Cagliari form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie A travels is 3 wins, 6 draws and 3 defeats. Cagliari are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Sampdoria fixture.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie A home defeat versus Roma with 3-4 on the scoreboard. A 0-1 loss hosting Napoli before that.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Cagliari, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? Cagliari goalkeeper Robin Olsen had a great day against Roma, but despite making seven saves the loss could not be avoided.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Cagliari have scored 16 goals in 12 league games away. As opposed to that, Cagliari have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road.
