Cagliari vs Verona Prediction
Cagliari have drawn their last two league games and have conceded at least twice in their last six outings.
Manager Davide Nicola has a clean bill of health and should field a strong starting XI. Alen Sherri has started the last two games and is expected to retain his place between the sticks.
Verona, meanwhile, conceded at least five goals for the second time this season last week. They have suffered five consecutive Serie A away games. Ondrej Duda, Juan Manuel Cruz and Martin Frese are the confirmed absentees for the visitors. Duda is also likely to miss out against Empoli next month.
Considering the form of both teams and recent history, a low-scoring draw could ensue.
