Cagliari vs Sampdoria Prediction & Betting tips
The surprisingly strong Sardinians from Cagliari close with their home game against Sampdoria the 14th round in Serie A from. After the start of the season with two defeats against the freshman from Brescia and Inter Milan failed at the maximum, Casteddu has stabilized in the episode astonishingly strong.
No further bankruptcy has been cashed, which is why Rossublu is unbeaten for eleven rounds! Not less than seven threes were scored. Because of these very good performances mixed the title holder of 1970 in unusually high climes in the table. Only Lazio, Inter and Juve topped before the match day, the yield of Cagliari.
However, the team of coach Rolando Maran now comes with some personal worries into the game, as several regular players are injured or suspended. Sampdoria has also shown an ascending form in recent weeks. After a completely messed-up start to the season has also not been lost for four matchdays and finally a 2-1 win over Udinese.
One reason for the upturn is the change of coach last October. Here, Claudio Ranieri has taken over the scepter of Eusebio De Francesco, to which the catastrophic record of six bankruptcies on the first seven matchdays had been fatal. Under the new coach, the situation has improved noticeably.
So they won on the following rounds wins against SPAL and last against Udinese. Only one of the six games under the sporting direction of Ranieri was lost to Bologna. In the upcoming meeting between Cagliari and Sampdoria, the tip aims to ensure that the guests will at least once again not defeat the journey home.
Cagliari:
The Rossoblu finished last year only the 15th place. This repeats the placement from the previous year. Since the last ascent to Serie A in 2016 always succeeded only a two-digit table position. But things are going much better in the current season.
The Red-Blue beat some top teams like Naples or Bergamo in recent weeks – both times as part of a guest appearance. However, the last matchday was less enjoyable and should still affect the upcoming match.
Two players were lost in a 2-2 draw at Lecce. Especially the red card for the Swedish international goalkeeper Robin Olsen hurts. The keeper was loaned by AS Roma in the summer and is actually only the number 2. However, goalkeeper Alessio Cragno is still injured, which is why Olsen stood between the posts in recent weeks.
Now the Sardinians have to fall back on the 37-year-old Oldie Rafael. The Brazilian has been with Cagliari for four years, but over the years he has never been able to establish himself as a regular player, which is why his quality is clearly weaker than that of the two unavailable goalkeepers.
The second red card from the party in the newly promoted is less problematic. It concerned with Fabrizio Cacciatore an experienced defender who now has to pass as well. The defensive of the home side is thus weaker in the encounter. For this reason, the Cagliari against Sampdoria odds only slightly fall in favor of the actually stronger players home side.
Sampdoria:
Meanwhile, Il Doria has regained hope. The start of the season was as mentioned initially disastrous. Only a win on the first seven matchdays with six bankruptcies brought La Stamp the last place in the table. But after this sobering record Claudio Ranieri joined the coaching.
Curious in this context is that he had previously replaced Eusebio De Francesco at AS Roma. Against his former club also made his debut at Sampdoria. The match in mid-October ended in a goalless draw followed by a defeat at Bologna.
This was an uplifting start for Ranieri, but it was to be the last defeat to date. However, a long-term construction remains the attack: Since Fabio Quagliarella, the top scorer of the top Italian league last year, has almost completely stopped the scoring, the Blucerchiati offensive has come to a standstill.
In addition to Udinese, she has the second worst result in Serie A. She scored just nine goals in 13 league games. The crisis of form Quagliarella, whose last hit a quarter of a year ago, also led to the fact that he last received no appointment in the circle of the national team.
