Serie A Predictions: Cagliari vs Fiorentina and More
The Serie A season is heating up, with several teams fighting for different objectives at either end of the table. According to analysis from Sports Mole, Cagliari host Fiorentina on Wednesday, with the home side seeking survival and the visitors aiming for a place in Europe.
Cagliari sit just above the drop zone with six games to play, while Fiorentina are fighting for a return to continental competition. The Viola have just booked their spot in another Conference League semi-final and will look to build on that momentum. Sports Mole predicts that Fiorentina will edge out Cagliari, with a predicted score of 0-1.
"Fiorentina have seen their away form dip over the past few months, but they should be capable of beating low-scoring Cagliari in Sardinia," Sports Mole notes. "With several game-changers in their ranks, the Viola will surely unlock the Rossoblu’s back line at least once."
In another fixture, Lazio will try to bounce back in Serie A after suffering a painful exit from Europe. The Rome club were beaten on penalties in the Europa League quarter-finals and will look to qualify for UEFA’s top competition next season. However, they face a tough test against mid-table Genoa.
Lazio have won just one of their last five league games and will need to improve their form to secure a top-four finish. Sports Mole predicts a 1-1 draw between the two teams, citing Genoa’s tough defensive record and Lazio’s tendency to score late goals.
"Genoa are so tough to beat, and Lazio could be vulnerable on Monday evening," Sports Mole notes. "Yet, the Biancocelesti have scored a league-leading 18 goals in the final 15 minutes this season – six coming after the 90th minute – and with no fewer than 16 strikes via substitutes they should at least stave off defeat."
Parma and Juventus will also clash on Wednesday, with the Gialloblu fighting for survival and Juve aiming to secure a top-four finish. Juventus have finally found some form, according to Sports Mole, and should have too much firepower for Parma to withstand.
"Having cast off the shackles, Juventus are finally finding some form, and they should have too much firepower for Parma to withstand," Sports Mole predicts. "Though the Gialloblu have tightened up under new management, they sometimes struggle to score goals – and that could yet cost them a place in Serie A."
The predicted score for this fixture is 0-1 in favour of Juventus. Sports Mole also previews the fixture between Torino and Udinese, with the home team looking to create separation from the visitors in the Serie A table.
Torino have a good record against Udinese, winning 14 and drawing six of the previous 26 top-flight meetings. However, Sports Mole predicts a 1-1 draw, citing Torino’s tendency to win by one-goal margins and Udinese’s battling qualities on the road.
"Four of Torino’s five wins on home turf this season have been by one-goal margins, highlighting the close nature of those victories," Sports Mole notes. "While the Maroons will expect three points again in this fixture, we anticipate Udinese’s battling qualities on the road could see the Friulians scrape out a draw in Turin and avoid a third straight loss on their travels and fifth consecutive disappointment overall."
These predictions and previews are based on analysis from Sports Mole, a reliable source for sports news and predictions. The fixtures are part of the Serie A schedule, which has been affected by the postponement of several matches due to the death of Pope Francis. The matches will now take place on Wednesday, April 23.
All the predicted scores are as follows:
- Cagliari 0-1 Fiorentina
- Genoa 1-1 Lazio
- Parma 0-1 Juventus
- Torino 1-1 Udinese
