Looking at their form, and Cagliari have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, conceding 7 goals in total. At the back, Casteddu / Rossoblu have seen their frailties exposed.

Leading up to this clash, Cagliari:

• haven't been defeated by Crotone when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.
