Hellas Verona
The fight for survival takes centre stage in Southern Sardinia as Cagliari welcomes Hellas Verona for a high-stakes relegation six-pointer. Both sides have endured a gruelling winter, with Verona currently languishing in the drop zone and desperate to snap a winless streak that has seen them struggle for goals. Cagliari, sitting just a few points clear of the bottom three, will look to capitalise on their home-turf advantage to distance themselves from the danger zone.

Heading into Gameweek 23, Cagliari find themselves in a comfortable, albeit inconsistent, mid-table position in 12th place with 25 points. Their recent form has been a rollercoaster but two wins on the bounce leaves them 7 points from the drop zone. Conversely, Hellas Verona are in dire straits in 19th place, having managed only two wins all season. They have scored 18 goals in 22 games.
In recent years, this future has been tightly contested, with often the home team coming out on top. In this pair’s last 18 meetings, Cagliari have 5 wins, Hellas Verona have 8 wins, and there have been 5 draws. The reverse fixture in Verona earlier this season ended in a draw.
