Hellas Verona - Cagliari predictions

Cagliari will give Hellas Verona a run for their money and there is no doubt about it. However, at 2.33 odds on home win in this match, we still recommend backing the hosts.

It would be a minor miracle for Cagliari to win at Hellas Verona, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 3.51 price on most online sportsbooks.

Apoint is never as interesting as a punter would want it to be but Hellas Verona will surely have been pleased with a Pisa draw from the previous trip in the Serie A. They return home for the Sunday clash feeling good about themselves after going level throughout both terms.

Cagliari are coming off from a crushing 0:2 defeat at their previous away game. The match was a largely one-sided affair. Top online bookmakers heavily favoured Bologna, who took the lead in the first half and went on to take home 3 points towards the Serie A title.

The home team’s tendency to see their defence crumble under the pressure of away games is worrying – they conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 away games. The fact that they’re at Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi this Sunday makes things easier for them, but not by a lot.

Though the home team have a 4_BEHIND_EUROPA_LEAGUE -point buffer between them and the relegation zone, they will definitely want to improve as the season moves on. Beating this matchup will not be easy, but it would be a great first step.

Cagliari are currently hoping to earn 5 points and move up to a Europa League qualification, though it’s still too early to tell if they can do it. However, it’s clear that earning points this Sunday will be quite difficult, considering most top bookmakers online are expecting them to lose.

Most online sportsbooks agree that Verona are more likely to win this match, which goes against what we’ve seen from this matchup last season. Cagliari recorded a decisive victory on that occasion, which means an upset this Sunday is not impossible.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
