Cagliari and Cremonese return to action in the Coppa Italia when they square off at the Unipol Domus on Tuesday. Both sides head into the midweek clash off the back of contrasting league results, with Giovanni Stroppa’s visitors claiming a narrow victory over Catanzaro in Serie B.
Cagliari were left empty handed yet again, as they fell to a 2-0 defeat to Empoli in Serie A on Friday. Davide Nicola’s side are winless in their openng five league matches, losing twice, and sit rock-bottom in the points table with two points.
The hosts now turn their attention to the Coppa Italia, where they secured a comfortable 3-1 victory over Carrarese in the first round at the Unipol Domus last month.
