🏟 Unipol Domus (Cagliari)

Cagliari endured a tough 4-0 defeat to Napoli last week, leaving them winless in their first four Serie A matches (D2, L2) and in the relegation zone. Their attacking struggles are evident, having scored just once this season and registering only five shots on target in their last two games. Despite scoring in 11 of their last 13 home league games, Cagliari has failed to find the net in their last two home matches against Empoli.

Empoli, with a 0-0 draw against Juventus last matchday, remains unbeaten in their first four Serie A games (W1, D3). This positive start is their second-best in top-flight history. They have shown improvement on the road, with one win and two draws in their last three away matches. Coach Roberto D'Aversa will be eager to end his seven-game winless streak against Cagliari, a record including five losses.

💡 Cagliari vs Empoli Prediction

Cagliari's recent form has been concerning, especially in attack, and they face an Empoli side that has shown resilience, particularly away from home. While Cagliari has a good record at home, their current form suggests that they might struggle against a more resilient Empoli. Empoli’s improved away performances and Cagliari’s scoring issues make it likely that the visitors could secure a positive result.
