An important duel in the bottom section of the Serie A, with both Fiorentina and Cagliari experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 14th and the visitors in 15th place.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Fiorentina form and stats
2 victories, 4 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Fiorentina have to build on here at Stadio Artemio Franchi in the Serie A. Fiorentina has four consecutive draws when playing at home, an interesting stat.
In their previous game, the manager C. Prandelli led his Fiorentina to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Lazio. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Artemio Franchi. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Bologna.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Fiorentina have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost one.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Inter are coming to town in three days.
Fiorentina has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. On the other hand, Fiorentina have conceded 8 goals.
Cagliari form and stats
Cagliari have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 1-3-4 (8 played). Recent form does not give Cagliari much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Fiorentina will be a tough nut to crack.
Cagliari might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Benevento proved too strong as Cagliari slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Sardegna Arena. A loss against Napoli was the result prior to that, in a home game.
We have checked recent matches where Cagliari have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those six games were zero victories, one draw and five defeats.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Coppa Italia trip to Atalanta.
Cagliari find the net regularly in their away games. 11 goals from 8 away fixtures in the league. For Cagliari, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's four Fiorentina victories, two draws and four Cagliari wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
