Preview | Cagliari vs Juventus

Serie A's Cagliari hosts Juventus for a pivotal Matchday 6 encounter on Sunday, October 11 at 20:45 CEST. The Rossoneri seek to break a recent winless streak as they face a Cagliari side that ranks among the top four in the league for conceding the fewest goals.

Despite Juventus' 47 Serie A wins over Cagliari (the most of any team besides Inter and AC Milan), the Bianconeri have claimed only two of their last five matches against the Rossoblu (D2, L1). In the last three campaigns (since 2010), Juventus have outscored Cagliari 22-5 in 29 Serie A clashes, while Cagliari have managed to emerce more victories only against Udinese (24 wins in 33 matches).

Luciano Spalletti's tenure at Juventus has seen the team notch 16 clean sheets across all Serie A matches, tying them with Roma and Como for the most in the league. Atalanta's Nico González has netted three goals in Serie A matches against Cagliari, the most by any player in that matchup. The Argentine striker has also found the back of the net twice in his last three league outings, both from outside the box.

Kosovan Edon Zhegrova has been active in goal-scoring for Cagliari, contributing three goals in his last two league games. After a goalless stretch in his previous 21 Serie A appearances, Zhegrova could potentially be involved in three consecutive goals for Cagliari for the first time since the inception of the top five European leagues.

Michel Adopo will enter his 100th Serie A match against Juventus for Cagliari, including 78 appearances against the club. The midfielder has provided two assists in just five matches this season, mirroring the number of assists he contributed in all 38 matches last campaign.
