Cagliari vs Juventus — Tips & Analysis

Juventus -0.75: Juventus own this game, and that is the simplest reason to back them. They have won 15 of the last 20 meetings with Cagliari, and they bring the better defence. Juventus let in under a goal a game and have lost only 2 of their last 13. Cagliari make games small. Their games have 2 goals in them on average, and they have not won by 2 or more in any of their last 16. They score 1 goal a game and let in 1. That points to a quiet, tight night rather than an open one, and a tight game suits the better team. The catch is the Juventus team sheet. Yildiz, Thuram, Locatelli and Milik are all out, so most of the first choice attack is missing. Goalkeeper Grabara is out too. A 0-1 Juventus win is the honest read, decided by one goal from whoever steps in. Cagliari are no pushovers. They sit 4th on 12 points from 5 games, two points above Juventus. Their tight home games also tend to break one way or the other. If this one breaks their way, the pick is gone. We still think Juventus have enough in them to take it.
