Cagliari form and stats

Cagliari have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 1-5-4 (10 played).

Cagliari go into this game after a win, the home game against Benevento that ended 1-0. A heroic performance from Cagliari in their game against Benevento last time out. Things got complicated when Altare was sent off in the 73rd minute with the match level. Despite the red card the team were able to pull off a 1-0 victory! Attacker Lapadula got a player rating of 8.05 in the game. "Man of the match" Lapadula scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

A 0-2 defeat away at Modena before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Cagliari playing away and similar expectations, we found 4 relevant matches. Results were 1 Cagliari win, 1 draw and 2 defeats.

The attacking power of Cagliari when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 10 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Cagliari have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
