Total Goals Analysis

The Total Goals line is set at 2.5 goals, with Under taking favouritism at $1.57 and Over paying $2.20.

The stats strongly lean towards a low-scoring match. Cagliari have seen exactly one total goal scored in each of their two matches this season (a 1–0 win and a 0–1 loss). Given Cagliari's disciplined backline at Unipol Domus, backing Under 2.5 goals looks like a logical play as both squads aim to solidify their defences after last week.
