Cagliari vs Sassuolo

Cagliari are aiming to snap out of a slump when they host Sassuolo in a Thursday night Italian Serie A fixture.

The hosts have looked out of sorts lately and are also struggling at home. Meanwhile, the visitors have picked up some key results on their travels and should do enough to avoid defeat here.

Cagliari News

Cagliari head into this clash off the back of a 2-2 draw at Verona last time out in Serie A. They fought back from two goals down, with late efforts from Riyad Idrissi and Mattia Felici earning them a share of the spoils.

While manager Fabio Pisacane will be pleased with the fighting spirit, the result means Cagliari are now winless in their last four matches. Things are even worse at home at the moment, having lost their last two matches in front of their fans.

One of the issues for Cagliari is a lack of cutting edge in attack, which has seen their four Serie A home matches this season produce under 2.5 goals. The last three fixtures on this run have also served up under 1.5 goals in both halves.

Sassuolo News

Sassuolo are coming off a 1-0 home defeat to Roma in their previous Serie A fixture. Despite playing at home, they struggled to find their rhythm and finished with just a single attempt on target throughout the contest.

Manager Fabio Grosso will be keen to get things back on track as Sassuolo had been unbeaten in their previous three matches, picking up two wins in this run. They are also unbeaten in their last two away matches in the league.

Like the hosts, Sassuolo often serve up low-scoring encounters, with their last three matches producing under 2.5 goals. All three fixtures have also offered up under 1.5 goals in both halves.

Head to Head

Cagliari have three wins while Sassuolo have picked up two victories, with seven draws in the last 12 matches. The hosts earned a 2-0 away win in the last meeting back in 2024.

Verdict

Cagliari v Sassuolo

Cagliari are well below their best lately and have lost their last two Serie A matches. Sassuolo are unbeaten in three of their last four league matches and can avoid defeat in Thursday’s clash.

Both teams often struggle for goals, and with Sassuolo’s last three matches producing under 2.5 goals, a repeat could be in the cards here. With Cagliari’s last three home matches serving up under 1.5 goals in their last three home fixtures, a similar pattern could be considered.
