⁠Juventus vs Cagliari Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Bianconeri are yet to concede a goal this season.

Juventus have made an encouraging start to the new season becoming one of the only two sides to remain unbeaten so far in the Serie A. The Bianconeri have the best defence in the league this campaign as they are yet to concede a goal across the six matches, which is an impressive statistic. 

This season remains a brilliant chance for Thiago Motta’s side to get their grips on the title after a fantastic start which also includes two back-to-back wins in the UEFA Champions League. Hopefully, this year they can start winning silverware again after a bright start to the season. 

Meanwhile, Cagliari haven’t enjoyed the best start to the new season. They are currently languishing in the 16th position in the standings gathering five points from the opening six games.

Davide Nicola’s side have struggled to score goals in these games which has caused them the points on the road. They have just won one game so far which came in the last game against promoted side Parma. However, they have done well in the Coppa Italia progressing to the last 16 after beating Cremonese in a narrow game.

Players to Watch

Dusan Vlahovic  (⁠Juventus)

The Serbian international is back to his brilliant best after a slow start to the season. Dusan Vlahovic has scored four goals in the last two games, scoring a back-to-back brace against Genoa and RB Leipzig in the midweek clash in the UEFA Champions League.

His two goals against the German team were a testament to his qualities, with the first one coming from a neat finish and the second with a world-class goal from outside the box. He remains the danger man in this game with the forward brimming with confidence for now. 

Roberto Piccoli (Cagliari)

The U21 Italy international has looked lively for his new team Cagliari this season scoring four goals already in eight matches. His season-long loan move from Atalanta so far is looking good for both parties as he is starting to show his true potential for them. He already looks like a good prospect for the future with him yet to reach his peak performance. Piccoli is a pacey striker who is excellent on the counter and can also convert chances clinically.
