Cagliari won in the last round. "The Islanders took the lead on 38 minutes, but the teams went into the break tied. The start of the second half was signalled by a goal from Torino, to which Nicola's men responded twice. Although Koko's offensive auto-goal can hardly be called an answer. In the past four matches, the Rossoblu have three wins and share the points with Juventus. It's too early to say anything, as the team had the same losing streak before that. Recent successes have lifted Cagliari from the bottom of the standings. At the moment, the team with nine points in the asset is located on the 15th line.

Udinese lost their match. In the eighth round at the San Siro, the Friulians met with Milan. "Rossoneri" quickly took the lead thanks to a goal by Chukwueze in the 13th minute. However, Tigiani Reynders' penalty changed the course of the game. Expectedly, the Bianconeri became more active in attack. The team scored twice, but twice Menyon's goal was cancelled due to minor offsides. Kosta Runjaic's wards, interestingly enough, do not quite manage to play against teams from the "top echelon". Thus, in the last five meetings, the Zebras have lost to Milan, Inter and Roma. However, Udinese beat Lecce in the league and Salernitana in the Italian Cup.

At the Stadio Friuli, Udinese have lost only once in six matches this season. It happened in the meeting of the sixth round against Inter (2:3). Apart from it, the Bianconeri have won five victories with a total score of 11:2. "Cagliari" is historically a "home" team. For three rounds away, the team has produced the full range of possible results. However, often the "islanders" were close to defeat. Thus, the 2:3 shootout with Parma should hardly have ended with a victory for Davide Nicola's wards. The Rossoblu hardly deserved a draw against Juventus either. The figures prove it: according to the xPTS metric, the team have conceded 1.15 points, while according to xGA they should have conceded 4.54 more goals. In the last four league meetings, the Friulians have beaten the Sardis twice, and two more draws have been recorded. Can Cagliari get another win? Unlikely. Udinese will be much closer to three points.
