CAGLIARI v JUVENTUS PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

This match looks like providing one of the away bankers of the weekend as it brings together a home side that strggling at the bottom end of the table and the league leaders. Cagliari have won just four of 17 league matches played this season to date. Nine defeats have not been totally offset by the same number of loses and draws. Juventus won the league in Italy last season without losing a mach. They have not been able to maintain that form this season but they are still currently seven points ahead of their nearest rivals in the standings. Juventus are now 15 places and 25 points ahead of their opponents at the weekend. They have lost just twice this season and look like winning the title in Italy again this year. Matches involving these sides have averaged slightly more than 2.5 goals per game with the same average when respective home and away matches are considered.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Cagliari’s decent run of form came to an end at Fiorentina, a match they lost by three clear goals after seeing just 44% of the ball. That was followed by a goalless draw at home against Catania, failing to score despite having 56% of the ball. Only Marco Sue has scored four goals for Cagliari this season, a side that are on a run of six matches without a win. The Juventus manager appears to be getting the balance right with regards his striking options. Juventus have led the Serie A standings all season and are second top scorers in the league with 36 goals from 17 games. Andrea Pirlo is the playmaker in midfield and he was highly effective playing for Italy in Euro 2012, especially against England. The Juventus back line coped with Chelsea’s threat in the Champions League and they should be similarly at ease against in this match.

CAGLIARI v JUVENTUS PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Sometimes there is nothing to be gained in ignoring the obvious and this match is such a case. Juventus have lost just two matches since the start of last season, though they were in the biggest matches of the season against the two Milan sides. Since losing to Inter Juventus have got their season back on track and have won their last three matches. Other sides have slipped up and that has helped Juventus establish a significant point’s gap at the top of the table. Cagliari have lost their last four matches and are the only side in Serie A without a win in six fixtures. The odds are restrictive but there is nothing to suggest that Juventus will not win this match with ease.

CAGLIARI v JUVENTUS PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

With an away win anticipated the issue with regarding the Asian Handicap markets is the margin of victory. Juventus are averaging more than two goals per game in away matches and Cagliari are below average in terms of the quality of the opposition. Juventus have conceded just five goals in eight away matches which suggests Cagliari will struggle to score. That side have scored just seven goals at home this season and those facts all suggest Juventus can win this match by more than one goal. It is rare for an away side to cover a handicap of two goals but in this case the difference in ability suggests Juventus can do just that.

CAGLIARI v JUVENTUS PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

Juventus are expected to win this match by two goals or more which means there are two chances for the final tally of goals to exceed two. Juventus could score three times or Cagliari could score a consolation goal. The latter scenario is least likely as Juventus have conceded ten goals in the league all season. However, they have the creativity in midfield to create plenty of scoring opportunities and can convert at least two which means there should be at least three goals in this match.

188Bet quote 1.85 for over 2.5 goals.
