FIORENTINA v CAGLIARI PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Both sides had good wins in midweek to continue decent runs of form. Fiorentina won away from home against Genoa while Cagliari beat Siena 4-2 at home. Cagliari have won their last four league matches and from the bottom of the table have moved to 8th. Only Juventus and Inter Milan have won more points over the last five match days in Italy. Fiorentina have won three from five and currently stand three places and four points above their opponents at the weekend. Matches involving these sides have produced on average marginally more tan two goals per game.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Cagliari’s confidence will have been enhanced by beating Torino away from home. That side were 6th in the table at the time so a home win would have been expected against Cagliari. Possession in the match was just about shared but Cagliari created more chances and sealed the points with a late penalty converted by Nene, a key player in attack. In the win against Siena Cagliari had over 60% of the possession. Fiorentina’s most recent home result was a win against Bologna in a match that saw them create more chances than the opposition despite seeing less of the ball. They had more of the ball against Genoa and converted just one of two shots on target.

FIORENTINA - CAGLIARI PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

This is a match that brings together two of the form teams in Italy and only the top two sides have accrued more points over the last three matches. Fiorentina are unbeaten at home this season and have only failed to win once in five matches. Cagliari have already won two matches away from home this season but have scored only three goals in five matches on the road. Both sides are playing with confidence and probably feel they can avoid defeat. However, home advantage can be key in determining the outcome of this match so backing Fiorentina to win is the recommendation.

Back Fiorentina at 1.62 with William Hill.

FIORENTINA - CAGLIARI PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

A narrow home win is anticipated with the margin of victory no more than one goal. The most likely correct score is 1-0 to the home side but backing Cagliari with a head start of one goal provides insurance if they can manage a draw. The goal supremacy is probably not going to exceed one which means this is not a losing bet if that occurs. A win for Cagliari, granted something recent form would not indicate, makes this a winning bet.

FIORENTINA - CAGLIARI PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

All the relevant statistics point to a low scoring game in which neither team is likely to score more than once. A goalless draw is not out of the question though it is more likely that Fiorentina score a crucial goal. In winning four matches at home Fiorentina have scored seven goals and conceded just once. Cagliari are far from prolific away from home and rarely concede more than one goal on their travels. These facts point to few goals and most probably less than three.

Take the 1.7 with BetVictor for under 2.5 goals.
