SERIE A

Across nine Cagliari matches and eight Frosinone matches, the league table flatters one side and undersells the other in different ways. Cagliari are 4-1-4 and ninth, but their 8 goals for and 18.62 xGA show a side that has overachieved in points. Frosinone are 4-2-2 and sixth, yet their 13 goals against and 20.67 xGA suggest the defensive record has held up better than the chance data. The shot numbers sharpen that contrast. Cagliari are managing 4.1 shots on target per match, while Frosinone are at 6.1, which helps explain why the away side looks more dangerous in open play. Cagliari’s 8 goals from 11.71 xG show modest finishing underperformance, but the larger gap is on defense, where 13 conceded sits far below the xGA load. That is why a narrow away win fits the projected 2-1 score better than a comfortable home response.
Our Cagliari vs Frosinone prediction is Cagliari 1-2 Frosinone. We like Under 3.5 goals at any entry of -185 or better, because the scoring profile leans to a controlled total and Cagliari’s chance creation hasn’t matched its table position.
