Cagliari vs Salernitana Prediction & Match Preview

• Cagliari are unbeaten in the last three Serie A outings.
• Salernitana go into this off the back of eight defeats and two draws in the previous ten league fixtures.
• None of Cagliari’s previous three league affairs provided three or more goals.

Cagliari picked up three huge points in a 1-0 away win at Empoli last weekend. Slovakian midfielder Jakub Jankto made the difference 20 minutes from time. Head coach Claudio Ranieri can be particularly pleased with his team’s defensive showing as I Rossoblu limited in-form Empoli to just three shots on target in the 90 minutes of action at Stadio Carlo Castellani.

Cagliari are still in the red zone but they will have a nice opportunity to move into safe waters with a result in the home fixture against rock-bottomed Salernitana on Saturday afternoon. Salernitana firmly hold the very foot of the league table with just two wins so far in the season. They are nine points shy of the safe zone with eleven games left to play.

Salernitana did manage to terminate a three-loss run seven days ago, though. They held Udinese to a 1-1 draw away from home last Saturday. Nonetheless, Fabio Liverani’s squad still have just two draws and eight defeats in the previous ten league affairs.

Recent Meetings

• Salernitana go into this winless in six successive matches against Cagliari. The teams shared spoils in a 2-2 stalemate in the reverse game played in October last year at Unipol Domus.
• Salernitana are also winless in the previous eight visits to Sardinia. Cagliari won and drew four games each in the previous eight home outings against Salernitana.
• Both teams scored in each of the previous three H2H affairs between these counterparts.

Cagliari vs Salernitana Prediction

Cagliari looked great defensively last weekend at Empoli. It was their third straight league game without a loss, following back-to-back 1-1 draws to Udinese and Napoli. I Rossoblu have shown better displays at home than on the road throughout the whole season. Head-to-head tradition also favours them going into this tie. They are unbeaten in the last eight home clashes with Salernitana. The visitors go into this off the back of two draws and eight losses in the last ten Serie A affairs. We do not need more reasons to go for the home win pick at the 1.85 odds.

Salernitana own the weakest defensive record in the division with 21 goals scored in 27 outings. They have been particularly struggling in the final third in recent weeks. Fabio Liverani’s men notched only two goals in the previous five league matches. Cagliari were impressive in defence on Sunday away at Empoli. I Rossoblu shipped just two goals in the last three league games, none of which provided three or more goals in general. We will alternatively back the Under 2.5 goals FT bet at the same 1.85 odds.
