Cagliari take on the visitors Empoli at “Stadio Sant'Elia” in the round 36 of the Serie A. The game will be played on Sunday, May 14th.
Last matchday Cagliari were broken on the road by Napoli with 1:3 scoreline. Though, in general the side goes through the great season as it managed to stay for another season in the Serie A after the team’s return to the elite division from the Serie B last year.“Gli Isolani” occupy the 13th position in the table with 41 points earned and 48-67 goal difference after 35 gameweeks. At their own turf Cagliari recorded 30 points gained, 33 goals for and 31 goals against in 17 encounters. “Gli Isolani” won two recent home clashes: vs. Chievo 4:0 and vs. Pescara 1:0.

After the seven-match run of defeats, as it is often happens with outsiders in any national football tournament at the end of the season, Empoli began to pick up points constantly. The side gained 10 points in five last clashes. Last round “Azzurri” beat Bologna with 3:1 scoreline in front of their supporters and at the moment they occupy the 17th position in the table of the Serie A with 32 points taken being four points above Crotone in their battle for the place in the Serie A. Empoli recorded 13 points earned, 10 goals for and 27 goals against in 17 encounters on the road. It should be noted that “Azzurri” won their two recent away fights against Fiorentina 2:1 and AC Milan 2:1.
Generally speaking, Cagliari do not need points badly in this season. At the same time, in recent games Empoli defeated much stronger opponents comparing to “Gli Isolani”, thus, I believe that “Azzurri” may count for the points in the matchup. At the end of the season motivation plays more important role than the rival’s level of football.
Prediction for the match: Empoli to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
