After spending time on the bench following the arrival of Randal Kolo Muani, Dusan Vlahovic is eager to reclaim his spot in Juventus’ starting lineup.
As the Bianconeri prepare to face Cagliari, a team he has frequently scored against, this match could be the perfect opportunity for the Serbian striker to make his mark once again.
Since Kolo Muani’s arrival, Vlahovic has seen limited playing time, but he has maintained a strong mentality. His brief yet impactful appearance against PSV demonstrated his relentless spirit, as he brought energy and determination to the field.
Despite hitting the post in that match, his performance may have given coach Thiago Motta something to think about.
According to Ilbianconero,there is a high possibility that Vlahovic will be given a starting role either against Cagliari in Serie A or against Empoli in the Coppa Italia.
The Serbian forward has remained in excellent physical condition, and in the first half of the season, he was an integral part of Juventus’ attack, especially when the squad lacked alternative options.
Vlahovic’s 2023/24 Serie A Performance So Far:
Matches played: 19
Starts: 16
Average minutes per match: 72
Goals scored: 8
Expected goals (xG): 10.21
Goals per minute ratio: 1 goal every 171 minutes

Despite some struggles this season, Vlahovic remains a key player with the potential to turn things around. Historically, he has thrived against Cagliari, having scored in his last three appearances against them.
With Thiago Motta confirming in his pre-match press conference that “everyone has a chance to start,” the upcoming match might be Vlahovic’s moment to shine.
With a hunger to prove himself once again, the Cagliari fixture presents a golden opportunity for Vlahovic to reaffirm his value to Juventus and remind fans of his goal-scoring prowess.
