Fiorentina vs Cagliari: Match Prediction
The home team tends to play actively in attack at home regardless of the opponent’s level, and that style regularly allows the side to score. In the last 12 home Serie A matches Fiorentina failed to break down the opposition’s defence only once; during that run the club scored against Juventus, Milan, Napoli and Roma. At the same time, in this period the home team managed a clean sheet on only one occasion.
Cagliari are also fairly effective in creating chances and score regularly even away from home. In their last ten away league matches the visiting team failed to score against only three opponents, two of which are among the best defensively in the current Serie A campaign – Lazio and Como. At the same time, the visitors have failed to keep a clean sheet in 12 of their last 13 away league matches.
We expect an exchange of goals in this encounter.
