Juventus vs Cagliari Calcio Preview
Juventus
Juventus have drawn five times in their last six outings in all competitions. Their only win came against an out-of-form Manchester City, a 2-0 home victory last Wednesday.
Our expert soccer predictions show a significant lack of balance in the Juventus squad. Thiago Motta’s changes to the Old Lady have seen a shift toward a more possession-based and expressive type of football. However, the teething problems mean that the shape of the team leaves them exposed to transition attacks.
In the latest example, Juventus threw away a 2-0 lead at the Allianz Stadium to draw 2-2 at home to Venezia in a Serie A clash. Motta must be hoping his side will have more composure when they take on Cagliari in the Coppa Italia round of 16 on Tuesday.
Cagliari Calcio
Cagliari’s core weakness this season has been their inability to keep clean sheets. In 16 games, they conceded 26 goals, among the highest in Serie A. Coupled with just 15 goals scored, they’re fighting relegation.
Their core weaknesses can be summarized in their last two matches, which were all 1-0 defeats. First, they lost 1-0 away to Fiorentina before falling 0-1 at home to Atalanta.
Although the two defeats came against in-form sides, the Islanders showed fight that made them difficult to play against. Our football predictions indicate that Cagliari will look to retain their shape, compactness, and aggression when they visit the Allianz Stadium on Tuesday.

- Pick: Juventus to Win
- Odds: 1.45 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Juventus 3-1 Cagliari Calcio
Both Juventus and Cagliari are in the middle of an indifferent run of form domestically. While Thiago Motta’s Juventus are unbeaten in their last five, they’ve won once and drawn four times in this run.
Cagliari’s form has been equally poor in the last five matches and the season overall. They’ve only won 3, drawn 5, and lost 8 in their 16 outings. In their last five, they drew twice, won once, and lost two times, leaving them sitting inside the relegation zone.
Juventus will be without Bremer, Juan Cabal, Arkadiusz Milik, and Jonas Rouhi. However, their leading players this season will be available for selection in Tuesday’s match against the Cagliari.
A fully fit squad will boost Cagliari’s performance against the Old Lady at Allianz Stadium.
Football bet predictions on 22Bet show that Juventus is the favorite to win the match, as they will play at home against an out-of-form Cagliari side.
Juventus vs Cagliari Calcio Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Juventus to Win Both Halves
- Odds: 3.45 (22Bet)
Juventus are unbeaten at the Allianz Stadium this season. When paired with Cagliari’s away form, which comprises 1 win, 2 draws, and 4 losses, this form makes the home side heavy favorites to win this match.
The Juve have scored 26 goals this season, showing that their attack is averagely good, compared to the Cagliari’s 15 goals all season. Key player Vlahović, in fine goalscoring form in recent matches, will give the home side the edge they need in Tuesday’s clash.
Football prediction analysis indicates that Juventus’ possession-based 4-2-3-1 formation makes them the heavy favorites to win both halves, eventually win this round-of-16 clash, and ensure progression in the Coppa Italia.
