The Sardinians most recently suffered a 2-1 loss to Fiorentina at the Sardegna Arena in midweek after taking a seventh minute lead via Roberto Piccoli before I Viola turned things around thanks to strikes from Robin Gosens and Lucas Beltran.

Hellas Verona vs Cagliari Prediction
Hellas Verona come into this one on the back of a four-match losing streak that is dragging them back towards the bottom three and the danger zone. They now face a Cagliari side that can heap the misery on them by leapfrogging them in the table but the form of the bottom four would suggest that both sides will eventually be comfortably clear of trouble. That said, a low-scoring would be expected here.
