The thirty-fourth day of Serie A ends with the postponement between Genoa and Cagliari. The hosts want to end the season in the best possible way; Cagliari, on the other hand, needs the three points to move away from the relegation zone.
SERIES A: GENOA-CAGLIARI, THE NUMBERS
The hosts, with 39 points in 33 games, are the best newly promoted team this year. The team coached by Gilardino is in twelfth place, 10 points away from the relegation zone. In the last five matches, the griffin has obtained six points, with one victory, three draws and one defeat. The defeat came on the last day of the championship, in the match against Lazio.
Cagliari is in fourteenth place, with 32 points. Ranieri’s team is in full battle for salvation; at the moment, they are only three points ahead of Udinese, after Cannavaro’s team managed to get a point against Bologna. A victory today would be very important, but it seems that the fight not to be relegated could continue until the last day of the championship.
