Cagliari vs Juventus: Match Prediction
Despite the fact that the Sardinians have not looked convincing at all in terms of results lately, at home it is reasonable to expect Fabio Pisacane’s side to play boldly in attack. All the more so because Cagliari have previously scored regularly on their own ground: in their last 14 home matches in Serie A, the team have failed to score only three times, while on five occasions they found the net at least twice. In addition, in 4 of the last 5 home head-to-head meetings with the Turin side in the league, the club managed to break down the opposition defence.
Juventus have improved under Luciano Spalletti, but defensively the team still do not always act flawlessly: in half of their last six away Serie A matches, the club conceded. And overall, on the road, the Turin side regularly allow opponents to score: Juventus have failed to keep a clean sheet in 12 of their last 16 away Serie A fixtures.
Prediction: Cagliari, over 0.5 goals
