The reverse fixture had ended 2-1 in favour of the Bianconeri

After 32 Serie A games, Cagliari find themselves 4 points above the relegation zone. Just last season they were competing in the Serie B and wouldn’t want to drop back to that division without a fight. In the last three league games, the Gli Isolani are undefeated and have also earned a point against runaway league leaders Inter Milan. The game against Inter ended 2-2.

There is no way on earth that Juventus can win the Italian first-tier league title this season. With six games to play, the Bianconeri are 20 points below the runaway leaders, Inter Milan. After this league fixture, Massimiliano Allegri’s men will shift focus to the second leg of the semi-finals in Coppa Italia. In the first leg, they managed to win 2-0 against Lazio.

Players to Watch

Eldor Shomurodov (Cagliari)

In the game against Inter, we saw Eldor Shomurodov score one goal. Shomurodov also troubled opposition goalkeeper Yann Sommer more than just that. The forward with the number 61 on his back is on loan from AS Roma for the season and has so far scored 3 league goals with 3 assists on top.

Dusan Vlahovic (Juventus)

In the reverse fixture win of 2-1, both Juventus goals had come from defenders. In this game, Allegri will want a forward to do his job instead of relying on other position players. It has been 2 games in a row, Dušan Vlahović has failed to score if we include his goal against Biancocelesti in Coppa Italia. Vlahović being second in the top scorer chart with 15 goals just might strike in this one.

Injury & Team News

The hosts will have to do without the services of Leonardo Pavoletti and Marco Mancosu. Pavoletti is recovering from a foot injury while Mancosu is trying to be back from a knee injury. A muscle injury keeps Andrea Petagna in the doubtful category for this game. Head coach Claudio Ranieri should keep the lineup the same that produced a 2-2 result against Inter Milan.

The visiting side is all fit apart from Arkadiusz Milik. Milik is reportedly back in training but still needs some time to catch up with fitness after a muscle injury.
