The end of the Serie A season is slightly fractured due to Atalanta's participation in the Europa League Final on Wednesday and Fiorentina's participation in the Europa Conference Final a week later.
It means that on Thursday, Cagliari will play their final game of the campaign before anyone else against Fiorentina, while the Viola still have two games remaining including this one as they face Atalanta next week.
Cagliari are currently down in 15th, three points clear of the bottom three. Fiorentina, meanwhile, have nearly secured qualification for the Europa Conference playoff stage.
Cagliari current form
Cagliari's recent form has been up and down but last weekend they earned a massive three points by defeating Sassuolo 2-0 away from home.
Prior to that, they went five games without a win with two losses versus Milan and Genoa and three draws against Inter, Juventus and Lecce.
They have conceded 65 goals in 37 games this campaign.
Fiorentina current form
Fiorentina's recent form has been decent in Serie A as in their past five matches they have won three versus Salernitana, Sassuolo and Monza, lost against Verona and drawn against Napoli.
Despite being in eight, they have the fifth best attacking record in the league with 55 goals scored in 36 games.
