Cagliari Team News
Cagliari is 5 points above the relegation zone so all looks well, and they have a recent 1-0 win against Roma that you may have noticed while looking at the past results. Well that one was heavily influenced by the Roma red card, Cagliari would have never won it 11v11.
There was a time when Cagliari could look forward to visits from top sides as they could do something, but lately they haven't been able to perform to the same standard. This is a real relegation candidate that will end up in the relegation zone soon.
Juventus Team News
Juventus is still very far behind the true scudetto candidates, but they could be a team that's on the rise and that will join the conversation about the next Italian champion in a matter of weeks. Juventus did poorly in the first part of the season, and they're still paying the price for that, but form-wise they belong to the very top of Serie A.
Probable Lineups
Cagliari (4-2-3-1): Caprile - Zappa, Mina, Rodriguez, Obert - Adopo, Deiola - Palestra, Gaetano, Folorunsho - S.Esposito. Coach Pisacane.
Juventus (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio - Kalulu, Bremer, Koopmeiners, Cambiaso - Locatelli, Thuram - McKennie, Miretti, Yildiz - David. Coach Spalletti.
The Betting Market
Juventus is, of course, the favourite. You can get up to 1.53. Cagliari hasn't really done much at home all season so you can safely think of them as a true relegation candidate that won't be doing any giant killing any time soon. Unless there's a red card.
The bookmakers are fairly certain that Cagliari won't score as the price on Both Teams To Score: NO is 1.66 while the Under 2.5 Goals carries the price of 1.80.
The Betting Verdict
Cagliari can do a lot on a good day, but this won't be the day. Juventus is in a long winning streak not because of luck but because they've fixed some issues that were plaguing them earlier in the season, and now they can confidently travel to Cagliari to search for points. Juventus won't fall behind in the scudetto race because of this game. As a matter of fact, with a few more wins they can challenge Milan and Inter. They're 4 and 7 points behind, respectively.
