Cagliari will welcome Juventus to the Unipol Domus in Serie A on Saturday, with the home team hoping to cause an upset after failing to get a win since the turn of the new year.
Cagliari’s struggle in Serie A continued with a 3-0 defeat to fellow strugglers Genoa, leaving them 16th in the table and their cushion above the relegation zone shrinking further.
Fabio Pisacane’s side are now winless in three consecutive matches and with just two victories from their last 16 league games, their battle to avoid the drop looks set to go the distance.
Home form, usually the backbone of their survival bid, has been worrying, with a single win in their last seven home matches. Overall, Cagliari have lost seven of ten matches against top-half opponents, failing to score in six of those encounters.
Conversely, Juventus are in fine form following a 2-1 defeat to Napoli in early December, winning six of seven competitive matches since. Back-to-back away clean sheets and a recent 5-0 demolition of Cremonese on Monday.
The Bianconeri are now on course to potentially record four consecutive Serie A away victories without conceding, which would further bolster their title ambitions.

Cagliari vs Juventus prediction: Away team to get a narrow win

Correct score prediction: Cagliari 1-2 Juventus
We are expecting a comfortable win for the visitors here, with Juventus likely to come away with a narrow 2–1 win. Their quality should give them a clear edge, especially against a Cagliari side that has found goals hard to come by when facing stronger opponents.
The Old Lady have remained sharp going forward, regularly finding the net in recent away fixtures. With Juve’s ability to stay compact, manage the game, and strike efficiently on the break, the visitors should dictate proceedings and do enough to win the game.
Pre-match odds and win probability: Juventus favourites away from home
- Home: 19/4 (5.75) – 17.4%
- Draw: 14/5 (3.80) – 26.3%
- Away: 3/5 (1.60) – 62.5%
*Odds provided by Ladbrokes. Subject to change.*
Juventus are clear favourites at 1.60, which implies a strong 62.5% chance of claiming all three points away from home. Cagliari are priced at 5.75, reflecting a 17.4% probability of causing an upset, while the draw sits at 3.80 (26.3%), suggesting Juventus’ quality should tell, but not without some resistance from the hosts.
Most recent head-to-head: The Old Lady dominance
Recent head-to-head history clearly favours Juventus. Across the last five competitive encounters, the Turin side have dominated these encounters, recording three victories, while Cagliari have been able to take two draws in that run.
The Old Lady also arrive with momentum from recent meetings. They edged Cagliari 2–1 in November 2025, followed that up with a narrow 1–0 win earlier in 2025 and produced a commanding 4–0 triumph in the Coppa Italia back in December 2024.

Player to watch: Kenan Yildiz
With Dusan Vlahovic out injured, Kenan Yildiz has stepped up as the creative spark for this Juventus side and will be the player to watch on Saturday. The young Turkish talent has been electric in recent weeks, twisting past defenders and creating chances for his teammates.
In the recent victories, he has been instrumental in the final third, showing maturity beyond his years. He has scored seven goals and provided four assists for Juventus this season, with him being their top scorer.
