Our Prediction for Cagliari vs Sassuolo
The Sardinian team collected only 36 points last season. However, that was enough for them to finish fifteenth—thanks to tiebreakers, they were ahead of Parma despite equal points. This season, things are going quite well: they advanced past Virtus Entella and Frosinone in the cup, and notched a couple of league wins—against Parma and Lecce. However, closer to mid-autumn their form dipped, losing to Inter and Bologna and drawing with Udinese. In the previous round, they also shared points with Verona, ending 2-2.
The visitors spent last season in Serie B. After relegation, the team showed an excellent result, confidently outpacing competitors and securing an early return to the top division. After a tough start in the elite with three defeats in their opening four matches and a cup exit (0-2 to Como), they managed to beat both Udinese and Verona, while earning a 0-0 away draw against Lecce. They did lose to Roma, but only by 0-1.
Davide Nicola’s side scores about one goal per game, conceding an average of 1.25. The newly promoted side also nets about one goal, conceding 1.13 per match.
