Juventus vs Cagliari Prediction and Betting Tips | December 17th 2024

The Bianconeri are unbeaten in their last 11 games in all competitions, though eight have ended in draws. They met Venezia in Serie A on Saturday and were held to a 2-2 home draw.

Gli Isolani have endured a poor run of form recently, winning just one of their last eight games. They met league leaders Atalanta on Saturday and suffered a second consecutive 1-0 loss in Serie A.

They have scored 14 goals in their last five games in the Coppa Italia while keeping three clean sheets. They have scored at least two goals in six of their last seven games in this fixture and will look to continue that goalscoring form here.

The Isolani have seen under 2.5 goals in their last three games, keeping one clean sheet while failing to score in the last two. They have played two consecutive draws against the hosts, including a 1-1 stalemate earlier this season, and will look to build on that form.
