Cagliari vs Sassuolo Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Serie A 2025-26

The Isolani have outplayed the Neroverdi in all of their last three meetings.

Cagliari Calcio are all set to lock horns with Sassuolo for their matchweek 9 fixture of the 2025-26 Serie A. Unipol Domus will witness the interesting contest between these clubs.

The Isolani were held to a 2-2 draw against Hellas Verona in their previous Italian league fixture. They scored two late goals, which earned them a point.

Cagliari will be coming for their next fixture with a better approach. They do need to work on their defence, and their attack can be a lot better.

The Neroverdi fell prey to AS Roma in their previous Serie A fixture. It was a close contest, but because of their poor performance in the final third, U.S. Sassuolo lost the game.

They will be the visiting team for their next league outing. This can keep them under a bit of pressure due to their current run of form.
