Command Analysis
Juventus
ItalyCurrent form
Juventus certainly had big plans for the season, having made a number of expensive acquisitions in the summer and brought in a new head coach. The opening period of the championship as a whole was quite decent and the Old Lady looked like a real contender for the Scudetto, but with the start of the Champions League, it became much more difficult to fight on two fronts.
At the moment, https://www.juventus.com/>Juventus is only sixth in the table, with 28 points to its credit – the gap from the leader Atalanta is nine points, which still leaves a chance for the title. In the last rounds, the Old Lady looked frankly weak and with great difficulty scored a point in matches where they clearly expected to take all six, coming under a barrage of criticism.
In the 15th round, Juventus were losing to Bologna at home until the last seconds, but saved a 2:2 draw at the end. The last home match against Venezia followed almost the same scenario - only a penalty goal in the last seconds allowed them to snatch a 2:2 draw from the main outsider of the championship. Juve leads Serie A in the number of draws - in 16 rounds, the "Old Lady" shared points with their opponents ten times.
Disqualifications and injuries
Milik, Bremer, Cabal, Ruhi, Cambiaso are injured.
Interesting trends for betting

Cagliari
ItalyCurrent form
Cagliari could not have set more ambitious goals for itself than maintaining its place in Serie A – it was not possible to strengthen seriously in the summer, and the selection of players does not allow one to count on more. At the same time, the Rossoblu were not considered obvious candidates for relegation, Davide Nicola took over a fairly experienced team, which they also managed to strengthen selectively with several quality players.
As expected, https://www.cagliaricalcio.com/>Cagliari was not impressive at the start and entered the season for a long time, having been in the relegation zone several times. However, the Rossoblu gradually came to their senses and produced several bright successful series, due to which they broke out of the danger zone and felt safe for some time. However, recently the Sardinians have slowed down again and did not have their best two rounds.
In the away match against Fiorentina, Cagliari simply lacked class, the "violets" quickly scored and skillfully held on to the victory, almost not allowing the Sardinians to create anything at their goal. In the last round at home, Cagliari looked very decent against Atalanta, but again lacked class - the 0:1 defeat was the second in a row and sent Cagliari to 18th place in the table.
Disqualifications and injuries
The visitors have no problems with their lineup.

After a series of failures, Juventus will certainly be determined to rehabilitate itself, and the chances of realizing their plans are quite high – Cagliari has not looked its best in recent matches. In terms of class, the “Old Lady” also has a serious advantage, even taking into account the possible rotation, and the “Rossoblu” may have problems with motivation, now maintaining a place in Serie A is a higher priority than fighting in the Cup.
We think that the guests have no chance. Forecast - Asian handicap (-1) for Juventus . This bet is offered with odds of 1.75
Bet on total
Juventus will certainly strive to resolve the issue of reaching the quarterfinals in regular time and will certainly try to do so confidently, having rehabilitated themselves for their recent failures. Cagliari is seriously inferior in class and is unlikely to be able to play reliably in defense against such an opponent away, but at the same time the Rossoblu has nothing to lose, the Old Lady is also not ideal in defense, and in recent years the Sardinians have been scoring regularly against Juve.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 2.00
Combined rate
Juventus is the undisputed favorite of the match, and will undoubtedly strive to justify this status in regular time. The Old Lady is quite capable of winning and getting to the quarterfinals - Cagliari is inferior in class and is far from being in the best shape. At the same time, it will be difficult to beat the Rossoblu dry, the Turin team has been making a lot of mistakes in defense lately.
The bet is Juventus win and both teams will score. This bet is offered for 3.40
