The Unipol Domus in Cagliari is set to host a mid-table clash on Thursday between Cagliari and Sassuolo in the Serie A.
The Rossoblu have been inconsistent with their form in their last five games. The home side come into this game following a 2-2 draw against Hellas Verona in their last league game.
Meanwhile, the Neroverdi have been in much better shape in their last three games, claiming two wins and a draw. However, they failed to build on the momentum and suffered a narrow 1-0 loss to AS Roma last weekend.

Cagliari vs Sassuolo prediction: Home team to win
Key statistics
- Rossoblu have defeated Neroverdi three times in a row.

Correct score prediction: Cagliari 2-1 Sassuolo
We are predicting a 2-1 win for the home team, who have had a poor run of form in their last five games. Despite Cagliari's recent performances, their home ground often makes them a difficult opponent. The host have also dominated their previous meetings, with three wins in their last five and we expect them to secure a win in this encounter.
