Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips

Rejuvenated Juventus, seen as potential dark horses in the Scudetto race, visit struggling Cagliari on Saturday. The Bianconeri have won five of their last six matches, building momentum in Serie A. They must secure maximum points in Sardinia to keep pressure on the top three.

Team Analysis:
Juventus continued their mid-season revival with a dominant 5-0 win over Cremonese, keeping five clean sheets in their last seven games. They aim to extend a three-match road winning streak against Cagliari, having already beaten them 2-1 in the reverse fixture. Cagliari, winless in nine league meetings with Juve and struggling near the relegation zone, face a tough task at home.

Player Situation:
Juventus could be without top scorer Kenan Yildiz due to flu, with Francisco Conceicao on standby, while Dusan Vlahovic and Daniele Rugani remain sidelined. Jonathan David is expected to lead Juve’s attack, with Federico Gatti returning to the squad. Cagliari may adjust their forward line, with Semih Kilicsoy and Gennaro Borrelli competing up front, while several key players, including Yerry Mina, remain unavailable or doubtful.

Result Prediction:
Juventus are in excellent form and look set to overcome a limited Cagliari side. Their strong defense should secure another clean sheet. The Bianconeri are expected to return to Turin with all three points.

Predicted Result: Cagliari 0-2 Juventus.
