Juventus 2 - Cagliari 1: Initial reaction and random observations Guess who’s back atop the Serie A table ... even if it is just for one night pending future results. Sunday night at the Allianz Stadium proved to be one where a few of Juventus’ most prominent streaks came to an unfortunate end. ............. Not only did Juventus see another game pass where none of their strikers scored, not only did Juventus return to their ways of not scoring from open play and not only did we see Max Allegri drop things deep against a lesser opponent to hold onto a win, but we also saw the Bianconeri extend their winning streak to five games with a 2-1 victory over Cagliari. What looked like it was going to be another win and a clean sheet after goals from Bremer and Daniele Rugani (and his junk), turned into something was maybe a little too close for comfort when Cagliari cut the lead in half — the kind of goal that will certainly make Max Allegri a little angry despite the victory and the three points. Oh, and this, too: Juventus are, for at least 24 hours, looking down at all of the other 19 teams in Serie A, one point clear of Inter ahead of their game against Matias Soulé and Frosinone on Sunday night. Alas ... gone is the streak of 1-0 wins, which ended at three. (And, in a way, going from the end of one international break to the start of the next and winning every game by the same 1-0 scoreline would have given me some kind of sick amusement. I know, I know, but it makes me laugh!) ............. Juventus will take that winning streak into the first Derby d’Italia of the season at San Siro in a couple of weeks. We don’t know if Juve will still be first or kicked back down to second with Sunday night’s result. But we do know is that Juventus will probably be hoping that Soulé gives them a little bit of help and tries to ensure that his parent club goes into the break officially atop the table. That is still going to be something that Allegri plays down no matter what considering what the main objective for this season continues to be. But the thing with this season is that Allegri’s team is getting wins in games in which they found themselves dropping points in a year ago. Was the performance against Cagliari all that great? Nah, I don’t think so. There’s still plenty of issues with this Juventus squad — especially when you take out a few key pieces because of suspension and/or injuries. ............. RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS Juventus are undefeated in games in which Manuel Locatelli wears the captain’s armband this season. They’re also undefeated in games this season when Stephan Lichtsteiner and Sami Khedira show up and get a nice round of applause before the game. If only Mario Mandzukic had rolled into Turin for the weekend and met up with two of his best mates from his Juve days. A half-hour in and Juve recorded all of two shots. That’s not exactly testing the greatness that is Simone Scuffet in goal. Oh well. Juve’s first half in a nutshell: misplaced passes out of the back, misplaced shots when they got the ball to the attack. Basically, an opening 45 minutes where they didn’t play very well. ............. Man, I was so ready to just kick up my feet — even though I watch every game in my recliner so they’re technically usually kicked up — after Rugani scored with his groin area to make it 2-0. But nope, we had to sweat this one out because that’s just how this team is. Allegri essentially challenged Federico Gatti not to get a yellow card (and the subsequent suspension) that would force him to miss the Inter showdown — and he was successful! Good job listening to your coach, Mr. Cats. “Juventus are atop the table” has a nice ring to it. Frosinone should beat Inter on Sunday night so that we can continue to say that for the next couple of weeks at minimum.

Bremer and Rugani’s goals send Juventus to the top of the Serie A Juventus defeated Cagliari 2-1 in Serie A this evening to maintain their winning streak, although their run of clean sheets has come to an end. .............. The Old Lady started well, but they faced a Cagliari side on a three-game winning streak, and their visitors had the energy to pose some problems at the beginning of the match. .............. The Bianconeri had to wait until the hour mark to open the scoring, with Gleison Bremer heading in a fine Filip Kostic free kick. The Bianconeri extended their lead ten minutes later when Daniele Rugani scrambled the ball home in a crowded Cagliari goal. Cagliari pulled one back five minutes later, setting up a nervous finish to the game. Juve has been fantastic defensively this season and defended their lead well while trying to score another goal. Both clubs sought another goal, but it never came, and Juve will spend the next few hours at the top of the Italian league table before Inter Milan plays.

Bremer, stacco alla CR7

Cambiaso becca il giallo e viene subito dopo sostituito. Esordio di Nicolussi in questa stagione.

Allegri non ci sente da quell'orecchio

DANIELE RUGANI 2-0

GLEISON BREMER 1-0

É palesemente fermo a causa del mal di schiena

Nicolussi

Locatelli ancora in campo. Ma Allegri la sta vedendo la partita?

Il té caldo ha fatto bene a Locatelli che é ancora in campo. Prima del 60esimo non ci saranno cambi per Allegri.

Ecco, questo é un paragone che calza a pennello.

Mister, lo facciamo entrare Nicolussi?

Clean sheet di entrambe le squadre

Kean sbaglia il suo solito gol

Il VAR ha colpito ancora? Le polemiche invece che diminuire stanno aumentando. Prima era colpa solo della terna arbitrale ora della tecnologia usata a favore di chi sappiamo noi.

Juventus vs Cagliari Preview: Probable Lineups, Prediction, Tactics, Team News & Key Stats Juventus will host Cagliari in Serie A this weekend, looking to continue their impressive run of form with a victory at home. Juventus are currently second in the league table, and they will hope to climb to the top of the table with a win over Cagliari on Saturday. The home side are coming into this game on the back of four consecutive victories in the league, and they will be the favourites heading into this contest. Meanwhile, Cagliari are 17th in the league table, and they will need to start picking up points or they could be dragged into the relegation battle. They have picked up two consecutive victories in the league and they will look to pull off an upset here. ............. Team News & Tactics Juventus ............. Probable Lineup (3-5-2): Szczesny; Rugani, Bremer, Huijsen; Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Miretti, Kostic; Vlahovic, Chiesa Cagliari ............. Probable Lineup (4-3-1-2): Scuffet; Zappa, Goldaniga, Dossena, Augello; Makoumbou, Prati, Jankto; Mancosu; Luvumbo, Oristanio Key Stats Juventus have won 11 of their last 12 matches against Cagliari in all competitions.

There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Cagliari’s last six games in Serie A. 17 goals have been scored in the last six matches between these two teams. Cagliari have conceded 22 goals in 11 league matches this season.

Prediction Juventus 3-1 Cagliari Juventus are undoubtedly the better team here, and they should be able to grind out all three points. Cagliari will be desperate to bounce back strongly and they are likely to put up a fight.

“Locatelli will be the captain” – Allegri reveals some of his choices before Cagliari match On Saturday evening, Juventus will welcome Cagliari to the Allianz Stadium in the final Serie A weekend before the November international break. Due to several absentees either through injuries or suspension, Max Allegri will have to introduce some tweaks to his starting formation. The Juventus manager held his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon where he revealed some of his choices for tomorrow. The 56-year-old announced that Manuel Locatelli will wear the captain’s armband in the absence of the injured Danilo and the balanced Adrien Rabiot. “From all points of view, tomorrow’s match will be fundamental for us,” said Allegri. ................ While some suggested that Dean Huijsen could start tomorrow, Allegri revealed that Federico Gatti will maintain his place at the back despite risking a ban. “Federico Gatti is one card away from a ban, but he will play because we can’t afford to look ahead to the next matches. ................ “In attack, everyone is healthy and that’s the most important aspect. Whoever starts from the beginning will be able to make an impact and the same goes for whoever comes in during the game. ................ “It’s a difficult match because we’re coming from an extremely positive period and, consequently, the attention span could be decreased, but I’ve warned my players. “We will have to play with serenity, but at the same time with determination to bring home an important result.” Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/locatelli-will-be-the-captain-allegri-reveals-some-of-his-choices-before-cagliari-match/

Man City and Phillips both open to Juventus loan – But other targets persist This January, Juventus could be looking to bolster their midfield ranks by adding an experienced profile to the mix. Max Allegri is suffering from a shortage in the middle of the park, especially following the suspensions of Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli. Juventus are making progress in their pursuit of Man City midfielder Kalvin Phillips. ............... Although he won the treble last season, the Englishman is frustrated by the lack of playing time under Pep Guardiola. So as the report tells it, Phillips is open for a transfer to Turin. The Cityzens are also in the same boat. The European champions would prefer to send the player on loan abroad rather than strengthen a domestic competitor. The 27-year-old currently earns 5 million euros per season. But Juventus should be able to afford his wages since it would be a short-term transfer. ...............

Juventus vs Cagliari: Serie A Preview, Potential Lineups & Prediction Saturday’s Serie A action rounds off at the Allianz Stadium as Juventus and Cagliari go head-to-head for the first time since April 2022. Let’s look at our match preview for this contest. ............... It’s unfathomable how Juventus waltzed away from Tuscany with three points, considering they lamented just 32% possession of the ball and conceded a staggering 25 shots on goal. However, they held their ground in Florence to post a fourth consecutive league win ‘to nil.’ Since the last three have yielded an identical 1-0 scoreline, Juve would be wise to avoid getting complacent. With only two points separating them from top-placed Inter, Juventus could temporarily climb to the summit with a win. But visiting Cagliari seem to be gaining a foothold in Serie A following a dreadful form at the start of their first top-flight campaign in two years. Claudio Ranieri’s men crawled out of the relegation zone with a 2-1 home win over fellow promoted rivals Genoa last weekend. ............... Match Preview Juventus Although only Bologna (12) amongst the sides starting this round in the top eight have bagged fewer goals than Juventus (17), the record-time Italian champions are seemingly back in the Scudetto frame after three underwhelming campaigns. Much of the credit for their return to glory goes to a water-tight backline that has kept six consecutive league clean sheets in the build-up to this matchday. Indeed, alongside Inter, Juventus boast the joint-best defensive record in Serie A this season, with only six goals conceded in the first 11 matches. It’s among the main reasons Bianconeri have emerged victorious in four league outings at the Allianz Stadium on the trot since a 1-1 draw against Bologna in their curtain-raising home fixture in August. Player to Watch: Moise Kean ............... Cagliari Cagliari have turned a seemingly horrendous campaign upside down in less than seven days, racking up back-to-back Serie A wins and squeezing past Udinese in the Coppa Italia. Against this backdrop, the Sardinians haven’t fared well in hostile environments, going winless on all five league travels this season (D2, L3). ............... Juventus vs Cagliari Potential Lineups Juventus (3-5-2): Wojciech Szczesny; Federico Gatti, Gleison Bremer, Daniele Rugani; Andrea Cambiaso, Adrien Rabiot, Manuel Locatelli, Weston McKennie, Fabio Miretti; Federico Chiesa, Moise Kean. Cagliari (4-3-1-2): Simone Scuffet; Mateusz Wieteska, Alberto Dossena, Pantelis Hatzidiakos, Gabriele Zappa; Nicola Viola, Makoumbou, Matteo Prati; Marco Mancosu; Zito Luvumbo, Gaetano Oristanio. Juventus vs Cagliari Prediction On paper, this should be another day in the office for Juventus. However, the hosts’ wins have lacked conviction, while the visitors are on the path of redemption after a sluggish start. Allegri’s men should still run out victors, but we can envisage a dramatic contest.

Yildiz reveals how Juventus poached him from Bayern Munich Kenan Yildiz is now one of the budding youngsters Juventus has promoted to their first team. The Turkish youngster joined the Bianconeri from Bayern Munich last year and started with their U19 side. ............. He is now a permanent member of the senior side after a short stint with the Next Gen team. Poaching such a huge talent from the Bayern Munich academy is a major win for the Bianconeri, and the attacker has revealed how Juve convinced him. ............. Yildiz said: “Leaving Bavaria, however, was strange, but Juventus introduced me the best sporting project ever and the Bayern managers moved with my entourage too late, as much as they were intent on keeping me.” .............
