Serie A Preview: Juventus Aims for Three Points at Home Against Cagliari with a Winning Streak

On October 6th, 18:30, the 7th round of Serie A, Juventus vs. Cagliari.

With a Champions League fixture this week, Juventus played with ten men and was trailing 1-2 but eventually overturned the situation to win 3-2 away against Leipzig. In this match, Juventus demonstrated remarkable resilience, with their main center-back Bremer suffering a severe knee injury in the early minutes of the game, and goalkeeper Di Gregorio being sent off with half an hour remaining in the game.

After winning two consecutive away games, Juventus will return to Turin on Sunday to face Serie A underdog Cagliari at home. Last weekend, Juventus won 3-0 away against Genoa, continuing their undefeated streak in the league this season, though it was only their first victory in four rounds. On the other hand, Cagliari defeated Parma 3-2 away last weekend, ending a three-game losing streak and six rounds without a win.

Including the 3-0 win over Genoa last week, Juventus has kept a clean sheet in all six Serie A matches this season, setting a new team record. Only three teams in Serie A history have maintained a clean sheet in the first seven games, with AC Milan being the most recent in the 1993/94 season.

Juventus has beaten Cagliari seven times consecutively at home, keeping five clean sheets during this period. They hope to continue this form on Sunday and head into the international break with a strong performance. The last time Juventus lost to Cagliari at home was on January 31, 2009, when they were defeated 2-3. However, in their most recent encounter with Cagliari in April this year, Juventus once trailed 0-2 but managed to draw 2-2 away after scoring two late goals.

Regarding injuries and suspensions, Juventus’ center-back Bremer suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in the Champions League victory against Leipzig and will be out for several months. As a result, Gatti is expected to partner with Kalulu, while Conceicao may replace Nico Gonzalez, who was substituted due to an injury in the last game. Additionally, Milik opted for surgery on his long-term knee injury, but Little Weah may return to the squad after recovering from an ankle injury. Due to the lack of a direct replacement, Vlahovic will start again. He has scored six goals in nine league matches against Cagliari, including two direct free-kicks.

As for the visiting team Cagliari, they will be without Vietetska again, while forwards Pavonetti and Lapadula are major doubts.
