Juventus will target top spot when they play host to Cagliari in their next Serie A game on Saturday. The two sides have done well lately but while Juventus are second, Cagliari are 17th. Juventus have 26 points, two behind leaders Inter Milan who are coming from an away game in the Champions League. Having had no midweek action, Juventus will hope to bag three points here, to extend their fine run. The last time they were in action, Juventus beat Fiorentina 1-0 away from home. They’ve established themselves as one of the best defensive sides this season. The win over Fiorentina served Juventus’ sixth straight clean sheets. However, they haven't been scoring a lot of goals this season. In the top five, they have the least goals (17). They’ve made up for this with a good defence, having conceded just six times in 11 games. A shock loss at Sassuolo in September is the only defeat they’ve had to deal with this season.

Cagliari have picked up well in recent matches, and will want to extend their recent run here. They have three straight wins and are unbeaten in four games coming into this encounter. One of their three straight wins, however, came in extra time – against Udinese in the Coppa Italia. They’ve also done well in attack, scoring in each of their last five matches. Cagliari have however failed to keep a clean sheet in eight games, managing just one in 11. The visitors have an uphill task here, considering they haven't beaten Juventus in the last four meetings. They failed to score in two of those losses. Coming into this game though, Cagliari have scored in each of their last five matches. In the last four, they’ve scored at least twice in each. They’ve conceded two or more in three of their last five matches though. Their away run is another big concern they’ll have coming into this game. The visitors have no win in 10 away league matches. In the last four away Serie A matches, they’ve lost three, and failed to score in three of five.
