The Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this week as Cagliari lock horns with an impressive Fiorentina side in an important clash at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Monday.
Fiorentina vs Cagliari Preview
Cagliari are currently in 20th place in the Serie A standings and have struggled to cope with the rigours of the top flight this season. The away side slumped to a damaging 3-1 defeat at the hands of AC Milan last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent over the past year. La Viola were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Frosinone in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
