Cagliari prepare to battle it out against Sampdoria at the Stadio Sant’Elia on Monday night and both teams will surely be hopeful of grabbing the three points on offer from the encounter.
Cagliari Match Betting News
Cagliari earned promotion into the Serie A in fine fashion last season but many do anticipate the Rossoblu to struggle in the Italian top flight.
Unsurprisingly, Cagliari have endured a difficult start to their campaign so far and are currently languishing just above the relegation zone.
It is very early into the season but manager Massimo Rastelli would surely not have been pleased with the fact that his side suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat against Juventus in midweek and he will now be looking for a response during the Monday night clash with Sampdoria.
Diego Farias, Mauricio Isla, Daniele Dessena and Artur Ionita are the players out injured ahead of the clash for Cagliari.
Sampdoria Match Betting News
Sampdoria only managed to avoid relegation last season by the skin of their teeth and under new manager Marco Giampaolo, the Blucerchiati will surely be hopeful of enjoying a much more fruitful campaign this term.
Sampdoria have managed to claim two victories so far this season but a run of three consecutive defeats has meant that Giampaolo’s side have had their good start to the campaign undone.
Now Blucerchiati will need to bring an arrest to their terrible run of form and a clash against Cagliari could be one which they might just claim something from.
Carlos Carbonero, Antonio Cassano, Jacopo Sala, Andrea Tozzo and Daniel Pavlovic are the players struggling with injuries ahead of the clash while Edgar Barreto will be unavailable due to suspension.
Cagliari vs Sampdoria Match Prediction
Sampdoria have not lost against Cagliari in their last four consecutive encounters and they perhaps head into the clash on Monday as slight favourites.
That being said Sampdoria’s current run of form is very concerning and it remains to be seen as to whether they will be able to end the terrible streak. Cagliari also have not been in the best of forms as well though and a draw may well prove to be the most likely result from the clash.
