Our prediction for the match Cagliari vs Verona
“The Islanders” were able to return to the Serie A in 2023 after a short stay in the second division of the country. Ranieri, who achieved the higher mentioned result, then also kept the representative of Sardinia in the top league of Italy (36 points were enough for that purpose because that was 1 point more than Frosinone, which took 18th place and was relegated). “The Mastiffs”, who were almost relegated in 2023, then saved themselves by a victory in “spareggio” with Spezia and managed to rise to 13th place. They have got 38 points, which is 1 point more than their current opponent.
Davide Nicola arrived in Sardinia to coach. It seemed that the team got into shape after a difficult start – there was a stretch with a cup victory and 7n points in 3 rounds of the Serie A. Still, then the club lost 3 times in a row, and only the confrontation with Milan brought a 3-3 draw (Zappa equalized in the 89th minute of the game). Then there was another spectacular draw, with Genoa. “The Mastiffs”, being under the leadership of a new coach, Paolo Zanetti, began the championship with a 3-0 result in the battle against Napoli. Then there were victories over Genoa, Venice and Roma. Still, the rest of the matches brought only defeats. For instance, the team lost to Inter with a 0-5 score.
The hosts score 1 goal per match, but they concede almost twice as many – 1.83. The guests are good in attack, which allows them to score almost one and a half goals. At the same time, everything is levelled by the fact that they concede over 2.2 goals per round.
