Cagliari will be searching for their first win of the season on Wednesday evening when they host Empoli in the fifth round of the Serie A.

Cagliari were one of the first two teams to make a managerial change this season.

I Rossoblu sacked Leonardo Semplici and hired an experienced Italian manager Walter Mazzarri at his place, hoping to shift their fortunes around before it’s too late.

Although Mazzarri had a very tough challenge on the debut at Cagliari’s helm, he managed to avoid a defeat as I Rossoblu held Lazio to a 2-2 draw away in Rome.

Cagliari were completely outplayed on the occasion and their second-half goals came against the run of play, but that point will definitely boost up the confidence in the dressing room ahead of a very much winnable fixture against Empoli.

The visitors won one and lost three of the opening four outings of the season. Interestingly, their lone victory came away against Juventus.

However, Empoli have revealed their quality limits once again at the weekend, falling 0-3 at home to Sampdoria.

Aurelio Andreazzoli’s men have thus lost back-to-back home matches against the likes of Venezia and Sampdoria, conceding as many as five goals in the process.

Knowing that Cagliari scored at least two goals in three of their four games so far (and yet they are still winless in the competition), we fancy the hosts to maintain their fine attacking form here.



译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

卡利亚里将在周三晚上意甲第五轮对阵恩波利的比赛中寻求本赛季的第一场胜利。

卡利亚里是本赛季第一批更换主教练的两支球队之一。

我解雇了莱奥纳多·森普利奇，聘请了一位经验丰富的意大利教练沃尔特·马扎里来执教，希望在为时已晚之前改变球队的命运。

尽管马扎里在卡利亚里掌舵的首秀中遇到了非常艰难的挑战，但他设法避免了一场失败，因为罗索布鲁在罗马2-2战平了拉齐奥。

卡利亚里在那场比赛中完全被击败，他们下半场的进球是在比赛进行的时候打进的，但这一点肯定会在更衣室里增强他们的信心，在与恩波利的一场极有可能取胜的比赛之前。

客队在本赛季开始的四场比赛中赢了一场，输了三场。有趣的是，他们唯一的胜利是对尤文图斯的胜利。

然而，恩波利在周末再次暴露了他们的质量限制，主场0:3输给桑普多利亚。

奥雷里奥·安德烈佐利的球队因此在主场背靠背输给了像威尼斯和桑普多利亚这样的球队，在这个过程中丢了多达5个球。

我们知道卡利亚里在四场比赛中有三场至少进了两个球(但他们仍然没有赢得比赛)，我们认为东道主在这里能保持他们良好的进攻状态。
