Cagliari Calcio vs Juventus: Match Prediction
Despite the fact that the Sardinians have not been impressive in terms of results lately, at home it is reasonable to expect a bold attacking display from Fabio Pisacane’s side. All the more so given that Cagliari Calcio have regularly found the net on their own ground: in their previous 14 home Serie A matches, the team have failed to score only three times, and on five occasions they hit at least two goals. What is more, in 4 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings with the Turin club at home in the league, the club have breached the opposition defence.
Juventus have improved under Luciano Spalletti, but defensively the team still do not always operate flawlessly: in half of their previous 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 Calcio, over 0.5 goals
