The Serie A returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Cagliari lock horns with a struggling Hellas Verona side in an important encounter at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on Sunday.

Hellas Verona vs Cagliari Preview

Cagliari are currently in 16th place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side slumped to a narrow 2-1 defeat at the hands of Napoli last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.

Hellas Verona, on the other hand, are in 19th place in the league table at the moment and have been in poor form over the past year. The hosts suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Fiorentina in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
