Cagliari are still in with a chance of qualifying for European football next season as they face a relaxed Sampdoria side at Marassi.
Sampdoria
Sampdoria have recovered to play their best football of the campaign in the last few months. A disastrous first half of the season had seen the team sit precariously close to the relegation zone, but the Blucerchiati have bounced back and have lost only two out of their last twelve Serie A matches.
Samp were riding a four-match unbeaten streak with victories over Torino and Lecce in that span. However, the streak was broken by Catania last weekend as Samp failed to find the back of the net for the first time in four matches. (Source: Goal.com)
Cagliari
Cagliari are in eighth position, four points behind AS Roma. This round will be fundamental for them with 6 matches remaining, to keep their European chance alive.
Cagliari have had an absolute dream season so far and have been the Cinderella story of Serie A. After losing their first five matches of the campaign, the Sardinian outfit have made a fairytale climb up the league ladder.
Massimiliano Allegri’s men currently sit in eighth place and are in the thick of things in the race to clinch a Europa League spot. It would be a stunning achievement for the islanders, and influential goalkeeper Federico Marchetti thinks they should give it their best shot. (Source: Goal.com)
