Cagliari 1-0 Hellas Verona

Current streaks

Recent form

Cagliari

Cagliari's recent form has been a mixed bag, with the team struggling to find consistency in Serie A. The Sardinians have experienced a concerning run of three consecutive defeats, followed by two high-scoring draws in their most recent matches. Notably, their last six games have been goal-fests, with an impressive average of 3.67 goals per match. Cagliari have shown resilience in attack, scoring in four of these six fixtures, including a thrilling 3-3 draw against AC Milan. However, their defensive frailties are evident, having conceded in every match and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last eight outings. This leaky defence has contributed to their precarious 16th position in the league table, with the team desperately seeking to improve their defensive record to climb away from the relegation zone.

Hellas Verona

Hellas Verona are enduring a torrid run of form, having lost five of their last six matches in Serie A. The side have conceded a staggering 20 goals in this period, averaging 3.33 goals conceded per game, with their defence particularly vulnerable in high-scoring encounters against Inter Milan (0-5) and Atalanta (1-6). Their sole victory, a 3-2 win over AS Roma, stands out as an anomaly in an otherwise dismal stretch. Verona's inability to keep a clean sheet, now extending to 10 consecutive matches, is a significant concern. With over 2.5 goals occurring in 83% of their recent fixtures and both teams scoring in half of the games, Verona's matches have been entertaining for neutrals but worrying for their supporters. The team's current 14th position in the league table belies their poor recent form, suggesting they may be at risk of slipping further down the standings if they cannot rectify their defensive frailties.

Recent home/away form

Cagliari

Cagliari's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with the team struggling to find consistency at their own ground. Despite their low league position, they've shown flashes of resilience, most notably in their thrilling 3-3 draw against AC Milan in their latest home fixture. This high-scoring affair was a departure from their previous struggles, as they had endured a run of three consecutive home defeats in Serie A, including a heavy 4-0 loss to Napoli. Their defensive frailties are evident, conceding an average of 2.17 goals per game in their last six matches. However, Cagliari have managed to secure two wins at home during this period, including a narrow victory in the Coppa Italia. The team's ability to score has been inconsistent, with three of their six home games ending in clean sheets against them, yet they've also produced two three-goal performances, highlighting their potential for offensive outbursts.

Hellas Verona

Hellas Verona's away form has been dismal, with the club enduring a five-match losing streak on the road in Serie A. Their sole away victory came against Genoa on 1st September, after which they've struggled to find their footing. The team's defensive woes are particularly evident, conceding an alarming average of 2.5 goals per game in their last six away matches. A standout low point was the 6-1 thrashing at the hands of Atalanta, highlighting their vulnerability away from home. Despite their poor run, Verona have managed to score in 67% of these matches, though this has rarely been enough to salvage results. Their current position of 14th in the league reflects their struggles, with both their attack and defence underperforming on their travels.
