Match Preview
Cagliari hosts Fiorentina at the Sardegna Arena on Sunday, 24 August, in what promises to be an intriguing Serie A clash. Cagliari's recent form has been inconsistent, with just one win in their last five matches (DLLWL). Conversely, Fiorentina arrives with a solid run, boasting three wins and two draws in their last five outings (WDDWW). The visitors will be keen to build on their momentum and capitalize on Cagliari's defensive vulnerabilities.
One key angle to consider is the historical head-to-head record, which favours Cagliari slightly with five wins in the last ten encounters. However, Fiorentina's current form suggests they could challenge this trend effectively. The odds reflect a competitive matchup, with both teams priced similarly for the win. Additionally, the odds for both teams to score (BTTS) at 1.83 indicate expectations of a potentially open game, especially given that four of the last ten meetings have seen both teams finding the net. With Cagliari looking to improve at home and Fiorentina aiming to maintain their strong start, this match could deliver an exciting spectacle.
