Among the games scheduled for Saturday, we have focused on the clash between Verona and Cagliari. The match forecast for these clubs has been prepared by our resource's experts.
Verona
The " Mastiffs" are compelled to battle for survival this season, finding themselves in the relegation zone, occupying the penultimate position in the league table. In the last round, Verona suffered a 0-1 defeat away to Fiorentina; seemingly nothing extraordinary, but the visitors appeared superior, failing to convert a penalty in the early stages of the match. The team has lost confidence, not securing a victory in Serie A since late summer. Three players will be forced to miss the upcoming battle.
Cagliari
Sardinians are navigating the current season in the role of a newcomer, with the primary task of maintaining their status in the elite. Cagliari sits only in the 16th position in the league table, with just a one-point cushion from the danger zone. In the last round, the team put up a fight away against Napoli but couldn't hold on, suffering a 1-2 defeat. At times, the Sardinians display an appealing style, yet consistency is lacking. It is crucial for the club to remain in the top division. Injuries will prevent three players from taking the field.
Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History
- Verona has a winless streak of 14 matches, accumulating only 5 points during this period.

Prediction
In this confrontation, direct competitors meet, where there is no clear favorite. Although Verona plays on their home turf, this advantage cannot be deemed significant. We anticipate a closely contested battle, where victory will be particularly valuable. A draw will not satisfy either side; the football should unfold on parallel courses. We consider a wager on both teams scoring to be acceptable.
