Cagliari have been looking poor in the offense so far this Serie A TIM season. They have scored only six goals in eight matches they have already had in their 2018/2019 league season. It`s worth noting that there are no solid strikers realistically in the squad of I Rossoblu. Last season they scored only 33 goals overall, that was the second worst result in the Serie A TIM after Hellas Verona. Interestingly, the team of Rolando Maran did nothing to improve their offensive line in the off-season and bought zero new strikers. Now the two main attackers of Gli Isolani are Diego Farias and Marco Sau who often show unproductive performances. Another two attackers that are Joao Pedro and Leonardo Pavoletti have scored five out of six goals overall for Cagliari this season. However, those two are not enough for the team to improve their table position. Also, the newcomer to the team Darijo Srna has been showing so-so performances recently. Obviously, I Sardi needed to think more about the new signings before. In their last three matches Cagliari beat Bologna with a 2-0 score, lost to Internazionale with a 0-2 score and drew against Sampdoria with a 0-0 score.
Fiorentina have won all of their home fixtures so far this Serie A TIM season. Furthermore, they have conceded only one goal in those games. Considering the recent results of Cagliari`s offensive line it is likely that the team of Stefano Pioli will be able to keep their goal safe once again in front of their home crowd. It`s worth noting that the Viola are quite an organized team overall. Their offensive line is full of solid players. Even though there is no key striker in the team there has been fourteen goals scored already this season by eight different footballers in their squad. Two of those players have been defenders. Thereby it will be hard for the head coach of Cagliari to determine who of the players for Fiorentina will need to be played personally with. The hosting side should score some goals and get the needed victory in the upcoming match.
Prediction for the match: Fiorentina to win.
