Claudio Ranieri's Sampdoria travel to Sardinia on the back of a hard-fought Derby della Lanterna draw with city rivals Genoa, which leaves them ninth in Serie A.
The hosts, meanwhile, look to recover from blowing a lead to lose against Bologna last time out, as they aim for maximum points from Saturday afternoon's encounter at the Sardegna Arena.
We say: Cagliari 1-1 Sampdoria
These closely-matched clubs will not be separated easily, so a draw seems the most likely result in Sardinia.
The two sides can entrench their respective places in Serie A's mid-table, as they aim to continue largely positive starts to the Serie A season - both Ranieri and Di Francesco would probably be quite content with such an outcome.

Promoted sides Benevento and Spezia meet in Campania on Saturday, as a season of seeking Serie A salvation continues for both.
Pippo Inzaghi's Giallorossi welcome their Northern counterparts to Stadio Ciro Vigorito, sitting one point and three places above them in the race to avoid the trapdoor back into Serie B - with both desperate to take points from a direct rival.
We say: Benevento 2-2 Spezia
In all likelihood, there will be goals in this closely-fought contest, as neither side has proved their defensive credentials at this level yet.
The home side have offered a consistent forward threat by way of compensation but are in the midst of a terrible downturn in form since early October, so spirited Spezia can add another away point to their tally on Saturday evening.

Parma vs. Fiorentina (Saturday, 7.45pm)

Improving Parma take on Beppe Iachini's frustrating Fiorentina on Saturday evening, with La Viola currently in 11th place with seven points from six Serie A games, while the hosts are two points behind in 15th.
Rumours persist about the future of the visitors' coach as his inconsistent side aim to bounce back from defeat in Rome last week by picking up points at the Tardini.
We say: Parma 2-1 Fiorentina
Slowly building momentum after issues such as illness, injury and out-of-form forwards, Parma can capitalise on Fiorentina's recent woes.
An increasingly confused coach suffering under the expectations of both club president and impatient tifosi, Iachini could see his demise all but sealed if a revitalised Gervinho can tear into Fiorentina's makeshift back line.
