Cagliari vs Genoa prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-03-06 19:45.
[p]Cagliari’s relegation fears grow by the week, as after a 2-1 defeat at Bologna last weekend they have now been beaten in four of their last six matches (W1, D1). That run has left them just three points clear of the drop zone, and with three of their next six fixtures coming against sides currently sitting inside the top eight, things may not be about to get any easier.[/p]
[p]Next opponents Genoa are not one of those sides, so the Islanders will hope they can get back on the winning trail on home soil, where they have emerged victorious in two of their four league matches in 2025 (L2). Working against Cagliari is their miserable home record against sides starting this round above them in the Serie A table, with those 11 matches yielding just two wins (D3, L6).[/p]
[p]Genoa will hope to add to the hosts’ misery as they look to further cement their comfortable place in mid-table. Sitting almost equidistant between the top half and relegation zone in terms of points, their season is in danger of fizzling out, something boss Patrick Vieira will be keen to avoid as his side strive for consistency – each of their last 12 league games produced a different result to the previous one (W4, D4, L4).[/p]
[p]Shaky form on the road has been the main culprit for that, as Genoa are winless in their last five away league matches (D2, L3). Encouragingly, Vieira’s men have restricted their hosts to one goal or less three times in that run, while they have also won two of their last three Serie A visits to Cagliari (L1).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Nadir Zortea has scored five league goals this season, with four of those serving as Cagliari’s first of the match. Genoa’s Morten Frendrup could follow him on the scoresheet as two of his last three top-flight goals have come against Cagliari, with both serving as the second goal of the match – including in this season’s reverse fixture (D 2-2).[/p]
[p]Hot stat: A league-high 16 matches involving Genoa have stood level at half-time this season (HT: W2, D16, L9).[/p]
