That's how they've played so far. Where the model has Cagliari finishing in May, and the odds on going down, come with a free account.
What the numbers say
Season to date, measured against the rest of the division.
Attack
The chances are not being made
18th of 20 for big chances created, and it shows in the goals. The problem is making them, not taking them.
6
big chances
Attack
Wasteful, not toothless
Scoring about 19% below what their shot volume supports. Finishing that far below the run rate usually corrects.
0.81
goals per expected
Defence
Hard to score against
2 conceded in 5, 0.40 a game. Whatever else is wrong, it is not the back line.
