Cagliari form and stats

Cagliari have only collected 15 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 2-9-6 (17 played).

Cagliari won their last game, 2-1 versus Ternana played at home. That win felt good as this team had gone four league games without victory.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Parma wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
