Cagliari v Arezzo Tips

Cagliari are the Serie A side, they're at home and most of the squad is available. Their latest run includes wins over Modena, Milan and Torino, plus draws with Sampdoria and Union Berlin, so they've been pretty good coming into this. Arezzo are decent, but this is still a big jump up in level for them.

Arezzo eliminated Brescia in the opening round of the Coppa Italia, winning 2-0. Last month, Arezzo recorded an impressive 3-1 win over Napoli in a friendly game and scored twice against Atalanta in another friendly. Cagliari's last defeat came at home, 2-0 to Udinese in Serie A.

Both Cagliari and Arezzo have struggled to produce high-scoring games in recent weeks. Predicting under 2.5 goals for this game is a good pick.

Cagliari needed last season with 4 of their last 6 games seeing more than 2.5 goals scored, so I like the look of the Over there today in this one.

Cagliari's defensive organization will neutralize Arezzo's limited attacking threats, ensuring that at least one side fails to find the target.

Cagliari still have to complete their squad, and there are a couple of situations to monitor. Rodriguez's future is still to be defined, as well as Sebastiano Esposito's situation. The guests have done well in the friendlies and won 2-0 in the previous round of Coppa. I back BTTS: Yes.

Cagliari will command the pitch from start to finish, asserting their top-flight quality to secure a dominant victory accompanied by a clean sheet.
