Cagliari vs Sampdoria Live Stats & Betting Odds
Cagliari Prediction – Can Cagliari extend impressive unbeaten run?
The hosts bring an impressive 11-match unbeaten run into their Serie A clash against strugglers, Sampdoria, on Monday night which has helped Cagliari into 5th place, and another three points here would see the hosts draw level on points with 4th placed Roma.
This excellent sequence of results for Cagliari includes 7 wins and they’ve won 3 of their last 4 matches in the Italian top flight with victories against Bologna, Atalanta and Fiorentina, the latter being a 5-2 victory at home.
Despite a poor start at home which saw Cagliari lose their first two matches on the trot with defeats to Brescia and Inter Milan, the hosts have since responded in positive fashion as they’re unbeaten in their last 5 matches, winning 4 of these with earlier wins against Genoa and SPAL as well as the aforementioned Bologna and Fiorentina victories.
Cagliari’s home record now stands at a healthier looking 4-1-2 15/9 and they’re unbeaten in their last 10 meetings at home against Sampdoria, so they look well set to continue this trend on Monday night.
Sampdoria Prediction – Can Sampdoria continue revival?
A 4-match run without defeat in Serie A has given Sampdoria a lifeline in their battle against relegation and indeed this improved set of results has helped lift the visitors out of the bottom three and they now hold a 2-point lead over the relegation zone prior to tonight’s clash.
Sampdoria have picked up important points in draws with Lecce and Atalanta as well as picking up vital wins against SPAL and Udinese, but it should be noted that with the exception of Atalanta, three of these four results were picked up against teams sitting in the lower regions of Serie A.
The recent 1-0 victory at SPAL ended a run of 5 straight defeats on the road for Sampdoria who had earlier succumbed to losses at Sassuolo, Napoli, Fiorentina, Hellas Verona and Bologna amidst a poor away record of 1-0-5 4/12 while the bigger picture also shows that Sampdoria have struggled away from home for some time.
The visitors have won just 3 of their last 16 away matches in Serie A and they’re expected to have their work cut out against this solid Cagliari side this Monday night.
