Juventus - Cagliari predictions

Juventus are seen as favourites to win this match against Cagliari. The betting odds indicate an easy win and anything but a home victory here would indeed be a big surprise.

If betting odds are anything to go on – and they are - Cagliari will likely get overrun by their opponents with little hope of winning. Considering how one-sided this matchup is, they may want to cut their losses and focus their energy elsewhere.

Juventus supporters had a lot of hope for their previous matchup due to favourable betting odds in an away game. The squad even took the lead initially but ended up dropping it and having to settle for a draw and a single point towards their Serie A campaign.

Cagliari are coming off of a minor success, relatively speaking. They secured a 3:3 draw against Genoa, who were tagged as hard favourites going in, but never managed to pull ahead.

Our confidence in Cagliari and, more specifically, their defenses, is shaky at best. After more than 5 concessions in three consecutive home games, most bookies and pundits see them as unreliable.

The start of the season has not exactly been ideal for Juve so far. Currently in 7th place at the table, there’s a long road ahead of them if they want to end the season on a high note. Admittedly, though, they’ll have plenty of chances to move up, starting with their clash with Cagliari.

The opening stages of the season brought Cagliari to the lower end of the table. Their supporters can’t be too happy seeing them placed at number 14th – especially not with this challenging matchup coming up. They’ll have to use the rest of the season wisely if they want to see any success in this campaign.

Looking back at the recent history of clashes between these two teams, the most notable example is a sound defeat Cagliari suffered last season. Partly thanks to the considerable goal difference Juve secured in that match, they’re considered favourites to win the match on Saturday.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

Going for a straight Result bet would severely limit your profits, so our advice is to throw in a -1.5 Asian Handicap for the favourites. This will still keep the odds in your favour at 1, but should do wonders for potential profitability.
