Cagliari vs Fiorentina Predictions

• Fiorentina have won five of their last eight league games, losing just once during that run.
• Cagliari have only won two of their last 14 Serie A matches, and only two teams have worse defensive records than the Sardinian team.
• Including an extra-time cup win over Napoli, Fiorentina have scored 11 goals in their last two games.

Fiorentina hit the goal trail again

After a 4-0 loss to Torino a fortnight ago, Fiorentina have bounced back in style, hammering Napoli 5-2 in extra-time in the cup, before thrashing lowly Genoa 6-0 on Monday night. La Viola beat Cagliari 3-0 in the reverse fixture earlier this season, and will be confident of another win on Sunday morning.

Fiorentina have won five of their last eight Serie A games, losing just once, and only five teams can better their tally of 40 league goals this campaign. Vincenzo Italiano’s team have racked up 31 goals in their last 11 competitive outings, and Dusan Vlahovic and company will be licking their lips at the prospect of facing a leaky Cagliari backline.

Indeed, only Genoa and Salernitana, the two teams currently below Cagliari in the league table, have conceded more than the 43 goals shipped by Walter Mazzarri’s men in their 22 league games. Back-to-back losses to Roma and Sassuolo, the latter in the cup, have stemmed the momentum they built with consecutive victories over Sampdoria and Bologna, and Cagliari have now won two of their last 14 league games.

Back Viola with confidence

With Cagliari continuing to struggle, losing five of their last seven league games to nil, backing the visitors is an easy choice ahead of this clash. Fiorentina have scored two or more goals in seven of their last nine games, so a 2-0 away win also looks a strong correct score prediction.
