Cagliari
- Cagliari are in a poor run of form, having gone 1-1-3 in their last 5 games.
- The Rossoblù have won just one, drawn one and lost three of their last five games and have clearly lost confidence since suffering away defeats to Monza and Bologna.
- Pisacane has got Cagliari to dig deep in a low-to-medium block, press selectively and build up patiently from the back, which can stifle opponents, but this game looks like a chess match between his style and Alvini's.
- Cagliari will probably keep the score down with their compactness and narrow shape but are not sharp enough at the other end to exploit Frosinone at the moment.
Frosinone
- Frosinone have been strong overall, with 3-1-1 across their last 5.
- Massimiliano Alvini has done a great job with the Giallazzurri since taking charge on 2 July 2025 and they arrive in Sardinia in good form - having won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five.
- Frosinone are 6th in Serie A 2026/2027 with 17 points, but Cagliari have slipped to 11th with 13 and their form is definitely a concern for Fabio Pisacane.
Key Players
- Antonio Raimondo is their main man, notching four goals in five games in Serie A 2026/2027, so the fact he has four of their last 13 and has bagged four in his last five looks very significant here.
- With Daniel Maldini doing almost all the damage up front for the Rossoblù, it could be a one-man game with him having three goals in the Serie A 2026/2027.
Betting Insights
Frosinone are 3.1 for the win , but we're going to go for Over 2.5 goals at 1.39 and Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.38 because that looks more likely, given the away side are averaging 2.00 goals scored and 2.00 goals conceded on the road in Serie A 2026/2027.
Prediction
- Frosinone's attacking talents and Cagliari's poor recent run suggest the visitors should do enough to win it.
- Cagliari are in such poor form right now that we'll take the Giallazzurri to edge this or at least get a draw in a high-stakes match.
