In the Coppa Italia match, Cagliari will face Carrarese on Monday, August 12th. The match is scheduled to kick off at 21:15 Central European Time. The analysts from the Dailysports team have prepared a prediction for this game.
Cagliari
Last season, the team managed to retain their spot in Serie A, Italy's top division. Cagliari accumulated 36 points over 38 matches, finishing just one point above the relegation zone. It’s worth noting that Cagliari has won Serie A once, back in the 1969/70 season. Regarding their performance in last season’s Coppa Italia, Cagliari reached the Round of 16. They initially defeated Palermo 2-1, followed by a victory over Udinese (2-1), but were then eliminated by Milan with a 1-4 loss. Historically, the team reached the final of the Coppa Italia once, in the 1968/69 season, but failed to win the trophy. Ahead of the current season, Cagliari played four friendly matches, securing two wins, a draw, and one loss.
Carrarese
Last season, the team competed in Serie C, but after a successful playoff campaign, Carrarese earned promotion to Serie B. This is a remarkable achievement for the team, as they have returned to Serie B for the first time in 76 years. Carrarese began their Coppa Italia journey earlier, defeating Catania 2-1 in the first round. Their Serie B campaign is set to kick off in a week, on August 18th, when they will face Cesena away. During the offseason, Carrarese played just one friendly match, which ended in a 0-0 draw against Entella.
