Cagliari and Parma return to action in the Italian Serie A when they go head-to-head on Saturday. Carlos Cuesta’s men are without a win in any of their last eight trips to Unipol Domus since May 2013 and will head into the weekend looking to end this 12-year run.
Cagliari went into the international break disappointed as they fell to a 1-0 loss against Napoli on August 30 after conceding a 95th-minute winner at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Before that, Fabio Pisacane’s side kicked off the season with a penalty-shootout victory over Serie C side Virtus Entella in the Coppa Italia first round on August 16, one week before playing out a 1-1 draw with Fiorentina on home turf.
With the loss against Napoli, Cagliari have failed to win five of their most recent six Serie A matches, losing four and picking up one draw since the start of May.
