Torino vs Cagliari prediction 27.12.2025 | Serie A

Torino became a synonym for mid-table in the previous seasons. Although some pundits expected Il Toro to have some problems in the current campaign, they are solid eight points above the drop zone. Torino had problems recently, having gone six games without a win. Marco Baroni's team returned to the right track with six points in the previous two games. In the most recent outing, Torino won 1-0 on the road against Sassuolo. The guests ended with xG of 1.72, while the hosts had 0.43, so it is no wonder Torino's all three points were well-deserved.

Torino's head coach, Marco Baroni, was delighted after a victory against Sassuolo in the previous league round. He said, "Convincing performance in all aspects, beyond the result that we are very pleased with. The first half was almost perfect, now we will have to try to maintain this level. The team is growing a lot in the defensive phase. The figure of seven clean sheets is important, but what I try to convey is the idea of defending by running forward."

Saul Coco and Adam Masina are on international duty, while Perr Schuurs and Zannetos Savva are injured and will play on Saturday against Cagliari.

Since returning to Serie A in 2023, Cagliari have been regular participants in the relegation battle. The current campaign looks equally challenging for Fabio Pisacane's side, with the Sardinians sitting just three points above the drop zone after 16 league matches. Pisacane's team struggled recently, with only one victory in the last 13 matches across all competitions. In the previous game, Cagliari played 2-2 at home against Pisa. The home side was close to all three points in that match, but the visitors scored an equalizer late in the second half and left Cagliari with one point.

After losing two points late in the game against Pisa, Cagliari's head coach Fabio Pisacane was disappointed. He said, "It's a shame, because in the last three home games we've thrown away four points. A team like ours can't afford that; we need to be a bit more cunning and understand that the game is over without always aiming to be beautiful."

Cagliari have some problems with missing players, too. They will be without Zito Luvumbo, Joseph Liteta, Mattia Felici, Andrea Belotti, and Jose Pedro on Saturday afternoon. Also, Michael Folorunsho is questionable and his status will be clearer closer to the kickoff.
