Match Analysis

Cagliari's recent performances have been a mixed bag, starting with a tough 3-1 away defeat to league leaders Inter. They bounced back with a goalless draw against Empoli and a confident 3-0 home victory over Monza. Despite their resilience, Cagliari's average of 1.4 goals scored against 1.0 conceded in the last five matches indicates a struggle to maintain consistency. Their expected goals statistics further highlight this, as they have been scoring slightly less than anticipated while conceding more. Fiorentina, meanwhile, have shown solidity in their recent outings. They managed a 0-0 draw against Parma, a thrilling 2-2 away draw at Milan, and a crucial 1-0 victory over Atalanta. With an average of 1.2 goals scored and 1.6 conceded per game in the last five matches, Fiorentina has demonstrated both scoring potential and defensive lapses. However, their three clean sheets in recent games showcase their ability to tighten up at the back when needed.

Final Prediction

Fiorentina's edge in this matchup stems from their higher league position and recent form, including a notable win against a strong Atalanta side. A key factor to watch during the game will be Fiorentina's ability to capitalize on their scoring opportunities while maintaining defensive discipline, something that has given them the upper hand in recent matches. Cagliari will need to leverage their home advantage and focus on converting their chances if they wish to challenge Fiorentina's dominance.
