In the last match, they lost with Lazio away by (4-0), after in the previous game to have won at home, in a game against Bologna, by (1-0).

Sampdoria is a club that has already won the Italian League once in its history in the 1990/91 season. In the current season, the team has been fighting to stay on top of the table of the Italian League, being today four points behind the first team within the zone of classification for the Europa League, Atalanta. In the last seven home games of the Italian League, Sampdoria were beaten only by the Internazionale, who is now in fifth place. I believe that in this game, for being facing a weaker opponent and seeking to get closer to the classification zone for European competitions, Sampdoria will be superior to the opponent and will get another positive result inside his stadium where he was defeated only once in the last nine games.
Analysis of Cagliari
The visiting team is currently in 14th place with 33 points, after 9 wins, 6 draws and 19 losses. In the penultimate match, lost out to the Internazionale by (4-0). In the last match, tied at home to Bologna by (0-0). This is a team little affected by the home factor, that is, presents similar results at home and away, since in the last 30 games has recorded 4 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses as a visitor, with a total of 12 goals scored and 22 conceded. Already inside the home, he won 4 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses, with a total of 17 goals scored and 28 conceded. In the last 10 away games, Cagliari have won 2, 3 draws and 5 losses, having won 9 points out of 30. In matches played outside the league, the most frequent result at the end of the first 45 ‘was 0-0, which was verified in 6 of his 17 matches. Defensive solidity has not been his strong point, having conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 games for this competition. In 34 games in this competition, he only managed 3 turns on the scoreboard in 22 games in which he suffered the first goal.

Cagliari is a club that has already been champion of the Italian championship in the season of 1969/70, its last title conquered was the one of Serie B in 2015/16, achievement that gave him access to the elite of the Italian soccer. The team made a modest campaign in Serie B 2016/17 finishing in twelfth place. In the current season Cagliari made again making a modest participation and is in the fourteenth place, being four points of the zone of relegation. Even though they need to win at this moment, Cagliari are very likely to have great difficulties against Sampdoria, as the governing team are very keen to win a berth in the Europa League, so I think Cagliari will have a draw in this game.
