Series A, Friday, 19.04.2024
“Payout at any price” could be the motto for my Cagliari Juventus betting tip, which will herald the 33rd Serie A matchday.
I’m going to show you several promising scenarios that are worth betting on in view of the resurgent Sardinians. Personally, however, I have opted for the betting combination with the lowest risk:
It’s madness the way Cagliari Calcio have come out of the last international break before Euro 2024 and into the final phase of the 2023/24 season. Three decent results in a row were recorded in Serie A.
And against really strong teams too! A 1:1 draw against Verona was followed by a last-minute win over Atalanta (2:1) and a 2:2 draw against the already almost certain champions Inter.
My question to you: If Cagliari stopped Inter from winning their 27th Serie A match away from home and were able to beat “Liverpool shockers” Bergamo before that, why shouldn’t they now be able to get something against a weakening Juventus?
In the “Derby della Mole”, I hit the nail on the head with my Turin FC Juventus betting tip and was able to collect manageable but fine odds of around 1.55.
It was clear to me that without Arkadiusz Milik, who has been injured for weeks, the Bianconeri would simply be far too lethargic in attack to create any goalscoring opportunities worth mentioning.
As a result, the result in the city derby remained a tired 0-0, although the Pole seems to have fully recovered from his injury and should once again flank Duvan Vlahovic up front on Friday. That is something to be pleased about for Juve
If you look at the direct comparison, Cagliari fans could get scared. Juventus have won 11 of their last 12 Serie A encounters against the islanders.
However, the victories have almost always been close, with results of 1-0, 2-0, 2-1 and only rarely 3-1. In the first-round duel, for example, it was a 2-1 win that helped the “Bianconeri” put the promoted side in their place.
Nevertheless, Juve were in much better shape then than they are now. The Sardinians have not picked up three more points than Allegri’s men over the last ten matchdays for nothing!
The bookmakers’ Cagliari Juventus odds have been selected in such a way that the supposed role of the visitors as favorites cannot be disputed.
Because with average values of 4.75, 3.60 and 1.77, the odds get lower and lower from left to right when reading the respective 1X2 offers.
And those of you who are hesitant to select risky odds of 5 for a win for the promoted team in the user-friendly Interwetten app will meet with my understanding, but should also know that the Sardinians have collected 23 of their 31 Serie A points in their own stadium.
I’m not quite so foolhardy as to believe that Sardinia will win their next match against a top club. Instead, I’ll try to take a similarly sophisticated approach to the Turin side’s last appearance.
With Bet365 sports betting, I have access to a wide range of different bet types, two of which I will combine: “Win Cagliari with handicap +2” and “Under 4.5 goals.”
The fact that the visitors from Turin will not contribute to a high-scoring affair is unavoidable for me, even with the announced return of Arkadiusz Milik.
The Pole has not had a good season in the Old Lady’s shirt and has already been injured several times this season. He will therefore certainly not be a game changer in Allegri’s system on Friday
In view of the fact that Juventus have scored just one goal in their last four Serie A appearances, there are also structural reasons for their goal drought.
The Bianconeri’s play is often far too static and quick combinations are in short supply.
If Juve play as predictably as they did in the recent city derby, I can hardly imagine that Cagliari will be outwitted
Conclusion: There is much more in it for the home side here than I expressed in my Cagliari Juventus betting tip.
Because Cagliari could draw, but they could also win!
Their recent performances and the odds the bookmakers are offering for Friday at least justify believing in the Rossoblu, whereas their upcoming opponents are hardly recognizable shortly after the turn of the year.
My safety-first approach is: Win Cagliari with handicap +2 & Under 3.5 goals
