Juventus will invite Cagliari to Allianz Stadium (Juventus Stadium) in Serie A on Saturday. The hosts have won five of their 12 league games, while Gli Isolani have suffered five defeats while recording two wins.
The Bianconeri are unbeaten in their last six games across all competitions. They were held to a 1-1 draw by Fiorentina in their previous league outing. They returned to winning ways after three consecutive draws on Tuesday, with a 3-2 away triumph over Bodo/Glimt in the UEFA Champions League. Loïs Openda and Weston McKennie added goals in quick succession in the second half, and substitute Jonathan David scored a stoppage-time winner.
Trending
The visitors are winless in all competitions since late September. They played out a second consecutive draw in Serie A last week, as they were held to a 3-3 stalemate by Genoa. Gennaro Borrelli bagged a brace, while Sebastiano Esposito added a goal in the 43rd minute.
Juventus vs Cagliari Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- The two teams have met 98 times in all competitions. As expected, the hosts have been the dominant side in these meetings, recording 51 wins. Gli Isolani have got the better of the Old Lady 15 times, and 32 games have ended in draws.
- The Bianconeri are unbeaten in their last nine games in this fixture and registered a 1-0 away win in February.
- Cagliari have conceded at least two goals in five of their last six league games.
- The Old Lady have enjoyed an unbeaten home record across all competitions this season, though five of the last six games have ended in draws.
- The visitors have scored one goal apiece in four of their last six meetings against the Old Lady.
Juventus vs Cagliari Prediction
The Bianconeri scored three goals in a match for the first time since September in their win over Bodo/Glimt last week and will look to continue that form here. They are unbeaten at home in this fixture since 2010 and are strong favorites.
Luciano Spalletti should welcome Federico Gatti back into the squad for this match. Daniele Rugani, Arkadiusz Milik, Bremer, and Carlo Pinsoglio remain sidelined with injuries. Dusan Vlahovic should get some minutes here after being an unused substitute against Bodo/Glimt.
Gli Isolani head into the match on an eight-game winless run, though four games in that period have ended in draws. They have failed to score in four of their last six away meetings against the Old Lady, which is a cause for concern.
Yerry Mina, Marko Rog, and Luca Mazzitelli have been left out of the squad due to injuries, while Andrea Belotti and Zé Pedro are also sidelined at the moment.
Considering the Old Lady's unbeaten home record this season and better defensive form than Cagliari, we back the hosts to register a comfortable win.
