Cagliari & Juventus meet on Match-day 32

Saturday at Unipol Domus, as Cagliari host Juve in the Serie A.

Champion’s League hopefuls Juve, travel to Cagliari on Saturday, as fourth takes on seventeenth in the League.

Cagliari have 25 points to their name, going into this tie

Whilst Cagliari need a positive result from this fixture, they cannot afford to throw caution to the wind. Another successive defeat for The Islanders after losing against Udinese and AC Milan would represent a worrying sign of where they are just now.

Also, with an unfortunate Cagliari that has not managed to win in their last League so far, Walter Mazzarri’s men form is worryingly poor. The Islanders should solve their trend if they don’t want to occupy the lasts places in the League Table. Their position is seventeenth in the League and they have 25 points, that is, 5W, 16L and 10D having won five meetings, drawn 10 fixtures, and lost 16 games.

When Cagliari host Juve, they will do so on the back of two victories, six draws, and seven defeats on their own ground.

Cagliari will have 28 points if they manage to secure a victory.

Cagliari are no strangers this season to illness and injury and Walter Mazzarri is concerned that Saturday’s fixture could see him without four of his key players.

Juventus go into this match with 59 points secured

Juve suffered a home loss to Internazionale in their last outing, they will doubtless be keen get a positive outcome in this fixture.

Also, Juve keep finding ways to win, having secured 13 victories in their last 20 fixtures is astonishing this season, which has contributed significantly to their rise up the table. With a fourth position in the league and 17 wins, 6 losses and 8 draws, they currently have 59 points in the League having won 17 meetings, drawn eight games, and lost six fixtures.

Juve’s away record is remarkable and poses a significant threat to Cagliari. In the 15 games they’ve played on the road this season, they have so far won eight matches, drawn five games, and lost two fixtures.

Winning this fixture will see Juventus on 62 points.

Good atacking and defensive team

So far, Juve’s defence has been outstanding, as they have conceded 27 goals. Juve have a good scoring record this season, with 47 netted so far (46 from open play and one penalty). This season, their stand-out attacking players have been Dusan Vlahovic (4), Alvaro Morata (3), and Paulo Dybala (2).

Juve’s squad has depth, but even so, Massimiliano Allegri is likely to be missing seven of they key players when they start Saturday’s game.
