Juventus enter the weekend hoping their strong European win can restore confidence in Serie A. Their midweek 3-2 success over Bodø/Glimt offered a timely lift after a 1-1 draw with Fiorentina.
Juventus remain unbeaten in the league under Luciano Spalletti, with one win and two draws. This record shows stability, yet those early dropped points increased the gap to the leading teams.

Juventus created many chances on Tuesday and produced an impressive 16 shots on target. Spalletti will want a similar attacking display to end a stretch of five draws in six competitive home games.
A strong approach could help them rediscover consistency and keep them close to the title challengers. Recent history also favours Juventus. They are unbeaten in their last nine meetings with Cagliari, earning seven wins and two draws. Cagliari last won in Turin in 2009 and have lost eight of the previous nine away encounters.
Dušan Vlahović enjoys this fixture and has already scored nine career goals against Cagliari. He netted in four straight personal meetings and opened the scoring in three of the last ones.
Cagliari Seek Stability While Fighting a Long Winless Run
Cagliari arrive without a league win since late September. Their 3-3 draw with Genoa brought three goals but only one point. That result extended their winless run to eight matches, with four draws and four losses.

Fabio Pisacane’s side recently halted a losing streak through consecutive draws, including a goalless result at Como. Cagliari rarely earn points against top-half teams and remain winless in seven such matches this season.
However, three draws in their last four away games show improved defensive focus. Cagliari also struggle for goals in tough fixtures, failing to score in five of seven league matches against top-half opponents.
Many of their away games produced fewer than three goals, highlighting a cautious approach on the road. Their main threat is Gennaro Borrelli, who scored twice against Genoa and remains dangerous early in matches.
Juventus report no new injuries, while Cagliari might miss Alessandro Deiola after his recent withdrawal.
