Cagliari vs Monza

Nicolas Viola has scored a goal for two consecutive home games in a single championship for the first time since February 2020 (with the Benevento shirt in Serie B in that case, against Pordenone and Spezia).

Tommaso Augello became only the second Cagliari defender to record five winning passes in a single Serie A season after Luca Pellegrini (five in 2019/20).

Cagliari won both league matches this season against Monza for the first time since 1989/90 (in Serie B in that case).

Cagliari and Monza have met three times in Serie A, winning a game eachh (D1); the Brianzoli have found the net in each of those three meetings.

Cagliari are unbeaten in each of their last seven home matches against Monza between Serie A and Serie B, winning two games and drawing five from 1984 onwards.

Cagliari have only scored two goals in their last five league games (an average of 0.4 goals per match), failing to find the net on three occasions: as many as they did in their previous nine Serie A meetings (an average of 1.2 goals per game in the period).

Cagliari have lost four of their last seven Serie A home games (W2 D1): as many defeats as they suffered in their previous 15 games on their own patch in the competition (W4 D7).

Monza have earned 15 points in Serie A this season, while last term they had accrued 42 points after 29 games; the difference of 27 points is the largest among the teams present both in this and last season.
