Cagliari vs Fiorentina Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 23/05/2024, 06:43  by Sridhar in Serie A Predictions

With their Serie A safety confirmed before kick-off, Cagliari will look to end their season on a high when they host Fiorentina. The Sardegna Arena in Sardinia will host this matchday 38 game on Thursday. The hosts are 15th in the standings with 36 points, while the visitors are eighth with 54 points, having played a game less. Cagliari won 2-0 against Sassuolo last time out to confirm safety. They are only three points above the bottom three, but with the two teams below them facing off on last matchday, the Sardinians are confirmed of another season in the top flight. That win may be just their first victory over six league games, but they lost only two of their last eight matches. The record gets better at home, where Cagliari have avoided defeat in their last six league games, winning two and drawing four.

Fiorentina are currently in the Conference League play-off round qualification spot, although only a point ahead of Torino. A win here will confirm their top-eight finish, although their focus could be distracted here with an upcoming Europa Conference League final next week. The Viola are coming off a 2-2 draw against Napoli, which extended their recent impressive form. Fiorentina lost only two of their last six competitive matches, winning three and drawing two. That came in the Serie A competition, though, which was their only defeat in six matches, winning three and drawing two. Questions arise over their chances here, though, as Fiorentina has struggled on the road. The visitors have lost five and drawn two of their last eight away league games, winning only once, which came against the already-relegated Salernitana.
