Cagliari vs Hellas Verona Preview
Cagliari
Cagliari will play Hellas Verona at home on Friday in the Italian Serie A. These two teams are not too mismatched, and one can expect a fair battle.
Cagliari are currently ranked in the 16th spot of the Serie A table with 11 points to their name and will desperately hope to improve their showing in this game. Cagliari have not tasted victory in their last five matches, two of which were drawn encounters against AC Milan and Genoa.

This time around, however, manager Davide Nicola will hope that his team can spring a surprise or two on their opponents and catch them unawares.
Cagliari like to play on the counter and not press too high, and this tactic will be tested to the core against Hellas Verona. Their usual 4-2-3-1 formation can also withstand attacks inside their half, but Cagliari’s aim will be to get on the scoresheet in this game to gain an advantage.
Hellas Verona
Hellas Verona know that playing away from home will not be easy, especially against Cagliari, but they will arrive at this game with all their bases covered.
The crucial injuries to Juan Cruz, Martin Frese and Ondrej Duda will hamper their preparations ahead of this match, but Verona will be keen on looking past these disadvantages and working hard to gain a result.

As they are ranked two spots above Cagliari in the table, in the 14th spot with 12 points, Verona know that they have a slight advantage which they will be keen on making the most of.
They like to play with a three-man defence, which often gives them the upper hand while attacking. However, they will have to be careful against Cagliari if they intend to return with a clean sheet.
Their attackers also like to get on the ball early and dictate the pace of the game. For this to take place smoothly against Cagliari, Verona’s midfielders have to work hard in creating turnovers in play as frequently as possible.
Bet hereCagliari vs Hellas Verona Prediction
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: 1.74 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Cagliari 1-2 Hellas Verona
Verona have had a sizeable advantage over Cagliari in the past, as they have won eight out of the fifteen games played between them. The home team, however, will not relent as easily as it is made here on paper, as their supporters will back them to the hilt.
Both these teams tend to get on the scoresheet often, and hence, we expect them to do so in this game as well. Cagliari have done so consecutively in their last three matches while Verona have done so in three out of their last five encounters. The likes of Mosquera and Serdar are among some of the players to watch out for in the Verona lineup in this match.
Cagliari vs Hellas Verona Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Hellas Verona to win or draw
- Odds: 1.86 (22Bet)
Verona are much better placed than Cagliari in the Serie A table, and their historic advantage over their opponents also gives them a slight edge. We expect Hellas Verona to either win or draw this game.
Cagliari’s defenders have not been in the finest of forms this season as they have already conceded 24 goals in the league.
While this match may not end up being a high-scoring encounter, Verona are surely expected to be on the front foot. Despite them playing away from the comfort of home conditions, we expect them to win or draw against Cagliari.
