Juventus are hoping to recover from their Champions League shocker when they travel to Cagliari to face the side hoping to escape relegation. It has been tough for Juventus in recent weeks and being dumped out of the Champions League by Porto was the lowest it could get. Here they face a Cagliari side placed 17th on 22 points and seeking three points to push their survival agenda. Meanwhile, Juventus are third, with 52 points, hoping to close in on leaders Inter who are 10 points ahead. Cagliari had a change in management and new coach Leonardo Semplici has come with the perfect tonic. His inception saw the team snap a 16-game winless run and they’re now unbeaten in three, with two wins and two clean sheets therein. The team is two points above the drop zone albeit having played two matches more. In the last 19 matches across all competitions, Cagliari have won twice and they have nine losses in the last 15 league matches. All that for now will be forgotten as new coach Semplici spreads his philosophy at the side. Survival looks real now and that must have been enhanced by the fighting spirit seen in the last game as Radja Nainggolan scored in the last minute to secure a point in the 2-2 draw with Sampdoria.

Juventus are hurting, but with the experience in the team, they’ll know the mourning can’t go on for so long. They have a game in hand and winning it will mean they go seven points behind Inter. That should be the target here, and a run of five unbeaten matches, with four wins should be good to push them. While they are out of the Champions League, not all is lost; they can still vie for the league title while they’re also in the Coppa Italia final. The Old Lady have their scoring mojo back, with three goals in four of their last five matches and may only focus on stabilizing the defence that has conceded four in the last five games. They are unbeaten in the last four Serie A matches, with three wins therein. In the last four Serie A matches, Juventus have scored 10 goals and head here from a 3-1 win over Lazio but are winless in the last three away matches.
