Prediction
Despite losing their first two matches, Cagliari has been the surprise package in Serie A so far with the result that much impressive against Napoli and Roma, although the number of their underlying showed that finishing that they have been better than what would be expected given how much they have trouble creating good chances in open play under Rolando Maran and has been highly dependent on the crossing of the middle third.
On the other hand, this SPAL attack was really poor and the same can be said of their defense: absent from Mohamed prices and Marco D'Alessandro - two key players in this Semplici play attack-oriented wing - has greatly affected their offensive appearance; they really need to get more points away from home if they are to escape relegation this season and this fixture is a good opportunity for them, especially from a tactical point as their numerical advantage at the back can help them with a deep cross into the box their penalty.
