Each team's starting lineup from their last match in this tournament is listed.
Cagliari
Davide Nicola's side shared the spoils with Genoa in their last away match (2-2). As a result, Cagliari extended their winless streak in the league to five matches (2 draws, 3 losses). Furthermore, the club has conceded at least two goals in their last six Serie A encounters. The team has accumulated 11 points and sits 16th in the standings.

- The number "2" has appeared in the final score of 5 of Cagliari's last 6 Serie A matches.
Verona
Paolo Zanetti's side suffered a heavy 0-5 defeat at home to Inter in the last round. This was Verona's ninth defeat in the current league campaign and their second loss by a five-goal margin. In the standings, the club has 12 points and occupies 14th place. Notably, Verona has the worst defensive record in this Serie A season, conceding 32 goals.
Defender Martin Frese and midfielder Ondrej Duda will miss the game due to injuries.

- Both teams have scored in 7 of Verona's last 10 away Serie A matches.
Cagliari vs. Verona: Match Prediction
Even at home, Cagliari rarely manages to play solidly in defense. The team concedes regularly: in their last 17 home Serie A matches, they have kept just one clean sheet. Moreover, Davide Nicola's side has conceded at least two goals in their last five home league games.
Verona shows decent attacking prowess even in away fixtures. Despite not shining in recent results, they consistently trouble opponents' defenses, resulting in goals: Verona has scored in 9 of their last 11 away Serie A matches.
In my view, the visitors are capable of breaching Cagliari's defense at least once in this encounter. My prediction: Verona Individual Total Over 0.5
