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.
