Cagliari will meet with Fiorentina this Sunday at the Sardegna Arena as the home side look to jump out of the drop zone just as the Florence outfit aim to keep up their fight for Europe.
It has been a season to forget for Cagliari, but things have turned around for them in recent weeks. The club narrowly dodged relegation last time out by just four points and their season thus far has gone near enough the exact same way.
However, three defeats that saw them concede 10 goals and score none, the club managed to beat Sampdoria and Bologna 2-1, which forced them above Genoa in the table and gave the fans great hope of escaping relegation in due course.
A 1-0 defeat to Roma last weekend brought them back down to earth though, while the same scoreline occured when they lost to Sassuolo in the Coppa Italia too.
Nevertheless, the club can cut the gap on Venezia with a win here and following their 21 goals in 22 games, the club have proven they can bag a few goals here and there.
Cagliari's record of 43 conceded against the likes of Dusan Vlahovic will cause Walter Mazzarri great concern, however.
The Serbian scored 20 goals in 23 appearances for Fiorentina this campaign, which includes 17 goals in 21 Serie A outings and there are no signs showing that he will show down this campaign.
The men from Florence are sitting in the Europa Conference League spot, and with Juventus' turnaround in form and the top four looking near enough untouchable for those sitting outside of those places, Fiorentina may end up fighting with the two Rome outfits for the sixth spot.
Nevertheless, Vincenzo Italiano's men have scored an incredible 40 goals in the league this season, which only Hellas Verona and Lazio can better from outside of the top four, while it is also more than Napoli's record too.
It will be a close game as Fiorentina have often gone under the radar this campaign with their excellence in going forward, and with Vlahovic in their side anything can happen. However, the home crowd behind them combined with turnaround in form give Cagliari the slight edge here.
Forebet predicts a win for them and the game to see over 2.5 goals as the home side look to edge further out of the drop zone and give their fans something to shout about.
