Working their asses off last season, Juventus managed to secure the Scudetto for the umpteenth time, but their performances left a lot to be desired. Even with that trophy safely stashed in the cabinet, Sarri was relieved of his duties at the end of the campaign.

A club of their stature shouldn’t be grappling with other clubs for the league title, and Sarri’s failure to comfortably lead the Bianconeri to Serie A glory ultimately cost him his job. With Pirlo currently in the dugout, the 41-year-old is expected to achieve much more in Turin.

Still yet to find their best form, Juventus are enduring some disappointing displays in the league, and indeed, the Champions League. However, they can be forgiven for these downsides, given many other top sides in the pack are facing similar problems.

With seven games already played, the Bianconeri sit fifth on the standings, having garnered 13 points from an available 21. Surely, this wasn’t the start that their supporters dreamt of, but still, they have been forced to endure this poor run of form.

Pirlo can have lots of excuses for the muddles at the club, most especially the injury-crisis that ravaged them earlier in the season. In fact, the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo spent his fair share of time on the sidelines, but has since returned to the pitch.

That said, the Italian gaffer must find a route to bringing this faltering Juventus side back to the top of their game – perhaps going back to the drawing board to work out a more effective tactic. He has struggled to get the best out of last season’s Serie A MVP Dybala.

Taking on fellow title-challengers Lazio in their previous fixture, the Old Lady were made to settle for a drab one-all draw as they headed home with a single point. After Ronaldo had put his side ahead in the first-half, a last-gasp Caicedo strike brought the game back in the balance.

Against an equally-tricky Cagliari side, Juve will need to deliver a better performance to ensure the three points are safely bagged. Gli Isolani are in great form at the moment, and are stringing series of positive results to climb up the ladder.

Winning three of their previous four league games, Cagliari are on cloud-nine. They comfortably swept Sampdoria aside on the last matchday, putting two unanswered goals past them. Eusebio’s men are surely going to give Juventus a difficult test here.

Injured or Suspended Players

Juventus: Alex Sandro, Aaron Ramsey, Federico Chiesa, Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci and Sami Khedira.
Cagliari: Simone Pinna, Zito Luvumbo, Paolo Farago and Valter Birsa.

Juventus vs Cagliari Predictions

With a growing injury list, Pirlo’s problems continue to mount, and the gaffer will have to make do without some of his star players in this fixture. Without the services of Chiellini and Bonucci, Juve’s defense will be left in the lurch. A very strong side, Cagliari will be looking to take advantage of the Bianconeri’s major injury crisis to cause an upset. Against all odds, we will go the unlikely route of backing the visitors to clinch maximum points here.
