---

Cagliari slipped up at home in a 2-0 loss to Udinese in last weekend’s Serie A action but with a six-point cushion between themselves and third from bottom club Cremonese and a more favourable goal difference, barring two heavy defeats, Cagliari should still be safe from the drop.

League wins have been hard to come by though for Cagliari as Sunday evening’s hosts have managed to capture just two wins from their last 13 matches in the Italian top flight, which came in the form of rare victories against Atalanta and Cremonese.

However, Fabio Pisacane’s side have also been dealt no fewer than eight defeats within these previous 13 matches overall in Serie A while an overall home record of 6-4-8 20/22 suggests this Sunday’s encounter against Torino looks far from straightforward.

Torino occupy the relative safety of a mid-table position of 12th place in the Serie A table ahead of Sunday’s action in the domestic top flight and the visitors can be satisfied with a pretty solid campaign which has seen Roberto D’Aversa’s side safely avoid any relegation worries this term.

Indeed, Torino have suffered just two defeats within their previous eight games in Serie A while also picking up four wins and points gained in two draws which underline how hard the visitors have been to be beaten in recent weeks.

The visitors will be keen to further improve upon an ordinary looking record away from home though in this upcoming clash as their away record stands at an underwhelming 4-5-9 16/32 to date.

The Betting Verdict

Torino look the more solid and reliable outfit heading into this encounter.
