Fiorentina – Cagliari

Match analysis

Fiorentina head into the home fixture against Cagliari languishing in 15th place with just three points from one win and three defeats, and a bleak 5‑11 goal deficit. Their opponents sit comfortably in fifth, having amassed nine points from three victories and a single loss while boasting a modest +2 goal difference at 4‑2. The gap in form is stark, and the Tuscan side will need to overturn a season‑long slump to keep any slim hopes of climbing out of the relegation zone. Cagliari, meanwhile, will look to extend their unbeaten run and cement a top‑half finish, hoping their recent consistency can finally break Fiorentina’s defensive woes. The clash promises a test of whether the struggling hosts can scrape a point against a side that has already proven its quality this campaign.
