Match Preview
The Islanders welcome Sassuolo Calcio to the Sardegna Arena on Saturday for this Serie A match. Sassuolo won 1-0 when the teams last faced each other back in January in the Italian Cup Round of 16 at the Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore. It brought to an end a run of five straight draws between the two sides.
Cagliari Calcio come into the match on a run of five defeats in a row. They have picked up three points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Serie A matches.
I Rossoblu lost their last league match at home to Juventus Turin. Expected goals of 1.6 to 0.2 in favour of Juventus indicates perhaps it was a fair result. João Pedro’s opening goal maybe came a little early for Cagliari as they were unable to hold onto the lead for over 80 minutes. It was the only shot the Islanders managed in 90 minutes. João Pedro now has 12 league goals this season for Cagliari and is the 2.15/1 favourite to get on the scoresheet again here. The final score of the match was 1-2.

The Watermelon Rind won their last league match at home to Atalanta BC. Expected goals of 1.9 to 1.7 in favour of Atalanta indicates Sassuolo didn't deserve all three points on the balance of chances created. Perhaps this is a little deceptive though give that I Neroverdi were 2-0 up and coasting when Atalanta pulled a late goal back in injury-time.
Hamed Junior Traore was in good form as he scored a brace of goals against Atalanta. Junior Traore now has seven goals this season in the league for Sassuolo and is 3.2/1 to get on the scoresheet again here. The final score of the match was 2-1.
