Cagliari vs Juventus Betting Tips: 1X (Double chance)

Cagliari enters this Serie A contest with their heads held high, which is not surprising given their performance last Saturday when they twice canceled out the lead of runaway leaders Inter Milan to earn a mountainous point in a 2-2 draw at the Giuseppe Meazza, extending their unbeaten run to three games (W2, D1).

Surviving a nightmarish sequence of four straight losses between January 21st and February 10th, the wily strategist Claudio Ranieri has orchestrated an impressive turnaround for his side, who now sport only one smudge in their past eight SA contests, helping them establish a cushion of four points above the drop zone.

Revitalized Sardinian outfit has proven its mettle against top-tier sides, as evidenced by their remerkable 2-1 victory over top-six hopefuls Atalanta and hard-fought last-gasp draw with Scudetto holders Napoli before the mesmerizing four-goal stalemate against Nerazzurri, signaling their readiness to stir up another upset on Italian soil.

The next hevyweight to visit Cagliari's fiery turf is Juventus, a side whose ambitions of claiming the Serie A vice-champions spot suffered a blow last week as they were stifled to a dull goalless draw by arch-foes Torino in the Derby della Mole, further solidifying their status as one of the most out-of-form clubs on the road.

While comfortably enjoying the high third position with a reassuring eight-point lead over AS Roma in fifth, although De Rossi's side has one game in hand, Massimiliano Allegri's crew have valid reasons to be concerned as their recent away trips have been anything but good, going without a win for three months (D2, L3).

Furthermore, Juventus' lack of scoring on enemy territory is also hindering their quest for desired results, as they have found the net only twice in this winless run spanning five Serie A away matches, while their current tally of 45 goals this term represents the fewest scored at this stage in the past 25 years!

Despite securing three clean sheets on the bounce, Bianconeri's struggles to breach the opponent's backline and their uninspiring away form make them a risky bet in Friday's contest, especially considering Ranieri's side has been putting up impressive displays at the Unipol Domus of late, avoiding loss in four straight and rattling the net an imposing eight times. Consequently, we expect the self-assured Gli Isolani to hold the faltering Turin giants to a draw, at the very least.
