Cagliari form and stats
5 victories, 2 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Cagliari have to build on here at Sardegna Arena in the Serie A. All in all it has been a very rough period for Cagliari who hasn’t won a league-game in their last eleven attempts. Their previous win was against Sampdoria, 103 days ago. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Cagliari, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Cagliari's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 3-4 versus Roma (placed 5th). Preceding that match was a defeat to Napoli (0-1).
A goal frenzy last time out for Cagliari, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Roma. Fun stuff to watch! Cagliari's goalkeeper Robin Olsen was extremely busy against Roma, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning seven saves. The penalty miss from João Pedro in the defeat against Roma was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Cagliari have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found four matches with the results: Won two, drawn two and lost zero.
Cagliari are traveling soon after this match as the Serie A match at Hellas Verona awaits in three days.
The Cagliari fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 25 goals in 13 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Cagliari defense is not exactly impregnable. 23 goals conceded from 13 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Torino form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Torino so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 4-1-8 (win-draw-lose). It's all red in the travel logs of Torino, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team. With the Torino losing streak of six defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Torino, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Napoli (placed 6th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Milan wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Torino playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were one Torino win, two draws and two defeats.
A new game in only three days for Torino, the Serie A home match versus Parma. Busy days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Torino have scored 17 goals in 13 league games away. Torino's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 23 goals from these trips.
