Torino vs Cagliari Preview
Torino
Torino, who’ve often existed under the shadow of their bigger rivals Juventus, know they have to take matters into their own hands against Cagliari on Friday. Ranked 11th with 23 points, they have a good chance of making it to the upper half.
For that to happen, they need to start keeping the ball more and not giving it away whenever they’re under pressure. Their players are made to go through their paces in training and forced to work on their turning and passing skills.
Ali Dembele is suspended and Zapata, Ilic, and Schuurs, among others, are ruled out with injuries. They will face the uphill task of pleasing their supporters in this game.
Cagliari
Cagliari have a tough task of competing against Torino, but they’re a spirited side who don’t give up easily. They currently rank 14th on the league table with 21 points. The squad are well aware that if they continue dropping points regularly, they could fall down into the relegation zone and face a battle to remain in the Serie A.
However, Cagliari, who have won five out of their 21 league matches this season, have a negative goal difference of -11. It means their defenders have not been up to the mark. This is a fact Torino can exploit to the fullest in this encounter.
Defenders Luperto and Mina have to be on top of this game and not allow the opposition strikers to roam freely in the attacking third and pounce on chances.
Bet hereTorino vs Cagliari Prediction
- Pick: Torino to win or draw
- Odds: 1.303 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Torino 1-1 Cagliari
We expect the home squad to either win or draw this weekend since they have a slight advantage over their opponents. There have been a total of 21 games recorded between these two teams in the past, out of which Torino have won or drawn 14. This clearly gives them the historical upper hand
However, it’s important to note that Cagliari beat their rivals 3-2 in the reverse fixture played earlier this season. Nonetheless, one must not forget that the hosts are now playing at home, where they have won or drawn 10 out of the 13 encounters played against them.
The last time they lost at home to Cagliari was in 2022.
Torino vs Cagliari Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 1.5 goals
- Odds: 1.4 (22Bet)
A total of over 1.5 goals are expected in this encounter. We don’t think it will be a very high-scoring event since both these teams like to put more emphasis on their defence rather than going forward. This will result in both sides being a tad cagey at the beginning and pouncing on chances later on in the match.
A total of over 1.5 goals was seen in four out of the last five clashes between these rivals; hence, a similar result is expected on Friday. Torino have scored over 1.5 goals in four out of their last five games, while Cagliari have done so in all their last five encounters.
