Two of the bottom three teams in Serie A will battle out in an interesting relegation six-pointer this weekend as Cagliari hosts Salernitana. This match will be played at the Sardegna Arena on Saturday, with the hosts 18th on 23 points and the visitors 20th on 14 points. Cagliari is in the third relegated position, where it is currently crowded. Teams from 13th to 18th are separated by just two points, which makes this match even more intriguing. Recent form gives Cagliari hope, as they are unbeaten in three games coming into this. They have five points from those three league games, including a 1-0 win over Empoli last time out. While that gives hope to the home fans, Cagliari needs to improve their recent form at this venue. They won just a point across their last three home league games, although Cagliari had four wins and two draws from six matches prior.

Salernitana are at the bottom of the points tally, with nine points separating them from safety. That looks like a difficult buffer to cover already, as the visitors have won just two points from their last nine league games. This sequence has seen Salernitana lose seven matches, although a 1-1 draw with Udinese last time out suggests they are ready to battle it out. They drew the reverse fixture 2-2, with a late stoppage time penalty giving them their share of spoils. In fact, three draws from their last three league matches against Cagliari suggest they may not be far from picking up a point here. Salernitana have also drawn two of their last three away league games, and a repeat mightn’t be a bad result after all.
