Juventus vs Cagliari Prediction & Betting Tips (17 December)

Last week, Juventus probably carried out an operation that will revive their season by beating Manchester City in a crazy atmosphere at home in the league stage of the UEFA Champions League 2-0. A result which is good for the morale of Thiago Motta's men who have been suffering in recent weeks, notably with three consecutive points shared in SA against Bologna 2-2, on the Lecce meadow 1-1, and without a visit in the clash with AC Milan 0-0. Last weekend, for the reception of the promoted Venezia in the championship, the Old Lady tried to stay in a good dynamic to follow. This is not the first appearance of Cagliari in the competition since it had to play a 1/16th final against Cremonese, and won it by the smallest of margins in football 1-0.

Sufficient result to access this round but the draw is not very lenient. In the league, before its big match against Bergamo, leader of the SA last weekend to follow, Cagliari had only won three of its last ten matches in the elite but above all a record of four defeats conceded against the Udinese 2-0, for the coming of Bologna 0-2, on the side of Lazio 2-1 and on the pitch of Fiorentina 1-0, three losses on the road all the same.

For this poster, the Brazilians Melo and the important center Bremer will remain in the infirmary like Cabal, the Argentine winger Gonzalez (ex-Fiorentina), and the former OM striker Milik. This means that the Tricolores Thuram and Kalulu will be at Thiago Motta's disposal for this part, just like the scorer Vlahovic (scorer against City), or the crack Yildiz (3 goals, 2 PD in SA). For its part, Cagliari will probably have to cope without the injured Peruvian international Lapadula.

This is ultimately the only major absence to be noted within this team which will include in its ranks boys like the Colombian international Yerry Mina, the Romanian international Marin (3 goals in SA), without forgetting the Frenchman on loan from Bergamo Adopo , or the midfielder Gaetano (on loan from Naples), and Pavoletti (4 goals last season).
