Cagliari vs Sassuolo prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-10-29 17:30.
[p]Ahead of this gameweek, Cagliari sit one point and one place behind Sassuolo but will be targeting a fourth successive H2H win when they meet this Thursday.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Although Cagliari fought back from 2-0 down to secure a draw away at Verona on Sunday, it is now four Serie A games (D2, L2) since they last picked up three points. Both defeats during that run have come at home and the Islanders now face the possibility of a third successive league defeat at the Unipol Domus, something which they have avoided since their return to the top flight in 2023/24. In spite of their current winless run, Fabio Pisacane’s side begin this round of fixtures in 14th place, five points above the relegation zone and four points from the European places.[/p]
[p]Sassuolo lost 1-0 at home to Roma on Sunday to end a run of three unbeaten games (W2, D1) and they have now failed to score in their last two league matches as well as three of their last five across all competitions (W2, D1, L2). Although they began this campaign with back-to-back defeats, failure to win on Thursday would make it three games in a row without a victory for the first time since their return to the top flight in the summer. On the road, the Neroverdi have kept a clean sheet in their last two Serie A games (W1, D1), a vast improvement on their opening three away matches which brought three defeats across league and cup fixtures.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Sassuolo have won at Cagliari only once in nine Serie A H2Hs, with that sole victory coming back in 2017, six visits ago.[/p]
