Fiorentina displays better form in the last five matches with a record of 1.6 points per match compared to Cagliari's 1.4. The hosts show a significant advantage in xG statistics at their own stadium (1.7 vs 1.12 for the visitors away), suggesting higher quality in chance creation. Cagliari struggles severely with keeping clean sheets on the road (only 9% CS%) and has a high rate of goals conceded (average 1.55 per match). In home matches, Fiorentina averages 16.5 shots with 54% possession, which should translate into goals given the visitors' weak defense. A draw remains a realistic option due to the high number of draws for both teams this season, but xG statistics and form speak in favor of the hosts. Cagliari scores points sporadically away (18% win rate), making their victory the least likely scenario.
