Cagliari vs Hellas Verona Prediction

Another European matchweek comes to an end, and we’re back to domestic action across the top five leagues.

We’re taking a deep dive into Friday’s game, where Davide Nicola’s Cagliari host Paolo Zanetti’s Hellas Verona.

Key Stats

• Both teams have won just one in their last six
• Cagliari haven’t lost in their last two
• Hellas Verona have conceded 32 goals this season

Team Previews, Form, and Standout Players

Both teams will be disappointed with the way they’ve started the season, with Cagliari sat 16th, and Verona sat 14th.

Cagliari Preview

Cagliari Predicted Line-up - Alen Scuffet; Gabriele Zappa, Yerry Mina, Sebastiano Luperto, Tommaso Augello; Razvan Marin, Michel Ndary Adopo; Nadir Zortea, Gianluca Gaetano, Zito Luvumbo; Roberto Piccoli

Cagliari, although haven’t won in their last five, have shown in their last two games that they’re able to pick up important points.

They had high-scoring draws with both Genoa and Milan, so they clearly do have some quality.

Razvan Marin has been excellent, providing a goal threat from midfield.

Hellas Verona Preview

Hellas Verona Predicted Line-up - Lorenzo Montipo; Jackson Tchatchoua, Pawel Dawidowicz, Giangiacomo Magnani, Domagoj Bradaric; Reda Belahyane, Suat Serdar; Tomas Suslov, Abdou Harroui, Darko Lazovic; Casper Tengstedt

I’d certainly expect at least a change in shape from Hellas Verona after their recent form.

They were pummelled 5-0 by Inter last time out, so they’ll need to change something.

Casper Tengstedt does have four goals to his name this season, but the defence will need to step up if they want to avoid another loss.

Verona might currently be sat above Cagliari in the Serie A table, but I don’t think that they’re by any means the stronger side.

Their weak defence sets them below their opposition, so I’d expect some goals in this game.

Overall we think the best bet to place for this game would be Cagliari to win & over 2.5 goals, backed up by our research.

Odds of 21/10 on Ladbrokes mean that a £10 bet has the potential to return up to £31 in this match.
