Serie A, Sunday, 23.02.2025 at 20:45 CET
Betting providers and fans alike are amazed that two Italian heavyweights like Juventus and Milan have already been knocked out of the Champions League. How will the “Bianconeri” recover from this shock?
According to my Cagliari Juventus tip, quite well! It will be a tough game against the Sardinians as always, but in their current form and with the will to make amends, the guests should still be able to prevail in the end.
Let’s take a closer look at the current form of both teams. Cagliari have performed significantly better in recent games, which has also taken them a bit further away from the relegation zone.
Their recent 0-0 draw against Atalanta was definitely a highlight, as they held out against a very strong attacking opponent and secured a point. However, it was the first time in ten match days that they kept a clean sheet.
Their bigger problem, however, is their offense. Although they have performed well in recent months, they lack the right impetus up front to stay out of the relegation zone in the long term.
That could prove to be a problem against Juventus, who have more firepower in attack.
Cagliari are usually feared for their home strength, but what about their current form at home?
They have suffered three defeats in their last five Serie A home games against Italian European Cup contenders – and against big names like Lazio, Inter and Atalanta.
These results could be an early indication that Cagliari are struggling to compete against the top teams in the league, which could reduce their chances of getting a positive result against Juventus. Despite their disappointing exit from the premier class against PSV Eindhoven – after a dramatic extra time – Juventus have recently been convincing in all respects in the Serie A.
Three wins from their last three league games against Inter, Como and Empoli confirm that the Bianconeri are back on track and finally getting more wins than draws.
Particularly noteworthy is new signing Kolo Muani, who has become an important player for the Old Lady with his outstanding tally of five goals and one assist in his first four league games.
Although he did not shine in the two European Cup games against PSV, his form in the Serie A is a clear asset for Juventus. If Muani continues to be as effective as he has been, it will be a challenge for Cagliari to keep up.
The Cagliari Juventus odds for an away win are high enough for me at 1.90 to be considered as a single bet.
In the Coppa Italia, they beat Cagliari 4-0 in December without Muani, who was not yet in the team at the time.
Based on the current form of Cagliari Calcio and Juventus Turin, there are some special betting scenarios in the Bet365 app that are worth taking a look at.
For example, Cagliari have not won any of their last eight games against Juventus, which clearly puts the guests in the role of favorites.
A win for the “Bianconeri” at odds of 1.90 therefore seems promising.
Furthermore, it can be seen that more goals have been scored in the second half in Cagliari’s last six home games.
And indeed, the Sardinians’ defensive dam could break rather late than early this time too, which makes the bet on “2nd half, the most high-scoring” at odds of 2.07 all the more interesting.
It is to be expected that the game will develop in favor of the guests over time, which could lead to a higher goal yield in the second 45 minutes.
Another interesting betting option is the bet on “Over 2.5 goals” with odds of 1.98. In Cagliari’s last four home games, at least three goals have always been scored, which indicates that a high-scoring game can be expected this time as well.
In combination with the form of Juventus, this could therefore be another very promising option.
Conclusion: Cagliari could keep up well at the beginning, but by the second half at the latest, their strength is likely to wane. Juventus, on the other hand, will be competing with a lot of anger in their stomachs after their disappointing Champions League exit.
The “Bianconeri” are far from a crisis and will do everything they can to get the three points against the Sardinians. A win for the guests is therefore more likely than not.
