Cagliari vs. Como Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Cagliari and Como, taking place on Saturday, 14 January 2023, at The Unipol Domus in Cagliari.
Cagliari, Recent Form
Having taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-0 home win over Cosenza in their last league game, Cagliari will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. In that game they had 55% possession and managed 25 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Cosenza who had 14 attempts and 5 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Roberto Muzzi will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 9 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. The defensive quality of his current squad will be troubling him of late, his defence having only notched up 1 clean sheet from their last 6 home games. It's been rare for their fans not to have had something to shout about this season, with their team scoring in 9 out of 10 home games.
They have been performing well at The Unipol Domus recently and are unbeaten in their last 6 home games.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Cagliari, Leonardo Pavoletti will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Como, Recent Form
Como will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-0 home win against Cittadella. In that game they recorded 43 of the possession, with 10 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 1 of their 18 shots on goal.
Moreno Longo will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 9 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 5 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 4 of their last 6 matches on their travels. They are providing themselves with a good foundation for decent results away from home with their recent run of 2 clean sheets.
Como will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Leonardo Mancuso will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Como.
Cagliari vs. Como Head to head
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
Goals should be on the cards for I Lariani in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Cagliari in their last 7 meetings together.
The last 3 league meetings between these teams have ended in a draw, but Cagliari may still feel they have the upper hand, given they have not lost any of their last 5 league encounters with Como.
