Cagliari vs Torino Prediction & Betting Tips (20 October)

Threatened by the descent until the last day during the previous exercise, Cagliari aims for nothing other than maintaining this season. The Sardinians now occupy 16th place in Serie A with 6 points taken in 7 matches. Unable to win during the first 5 days, 2 draws and 3 defeats, they have reassured fans a little since then. Indeed, Cagliari scored a precious success at the promoted Parma 2-3 before taking a good point in the den of Juventus just before the international break 1-1. Accustomed to finishing just behind the European folding seats, Torino hopes this time achieving a continental qualification.

Now under the leadership of Paolo Vanoli, the Piedmontese team launched their championship perfectly by not losing any of their first 5 matches, 3 wins and 2 draws. Unfortunately, Samuele Ricci's teammates have let points slip away since then. Beaten at home by Lazio 2-3, they then lost at Inter 3-2. Torino is now 7th in Serie A and is 2 points behind the Top 4.

The Cagliari coach still cannot count on the replacement defender Wieteska (ex-Clermont), the Czech piston used sparingly Jankto as well as the important attackers Pavoletti and Lapadula. Added to this are the uncertainties weighing on the participation of the usual holders Obert (defender) and Makoumbou (midfielder). On the attacking front should take place the summer recruit Piccoli (2 goals in SA). Victim of a ruptured cruciate ligaments, the attacker Duvan Zapata is on the flank for the coming months. Torino must also do without potentially starting defender Schuurs, promising Turkish midfielder Ilkhan and replacements Savva, Ciammaglichella and Njie, all injured.

Finally, experienced defender Maripan is suspended. The offensive duo should consist of Sanabria (1 goal in SA) and Adams (3 goals and 1 assist in SA). Italian international Ricci is also available, as is playmaker Vlasic (1 goal and 1 assist in 2 SA matches).
