Cagliari vs Como Prediction: will Serie A debutante fail to pick up points again?

Prediction for the Serie A match which will take place on August 26. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Cagliari

The Sardinians remained in Serie A at the end of last season and retired the legendary Claudio Ranieri. At the start of the new championship Cagliari is led by Italy's top specialist in the fight for survival Davide Nicola. The debut in Sardinia for the mentor turned out to be successful. On their field Cagliari stopped Roma - 0:0.

Recall that before the start of the championship the Islanders held a match 1/32 finals of the Italian Cup, also at home beat the representative of the lower league Carrarese - 3:1.

Como

For Como, this was only the second time in their history that they have made it to Serie A. The team strengthened their squad ahead of the start of the league season, signing several experienced veterans and appointing Cesc Fabregas as head coach. The signings didn't help Como in their debut game, a 0:3 defeat to Juventus in Turin.

A week earlier, Como had also crashed out of the Italian Cup - a 1:2 penalty shootout loss to Sampdoria in Genoa.

Expert Betting Tips

In terms of names, Como have a stronger squad than Cagliari, but as the first round showed, Fabregas' team have yet to find a balance. Sardinians, although they changed their head coach in the off-season, are already a well-played team. We bet in the upcoming game on the home team, as well as the total under. Again, referring to the first round, there is no doubt that under David Nicola the Sardinians will build the game from their own goal.
