It's an important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 20th and the visitors in 14th place.

Chievo form and stats

With 1 win, 5 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Chievo, who have the fewest wins (1) in Serie A, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Chievo manager D. Di Carlo and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Atalanta (placed 6th) in the Serie A. Before that game, the home loss against Milan with the scoreline 1-2.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Chievo here at Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi, with less than one goal per game on average (12 from 14 games). Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 26 goals have been conceded.

Cagliari form and stats

The hunting on away grounds hasn’t been very fruitful for Cagliari so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-10 (win-draw-lose). Bitter travels for Cagliari as they have lost six games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Chievo.

Cagliari are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Serie A against Fiorentina (placed 10th). Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Bologna's place.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Cagliari's away games this season with only 7 goals from 14 matches. Cagliari have conceded 27 goals in these games.
