Cagliari
- Cagliari are winless in their last five Serie A matches, having lost four and drawn one.
- Cagliari’s run of five games without a win has seen them fall to 16th in the Serie A 2025/2026 table after taking 30 points from their 31 games so far.
- Fabio Pisacane took charge of Cagliari in June 2025 and has given the club a different tactical flexibility to play through their young players in a more structured style.
- Cagliari’s system is much more proactive and they are happy to use their midfield to dictate the tempo and keep the ball in the final third, giving their wide runners time and space.
Cremonese
- Cremonese have fared little better, winning only one of their last five Serie A games, losing four.
- That’s one place and three points above Cremonese, who have 27 points from their 31 Serie A outings to date.
- Marco Giampaolo took over the reins in March 2026, so has had less time to stamp his authority on the club, but his pragmatic, survival-focused approach is evident.
- Cremonese will set up in their 3-5-2 and look to frustrate Cagliari’s pressing tactics before hitting on the counter-attack.
Head-to-Head
So we’re not expecting a landslide victory for either side in this all-important matchup, but Cagliari have the psychological advantage of having never lost at home to Cremonese and should edge a result.
Key Players
Federico Bonazzoli is Cremonese’s main man with seven Serie A goals in 28 appearances , including two in their last five, and his knack of scoring when his team needs it will be crucial for Cremonese to stay in the game when they are forced into their deep defensive block.
