The Cagliari squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Bologna, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.  In that game they had 28% possession and managed 7 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Bologna who had 16 attempts and 7 on target.  

It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 5 goals shipped and valuable points dropped.  They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.  

They have shown a solid run of form lately at The Unipol Domus, which has seen them go unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home matches while registering 3 victories from the same run.  

Goalscorer Gianluca Lapadula will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Cagliari.

It's fair to say Udinese will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Frosinone, a match that ended in a 0-0 draw.  They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Frosinone's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.  

Having scored just 3 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Andrea Sottil where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. However, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 9 in the same period.  Not only have they failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, but they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 7 games.
