"Despite hanging onto their top-flight status last season, the Islanders have a real battle on their hands this time around. Signing off November with a 2-1 loss at the hands of Italian giants Juventus, Fabio Pisacane's side have now failed to win any of their previous 10 appearances across all competitions - a rut that stems all the way back to September 23rd."
"Nevertheless, remarkably sat within touching distance of top spot, Gian Piero Gasperini's side have received plenty of plaudits from across the continent. Getting their charge for a Europa League knockout stage ticket back on track last month as they secured a 2-1 victory at home against Midtjylland, the former Atalanta boss has seen his squad win each of their other four appearances across all competitions."
Cagliari exited the Coppa Italia on penalties at Napoli and have not won in ten matches across all competitions since September 23. The side lost 2-1 to Juventus in late November and were beaten 2-1 at home by Sassuolo on October 30. Cagliari sit just one point above the relegation zone and have taken only one point from their last four Serie A home games at the Unipol Domus. Roma, despite a 1-0 defeat to Napoli, remain near the top, have won most recent matches including a Europa League win over Midtjylland and a 3-1 victory at Cremonese, creating a favorable opportunity on Sunday.
