Cagliari - Juventus predictions and free betting tips [19/04/2024]

On Friday, the 19th of April, within the 33rd tour of Italian Serie A, "Cagliari" will host "Juventus". Claudio Ranieri's charges played a draw with "Inter" at the San Siro in the past weekend (2:2), while the Bianconeri failed to win the derby against "Torino" (0:0).

Predicted line-ups

"Cagliari": Scuffet; Zappa, Mina, Dossena; Nandez, Deiola, Makoumbou, Suleman, Augello; Luvumbo, Lapadula.
"Juventus": Perin; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Cambiasso, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Vlahovic, Chiesa.

Stadium

The match will take place in Cagliari at the Unipol Domus Stadium.

"Cagliari"

Having returned to the elite division last summer, "Cagliari" currently occupies the 14th place in Serie A standings and is 4 points from the relegation zone. Recently, Claudio Ranieri's team has become more consistent in results, which has led them to leave the underdog trio. Thus, in the last 8 rounds, "islanders" only conceded once, winning thrice and drawing four times. After defeating Atalanta in Bergamo with a score of 2:1, Cagliari managed to share points away with the leading Inter in the past weekend (2:2).

Milan twice took the lead courtesy of Thuram and Calhanoglu, and on both occasions, the red-blues retaliated thanks to Shomurodov and Viola. This Friday, hosts will try to extend their home undefeated streak to five games in a row (8 points out of 12 possible). After the duel with Juve, "islanders" are expected to face "Milan" and "Fiorentina", however, no more top opponents are foreseen at the end of the season. 

"Juventus"

Occupying the 3rd place in Serie A standings with one game in hand and leading the 5th-placed "Roma" by 8 points, Juventus has a good chance of returning to the Champions League. This season "la vecchia signora" was head-to-head with "Inter" and fought for the Scudetto, but clearly messed up the second half of the championship. Thus, bianconeri won just two of their last 11 matches, drawing 5 and losing 4 times. After a victory over Fiorentina with a score of 1:0, in the past weekend the stripes drew 0:0 with "Torino".

It is important to note that the Turin grand hasn't won away since the 21st of January, when it thrashed "Lecce" with a score of 3:0, having lost three out of the previous five matches away; in terms of points gained away, Juve ranks third overall (28 points in 16 away matches, 22 goals scored, 14 conceded). In the Coppa Italia, Max Allegri's charges won the first leg of the semi-final against Lazio (2:0). Juventus still has to cope with the absence of injured forward Arkadiusz Milik. 

Head-to-head encounters

In the first round, "Cagliari" lost to "Juventus" with a score of 2:1. Moreover, the Turin team defeated the "Islanders" in the five latest direct matches.

Match prediction "Cagliari" - "Juventus"

Having failed to win in the last 5 away matches, "Juventus" goes to Cagliari to Claudio Ranieri's charges, who haven't lost any of their last 4 games. The hosts haven't secured a comfortable gap from the relegation zone yet, motivated by the fight for survival, while the Turin themselves effectively have no tasks left in the remaining championship rounds (Inter cannot be caught up, the place in the top three is also secured). I bet that the "Islanders" will at least not lose this Friday (handicap 1).

Total prediction

"Juve" has not conceded a single goal in the last three matches, while the hosts will not force the pace of the game and will be content with zeros on the scoreboard. I bet on the total number of goals under 2.5.

Corner prediction

"Cagliari" is motivated by the fight for survival and will at least occasionally threaten the opponent's goal with dangerous approaches. I expect at least four corners served by the red-blues.

Yellow card prediction

In none of the last four head-to-head matches between these teams did the referee show more than four yellow cards - it will be the same this time.

Score prediction

I'll bet on the exact score 0:0.
