Fiorentina celebrated a victory in their Serie A Week 15 match on Sunday, December 8, 2024, at the Artemio Franchi Stadium in Florence, Italy. This win marks an exciting moment for the team, as they have achieved their eighth consecutive victory in the league. It’s a remarkable feat for the Tuscans since the introduction of three points for a win in the 1994/95 season.

Palladino’s squad is having an outstanding season, currently tied with Inter at 31 points. They secured the three points against Cagliari with a first-half goal from Danilo Cataldi, keeping pace with the successes of Atalanta and Inter and staying close to the top of the standings.

Among the teams that have faced each other at least 25 times at home in Serie A, Cagliari has the highest percentage of home losses against Fiorentina. The Viola securing 29 wins out of 42 encounters. Cagliari is riding a wave of good form, having earned five points from their last three matches against Milan, Genoa, and Hellas Verona. Currently, the Sardinians sit three points clear of the relegation zone, with Lecce and Hellas Verona standing between them and Como, who are in the third-last spot.

Fiorentina bounce back after their recent exit from the Coppa Italia against Empoli, which ended in a penalty shootout during the round of 16. Palladino’s squad is eager to extend their current streak of seven consecutive league victories, not counting the match against Inter, which is scheduled to be played in 2025.

In the 24th minute, Fiorentina opened the scoring when Danilo Cataldi found the back of the net with a right-footed shot aimed at the top right corner. Lucas Beltrán provided the assist. Adli showcased some impressive individual skill, finishing with his left foot, which deflected off a defender and bounced between Beltrán’s legs. The Argentine then set up Cataldi, who struck the ball first time from the edge of the box, sending it into the net just inside the right post.

✅ Stats before the game:

Fiorentina has not lost in their last seven Serie A encounters with Cagliari, boasting four wins and three draws. They’ve netted three goals in three of their last four matchups.

Among teams that Fiorentina has faced at least 25 times at home in Serie A, Cagliari stands out as the opponent with the highest home win percentage for Fiorentina, sitting at 69% with 29 victories out of 42 matches (along with eight draws and five losses).

Fiorentina is currently enjoying a fantastic streak with seven straight wins in Serie A, and they have the chance to match their all-time record of eight consecutive victories, which was set between February and April 1960 under the management of Luis Carniglia. On the other hand, Cagliari has accumulated 14 points in this season, which is four points more than they had at the same stage last year.

The last time the Rossoblu had more points after 15 matches in the top division was during the 2019/20 season when they finished with 29 points. So far, Fiorentina has gathered 28 points, and a victory would allow them to break the 30-point barrier after 14 matches for the first time since the three-point win system was introduced. Notably, Cagliari (10) and Fiorentina (eight) lead the league in points earned from goals scored after the 70th minute.

Player Stats

Moise Kean has the chance to become the third player from Fiorentina to score ten or more goals in the first 14 matches of a Serie A season during the three-point era, following in the footsteps of Luca Toni (2005/06) and Giuseppe Rossi (2013/14).

Roberto Piccoli holds the record for scoring against the most different teams in Serie A without netting more than once against any single opponent (17). This record might change soon, as the Cagliari forward has already found the net against Fiorentina in their last encounter on February 2 while playing for Lecce.
