Cagliari vs. Fiorentina: Match Prediction
Davide Nicola's side has shown progress in recent home matches. This has been primarily due to the team becoming more aggressive in attack and achieving better results. In their last six home Serie A matches, Cagliari failed to score only against a defensively solid Juventus, while netting a total of seven goals against opponents like Monza and Lecce.
Fiorentina has been effective in creating chances even on the road and scores regularly. In their last 12 away league games, Raffaele Palladino's side failed to find the net only twice, scoring at least twice in five of those matches. However, the Florentines are not defensively solid, as they haven't kept a clean sheet in their last eight away games.
I believe both teams are capable of effectively attacking and exchanging goals in this match. My prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
