Nicola’s Cagliari are coming off two heavy defeats. Two defeats against Juventus and Bologna in which, perhaps, they didn’t even deserve to get nothing. And since the standings behind them, except for Monza who are now almost in Serie B, are really tight, for the islanders, in what is a real direct confrontation, it’s time again to score some points.
Genoa, on the other hand, were very lucky against Empoli: Silvestri’s own goal allowed them to snatch an important draw to put the defeat against Inter behind them. Let’s just say it wasn’t Vieira’s team’s best performance and the French coach himself made that clear in the press conference after the match. In this early stage, it’s clear that the points could have a double value, very important for the standings. And since the two teams, obviously, don’t have very big individual players in their ranks, it will probably be a match decided by nerves.
The team with the strongest nerves could take home the entire prize, but we believe that in the end, given the importance of the match, the two teams could really settle for a draw: to confirm this there is also a statistical fact to take into consideration. Both in the first leg, and in general three times in the last five matches played, the match ended in a draw.
