Cagliari – Verona : Preview & Prediction
A very important meeting in the race for survival for Caglairi, which receives Hellas Verona for the 35th day. 17th in the league with three points ahead of Salernitana and Genoa, the group coached by Walter Mazzarri is clearly not on a good momentum with six defeats in the last seven games with very unflattering results: 5-1 against Udinese or 3-0 against Lazio. Second worst defense in Italy with 62 goals conceded, “Casteddu” of its name in Sardinian must find a defensive solidity in a few weeks of the end of the season because we all know: a team that wants to maintain its position should not concede so many chances. Alessio Cragno’s teammates won against Sassuolo on April 16 and they must take inspiration from that game to get the three points after 90 minutes.
Verona travels without any pressure to the Unipop Domus. Igor Tudor’s men are in ninth place in the standings and have been doing well since February, despite two defeats in ten games. With only one defeat in their last five trips (3 draws, 1 win), the Gialloblu feel comfortable away from home and can count on an efficient attacking trio in front of goal: Simeone (16), Caprari (11) and Barak (10). After the 0-0 in the first round, an unusual score for this team, we hope for a more open game with goals this Saturday afternoon!
Cagliari won their last home game after 3 straight losses.
Cagliari will have to rely on Joao Pedro and his 12 goals to make the difference.
Hellas Verona won 2-0 on their last trip to Cagliari.
Hellas Verona scored 28 more goals than their opponents in the league (59 to 31).
Hellas Verona has taken only 6 points out of a possible 15 away from home since mid-February.
Cagliari can take a real option on the survival if they win this Saturday against Hellas Verona. For that, they will have to be solid defensively against a very heavy offensive armada. A defeat could add even more tension in a club that does not need it. The prediction of the day is draw or Verona, but we also advise you more than 1.5 goals of the away team!
