As Juventus moves past their disappointment of exiting the Champions League, their focus shifts back to Serie A. The Bianconeri, under Thiago Motta, will face a challenging away fixture against Cagliari in the 26th round of the league. Securing a top four finish remains the club’s priority, and this match will be crucial in maintaining their position.
Prior to their Champions League defeat to PSV Eindhoven, Juventus had built momentum with four consecutive victories, three of which came in the league.
They now aim to regain their winning form and keep a competitive edge over direct rivals for Champions League qualification. Thiago Motta is carefully evaluating the best tactical approach to counter Davide Nicola’s well-organized Cagliari squad.
Cagliari comes into this game with confidence, having recently drawn against Atalanta and advanced in the Coppa Italia with a win over Parma.
Known for their resilience, particularly at home, they will look to frustrate Juventus and secure another positive result. In the reverse fixture at the Allianz Stadium, Juventus failed to claim all three points, conceding a late equalizer. To avoid another setback, they must deliver a solid performance this time.
