Cagliari vs US Pescara Preview

12th placed Cagliari hosts bottom of the table Pescara as they hope to get 3 more points from the Serie A stragglers.

Cagliari have 38 points from 33 games, and are 5 points behind 11^th placed Udinese.

Their recent form has not been very good, as they have won only 2 of their last 6 games, losing 3 and drawing the rest.

They are 14 points clear of the relegation zone, but would love to finish higher than 10^th which is a possibility if they win their remaining games.

They will fancy their chances against Pescara as they have already been relegated.

Pescara are stuck at the foot of the league table after collecting only 14 points from 33 games.

They are currently without a win in their last 6 games, losing 4 and drawing 2 of those.

They have a mammoth -42 goals difference and they will be playing in Serie B next season.

They managed to draw their last away game at Empoli, but prior to that game they were on a 6 games losing streak away from home.

They will be playing this game just for the sake of playing, and may struggle against Cagliari.
