Juventus Preview – Old Lady to continue unbeaten run with easy three points?
Juventus have found form again after crashing to back-to-back defeats to Chelsea and Atalanta in November. Since then, Massimiliano Allegri’s troops are undefeated in five league and cup games, winning four and drawing one.
They are still well off the pace in the race for the title. Champions Inter Milan lead the way on 43 points, a whopping 12 points clear of Juventus. For one reason or another, Juve have struggled to get going this season, winning nine, drawing four and losing five of 18 to sit seventh at the halfway stage.
Juventus picked up a decent 2-0 away win at Bologna last weekend, with Alvaro Morata and Juan Cuadrado getting the goals. They would no doubt take a similar result this Tuesday.
Cagliari Preview – Another heavy loss for the Islanders?
Cagliari, who finished 16th last term, are second from bottom in Serie A right now. Since taking over at the Unipol Domus in mid-September, Walter Mazzarri has yet to taste a league victory. In fact, the Islanders have won just one Serie A fixture all season.
Cagliari picked up a 3-1 home win over Cittadella in the Coppa Italia last Wednesday, which was their first victory since beating Sampdoria in the league in mid-October. However, they followed that up with an embarrassing 4-0 home reverse to Udinese on Saturday.
