The Italian top flight action continues on Saturday evening with this upcoming clash between relegation threatened Cagliari and high-flying Juventus when the two teams meet at the Unipol Domus ground with both teams seeking important points to boost their respective campaigns.
Cagliari are currently perched just above the relegation zone in Serie A and possess a three-point buffer above third from bottom club, Venezia, but a recent run of four league defeats on the trot has somewhat muddied the waters in terms of their bid to avoid relegation.
Losses against Lazio, Spezia, AC Milan and Udinese have meant that Cagliari are still well and truly in the thick of this relegation dogfight down near the foot of the Serie A table and their prospects are likely to come under further threats by the visit of Juventus on Saturday.
In addition, Cagliari have managed to win just one of their last 10 matches on home soil at their Unipol Domus which came in the form of a 2-1 home win over Bologna but this solitary success has been overshadowed by five defeats within this period.
Juventus slipped to a 1-0 defeat at home to 3rd placed Inter Milan upon their return to the bread and butter of Serie A football following the international break and this loss ended an impressive 16-match unbeaten sequence in the Italian top flight.
11 wins within these 16 matches have helped Juventus into the top four places of Serie A where they hold a useful five-point cushion above 5th placed Roma.
The visitors know that they can ill afford another defeat here this Saturday if they’re to hold onto their current 4th place in the standings.
Form and results away from home though have certainly been solid in recent times as the Old Lady are unbeaten in their last nine outings on the road which also includes six wins along with scoring 2 goals or more in six of these away matches as well.
Juventus also possess a strong head to head record against their hosts as the visitors have won 10 out of the previous 11 meetings and with impressive momentum behind them on their travels, Juventus look the more likely for the three points in this Saturday’s encounter.
