Cagliari - Genoa predictions

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Cagliari on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

The visiting team is fully aware of the challenge that lies ahead. A win against Cagliari on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy task.

Having successfully kept their guard up both at the halftime mark and the end of the match, Cagliari will be pretty satisfied with their last round’s result (0:0). An away draw as this one will be sure to motivate them this Saturday.

Genoa are coming off of a minor success, relatively speaking. They secured a 2:2 draw against Fiorentina, who were tagged as hard favourites going in, but never managed to pull ahead.

The hosts have a dubious performance record at home. The previous 3 times they played at home were marked with over 5 goals conceded. That’s bad news considering playing at home is usually seen as an advantage.

Though we can’t say Cagliari fared too well so far in the Serie A, they have 3 points separating them from the relegation zone. Winning the match on Saturday would be great news for their table position, but the 3 points will not be easy to claim.

Though it’s far too early to truly worry about relegation, Genoa’s position as number 18th is very disappointing. They’ll want to improve their standing before it’s too late, and Cagliari are not about to make earning points easy for them.

Records show that the previous game between Cagliari and Genoa was a draw. That said, the match was played last season. Most sportsbook price a home win at 2.84 – as favourites, they’ll surely want a more conclusive result.

If you’re hunting for betting value, a Draw bet is by far your best option. Success is definitely not guaranteed, but the 2.98 odds provide a decent enough return to make the risk worth it.
