Fiorentina vs Cagliari Prediction & Betting Tips (8 December)

Fiorentina is making a big impression this season and today occupies 4th place in Serie A with one game less and 4 points behind the leader. Authors of a sluggish start to the championship, the Tuscans then found the right fuel, as evidenced by their current series of 7 consecutive victories. They won in turn against AC Milan 2-1, Lecce 0-6, Roma 5-1, Genoa 0-1, Torino 0-1, Hellas Verona 3-1 and Como 0-2. Last weekend's match against Inter was interrupted in the 16th minute following midfielder Edoardo Bove's illness. 6th in the Conference League, the Viola has a record of 3 victories and 1 defeat.

Close to the descent last year, Cagliari is currently 13th in Serie A and is 3 steps ahead of the relegation zone. The Sardinians risk having to work hard to ensure their maintenance. Last Friday, they carried out an excellent operation by taking over a direct competitor, Hellas Verona 1-0. This result comes at the right time since it put an end to a bad dynamic of 5 games without a win, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

Victim of illness during the match last weekend, midfielder Edoardo Bove is obviously unavailable this weekend. Furthermore, the former Rémois Richardson is announced as uncertain. After an injury which kept him away from the field for several weeks, striker Gudmundsson (3 goals in 4 SA matches) returned to the group during the last two matches. It strengthens an offensive sector where the Italian international Kean (9 goals in SA) displays very good dispositions at the start of the season. The Cagliari coach can count on his entire squad for this meeting.

We are thinking in particular of the important striker Piccoli (4 goals in SA) who shook the nets during the last two days. Against Hellas Verona, he was associated with the experienced Lapadula. However, the former Neapolitan Gaetano (1 pass in SA) could find a starting place this weekend.
