Coming into this match, these two teams are both unbeaten in their last matches, giving them confidence here.

On the other hand, Cagliari is at the 14th of the league table, having 31 points from their 32 matches. Fortunately, Cagliari is currently doing well, as they are also unbeaten recently across all contests. The meeting between these two teams is on April 20, 2024, at 2:45 AM (GMT+8).
Juventus FC
Juventus are aiming to secure a win at Cagliari to extend their five-match winning run against the Rossoblu to six. Massimiliano Allegri’s men must perform at a high level to secure maximum points in Sardinia, something the Bianconeri have not done consistently since the turn of the year. Bologna and Roma are four points adrift, and if the Giallorossi win their outstanding game against Udinese, they may be cut to five. Italy’s likelihood of securing an extra Champions League slot means it would take a cataclysmic collapse and other sides taking advantage to see Juventus fall to sixth. Supporters may not be keen on a trip to an in-form side, as they have been winless on their travels since January 21’s 3-0 win at Lecce.
Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli are suspended for Allegri’s team, while Moise Kean and Arkadiusz Milik are touch-and-go for Friday. Federico Chiesa is expected to start in Sardinia.
Cagliari Calcio
Sardinia faces Juventus on Friday, with the home team aiming to maintain their undefeated run in the relegation tussle. The Rossoblu have responded well to setbacks in their last three matches since the 1-0 defeat to Monza in mid-March. Cagliari has won a point after falling behind to Hellas Verona, turned around an early deficit against Atalanta, and twice came from a goal down to win a point at Inter. Their recent form has opened a four-point advantage over 18th-placed Frosinone. Ranieri hopes for a positive outcome to extend their undefeated home run to five. They claimed eight points from a possible 12 at the Unipol Domus. Cagliari have 13 points from their last eight matches in the Serie A, one more than they had achieved in the 14 league games preceding this run.
Ranieri may face injury absences of Oristanio, Petagna, Mancosu, and Pavoletti, while Viola provides an option to hurt Cagliari if Plan A fails.
