Juventus vs Cagliari Preview
- Tournament: Serie A
- Date: Sunday, Oct 6
- Kick-off Time: 11:30 am GMT
- Venue: Allianz Stadium, Italy
Juventus will play host to relegation-threatened Cagliari in their seventh clash of the 2024/25 Serie A season at Allianz Stadium. The Old Lady have caught themselves in a series of draws since the start of the season and will be aiming to overtake Napoli in the league standings.
Hosts Juventus find themselves sitting comfortably in the second position and are yet to sustain a defeat this season. Thiago Motta’s side are coming off a 3-2 away win over RB Leipzig in the Champions League and have maintained their unbeaten run in the European competition. Their ongoing momentum positions them as the frontrunners to take command of this tie.
Meanwhile, Cagliari were relieved after they secured their first win of the campaign in a 3-2 win against Parma in their last game. They sit just a point above the relegation zone and have found the net just four times in Serie A so far.
Juventus Team News
The hosts would be without the services of Arkadiusz Milik and Timothy Weah who are yet to return to the first-team setup. Francisco Conceicao recovered from this thigh problem and will be available for this tie. Juventus star defender Bremer will undergo surgery after sustaining a cruciate ligament injury earlier this week and could be out for several months.
Cagliari Team News
As for Cagliari, Mateusz Wieteska and midfielder Matteo Prati are the possible absentees in Davide Nicola’s squad. Leonardo Pavoletti remains out with a foot bruise whereas striker Gianluca Lapadula has suffered an abdominal injury and has also been ruled out from Peru’s squad for upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

Juventus vs Cagliari Prediction
The hosts are entering this game on the back of a 3-2 over RB Leipzig in the last game and must be high on confidence following their 3-0 win over Genoa last weekend. Juventus are unbeaten since the start of this campaign and have been impressive at the back under new manager Thiago Motta.
As for Cagliari, they have had a disastrous start to their Serie A campaign and are languishing just above the relegation zone. The Sardinians are winless in their last seven games in Turin and will be an extremely tough challenge to overcome the Turin giants.
