Verona vs. Cagliari: Match Prediction
Neither team can boast strong attacking play or high scoring. Even at home, Verona scores sparingly: in their last ten home Serie A matches, they have not scored more than one goal. Moreover, in seven of these games, Verona failed to score at all. Meanwhile, in 3 of their last 4 home league matches, the club managed to keep a clean sheet.
Cagliari struggles to score on the road: in their last seven away Serie A matches, the team has not scored more than once. In four of these encounters, Davide Nicola's side left the field without finding the net. However, the team can defend well: in their last eight away matches, the Sardinians conceded more than one goal only three times.
In my opinion, this match is unlikely to be high-scoring. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
