Cagliari vs Sassuolo Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 11/12/2023, 05:56  by Devesh Jaganath in Serie A Predictions

Gameweek 15 in the Serie A will conclude with Cagliari taking on Sassuolo at Unipol Domus on Monday night. The hosts are currently second-bottom in the league standings, while the visitors are 15th. After securing promotion back to the top flight last season, Cagliari are at risk of dropping straight back down unless they are able to find some form in the second half of the campaign. They have recorded just ten points in 14 league matches this season and are only two points behind bottom club Salernitana. The Islanders were beaten 1-0 by Lazio last weekend, which extended their recent record to three matches without a win. That included a 2-1 loss to Juventus and a 1-1 draw at home to Monza. However, the hosts have experienced a notable improvement on their home patch of late, with two wins and a draw in their last three. Cagliari won the last league match between these sides 1-0, which followed five consecutive draws. 

Meanwhile, Sassuolo have made a decent start to the campaign, taking 15 points from their first 14 games. That included four wins, three draws and seven losses. However, with the bottom half of the Serie A table still being very compact, they are only four points above Verona, who are the first side below the dotted line. Sassuolo were beaten 2-1 by Roma in their last league outing, which followed a 4-3 win over Empoli and a 2-2 draw against Salernitana either side of the November international break. On the road this season, the visitors have taken seven of a possible 18 points, with a record of two wins, one draw and three losses. Having failed to win any of their last six against this opponent, the bookmakers make The Black-and-Greens the outsiders in this one.
