Cagliari

WDLLDL

Cagliari will be wanting a better result here after a 1-0 Serie A loss in their previous game against Roma.

In that game, Cagliari had 39% possession and 11 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. At the other end, Roma had 13 shots on goal with 1 on target. Artem Dovbyk (62') was the scorer for Roma.

It has been a rare occasion in recent times that Cagliari have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Cagliari have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 6 goals during that time. That pattern might not be carried forward here, however.

Coming into this clash, Cagliari are without a home win in the past 2 league matches.

Monza

LDLLLD 📉

In their last game, Monza drew 1-1 in the Serie A match with Parma.

In that match, Monza had 45% possession and 12 shots on goal with 4 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Monza was Armando Izzo (60'). At the other end, Parma got 14 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. Ange-Yoan Bonny (84') was the scorer for Parma.

The forward players for Monza have had real problems scoring goals over their last six clashes, recording the disappointing return of only 4. In those fixtures, Brianzoli have also seen the overall goal tally of opposing teams equal 15.

Going into this one, Monza are without a win away from home in their last 10 league games. Their travelling support will be needed here, for sure.

The last league game featuring these sides was Serie A match day 19 on 05/01/2025 and the score finished Monza 1-2 Cagliari.

📋 Team News: Cagliari

Florinel Coman (Achilles tendon irritation), Gabriele Zappa (muscular problems) and Adam Obert (Groin injury) will be missing for Cagliari boss Davide Nicola.

We are thinking that Casteddu / Rossoblu will possibly line up in a 3-5-1-1 formation this time and select Elia Caprile, Jose Luis Palomino, Yerry Mina, Sebastiano Luperto, Nadir Zortea, Michel Ndary Adopo, Matteo Prati, Tommaso Augello, Nicolas Viola, Mattia Felici and Roberto Piccoli.

📰 Team News: Monza

Monza boss Alessandro Nesta has multiple availability issues to deal with. Luca Caldirola (Achilles tendon irritation), Stefano Sensi (Hamstring strain), Matteo Pessina (unknown injury) and Andrea Carboni (unknown injury) can’t be considered.

From our viewpoint, Brianzoli will likely utilise a 3-5-2 lineup, going with Stefano Turati, Pedro Pereira, Armando Izzo, Danilo D'Ambrosio, Samuele Birindelli, Gaetano Castrovilli, Alessandro Bianco, J. Akpa-Akpro, G. Kyriakopoulos, Dany Mota and Keita Balde.

✨ Prediction

We envisage that Cagliari will more than likely get the goals that they need when they face Monza, who will not find it easy to get a goal of their own.

Our selection here is for a decent 2-0 victory for Cagliari come full-time.
