Cagliari 2026/27 Serie A Preview
Cagliari are fourth, have conceded two goals in five games and have won four matches by a single goal. Fabio Pisacane’s side have beaten Parma, Lecce, Atalanta and Udinese, all narrowly, and lost only at home to Internazionale by the same margin.
Elia Caprile has three clean sheets and 19 saves, and the two goals conceded is the best defensive record in the division by a distance. Daniel Maldini has three of the five goals, along with two direct free-kicks and a converted penalty. Harry Winks anchors the midfield.
Fourteenth and 43 points last season was a scrap against relegation, and this is a transformation. The shape has varied – the 4-2-3-1 has been used in only two of the five – so this is not yet a settled side, but a defence conceding at one every other game will keep them high for a while.
