Cagliari's form has been similarly mixed but leans positive lately. They won away at Udinese and away at Atalanta within a week of each other, either side of a home win over Lecce, though they did lose to Hellas Verona in the Coppa Italia and to Inter and Parma in the league.

Both sides have shown they can win comfortably and also come unstuck, so recent form doesn't point clearly one way.

Comparative Team Statistics: Cagliari vs Juventus

Head-to-head record

Historically this fixture has been one-way traffic for Juventus, with plenty of 2-0, 3-0 and 4-0 wins littered through the years.

But the picture has changed recently. Cagliari won the most recent meeting 1-0 at home in January, and before that Juventus only edged a narrow 2-1 win. The long-term record still heavily favours Juventus, but the last two meetings have both been tight.

Recent meetings have been far closer than the overall head-to-head record suggests.

Early table positions

Five games into the league season, Cagliari are fourth with 12 points from four wins and a single defeat. Juventus sit down in seventh with 10 points from three wins, a draw and a loss.

It's only a five-game sample, so nothing is settled yet, but it does show Cagliari have made the sharper start domestically this season.

This is an early-season snapshot, not a full-season picture, so it could still shift plenty before kickoff.

Players to watch

Cagliari's D. Maldini has been their most productive attacker, with three goals in five appearances, while M. Adopo has added two assists in the same number of games.

Cagliari:

Best scorers:

D. Maldini - 3

Best assist providers:

M. Adopo - 2

Penalty cards:

A. Deiola x 2

Juventus:

Best scorers:

E. Zhegrova - 2

For Juventus, E. Zhegrova has scored twice in four matches and looks like a reliable outlet going forward. Cagliari's A. Deiola has picked up two yellow cards in five games, which is worth noting given how often he's involved.

How this one could unfold

Cagliari's defence has only conceded twice in five league games so far, which is a solid platform to work from at home.

Juventus have scored heavily at times in their own matches, but they've also been shut out or beaten by less fancied sides this season. That contrast suggests this could be a tighter contest than the market price implies, even with Juventus rated the more accomplished side on paper.
