Cagliari v Fiorentina
Thursday 23 May, 19:45 kick-off
Live on TNT Sports 2

Claudio Ranieri's last act in football was to keep Cagliari in Serie A thanks to last week's win, now he'll hope to sign off with one final victory over Fiorentina.

Fiorentina still have a couple of games to play as they look to guarantee European football next season, so they'll hope to spoil the party in Sardinia

But who and how? Let's look at today's Bet Builder....

Leg 1: Both teams to score

15 of Cagliari's last 16 home games have seen both teams find the net, along with Fiorentina's last seven games in a row so we've got plenty of form to go at.

Cagliari actually top the Serie A standings this particular stat, so we'll back both teams to score here at 6/101.60.

And with larely the pressure off the football should be flowing from both of them.

Leg 2: Nicolas Gonzalez 2+ shots on target

Fiorentina's top marksman, Nicolas Gonzalez has had a whopping 80 shots in Serie A this season - with 30 of them hitting the target.

He's had multiple shots on target in four of his last six and also scored against Cagliari in the reverse fixture, so will be the key man for La Viola.

You can back Gonzalez to have 2+ shots on target at 13/102.30.

Leg 3: Cristiano Biraghi 2+ fouls

Cristiano Biraghi leads Fiorentina in the foul charts and he's had 16 games with multiple fouls in, so he's the best option for a fouls portion of this Bet Builder.

Biraghi is 13/102.30 for 2+ fouls here as well in an away game that will have a lively partisan atmosphere after Cagliari secured their survival.
