Team News

Cagliari
  • Dessena is finally available for coach Ficcadenti, and may be in the starting XI against Juventus.
  • As Agostini is suspended, Perico will play at right-back and Pisano will move to the left side of the defence.
  • Thiago Ribeiro and Ibarbo are in contention as usual to partner Pinilla.
Juventus
  • De Ceglie's injury has ended his season early: he is going to miss the last two matches in the league and the Coppa Italia final.
  • As Pepe is also unavailable, Giaccherini and Estigarribia are in competition to patrol the left flank, with the former favoured.
  • Apparently, there will be no rest for Mirko Vucinic, while his attacking partner always changes: this time it should be Borriello.

Prediction

  • Cagliari are only 6 points ahead of Lecce, but, as the final-table tie-breakers are in the Sardinians favour, they don't need any more points from to guarantee safety. As they are also not going to play in their real home stadium, Cagliari have very few reasons to fight hard in this match.
  • Juventus' winning run ended due to a late equaliser and a true gift by Buffon against Lecce, but those dropped points could also be a good lesson for Conte's men not to let their concentration drop in their next matches.
  • Expect Juve to play with their usual high tempo and ball retention, while Cagliari will most likely sit and wait for a good chance to counter-attack. The away side should have no problems managing Cagliari's breaks, while it could be more difficult to find some space to go and strike. If Cagliari manage to keep the result in the balance until half time, then Juventus may feel the pressure and make some mistakes, but they have to keep in mind that their fate is completely in their own hands.
