In that game, Juventus managed 52% possession and 8 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. On the other side, Torino had 13 shots on goal with 2 on target.

In 5 of the previous six clashes involving Juventus, a relatively low number of goals have been hit between them and opposing sides. The overall average goals scored per game during that period comes out as a paltry 1.33, with the average goals for Juve being 0.83. That sort of trend might not be carried forward here, of course.

• are without a win away from home in their last 5 league games.

📰 Team News: Cagliari

Gaetano Oristanio (unknown injury), Andrea Petagna (Calf injury), Marco Mancosu (Knee surgery) and Leonardo Pavoletti (Ankle sprain) will be missing for Cagliari manager Claudio Ranieri.

It seems likely that Casteddu / Rossoblu may well kick off with a 3-5-2 formation for the game, beginning the first half with Simone Scuffet, Yerry Mina, Alberto Dossena, Adam Obert, Nahitan Nandez, Antoine Makoumbou, Alessandro Deiola, Ibrahim Sulemana, Tommaso Augello, Zito Luvumbo and Eldor Shomurodov.

📰 Team News: Juventus

Owing to an otherwise available group of players, there is only the sole fitness worry for the Juventus gaffer Massimiliano Allegri to contend with. Arkadiusz Milik (Adductor injury) won’t be in action.

We are inclined to think that Juve seem likely to elect for a 3-5-2 formation by sending out Mattia Perin, Federico Gatti, Gleison Bremer, Danilo, Andrea Cambiaso, Weston McKennie, Manuel Locatelli, Adrien Rabiot, Filip Kostic, Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Chiesa.

💭 Prediction

Here, we’re thinking that Cagliari will need to push hard to breach the defence of this Juventus side who we think will likely get the vital goal that wins it.

We’ve gone for a very competitive game with a 0-1 victory for Juventus at full-time.

Little in this one.
