The risk that Cagliari and Genoa, already relegated to Serie B, will keep company with Cagliari is more and more concrete after the game lost yesterday with Inter 3 to 1 at the Domus ( HERE THE CHRONICLE ).

The accounts are soon done : the rossoblù can now make the race only on the Salernitana. The Campania players are at +2 and on the last day of the championship they play at home with Udinese.

Cagliari can only be saved under two conditions : they must absolutely win in Venice (Sunday 22 May). And hope that Salernitana does not win with Udinese. In case of equal points (success of Agostini's men in the lagoon and equal of Nicola all'Arechi's team) the best goal difference of the rossoblùs would be rewarded.

The two teams are equal in head-to-head matches both in terms of results and number of goals: one to one in Sardinia, the same as last week in Salerno. And at that point another criterion must be used: networks. Cagliari scored 34 goals, half of those conceded, 68. So it's minus 34. Salernitana has instead scored 33 goals and conceded 74: it's minus 41.

Furthermore, the two games will be played at the same time: Cagliari cannot limit itself to making its own (and that is to say winning), but must wait for good news from Campania.

Agostini and captain Joao Pedro yesterday guaranteed that they will try to the last and will do everything to overcome the big obstacle, even if the fans are not optimistic.
