Juventus vs. Cagliari: Round 21 Match Preview

Juventus is set to face Cagliari in a crucial Serie A match on January 17, 2026. The game will take place at Unipol Domus in Cagliari, Italy, with kickoff scheduled for 8:45 p.m. local time. This fixture marks the end of a favorable run for Juventus, who recently secured victories against Bologna and Roma.

Current Form and Standings

Juventus enters this match in a strong position, situated just one point behind the reigning champions, Napoli. Napoli has struggled recently, registering three consecutive draws, allowing Juventus to remain in contention for a higher league placement.

Cagliari, on the other hand, is facing relegation concerns, currently positioned in 16th place in the Serie A standings. Having suffered a 2-1 defeat to Juventus in their last encounter on November 29, Cagliari’s performance this season has been disappointing, with only two wins across 17 games since late September.

Coaching and Player Insights

Juventus Manager Luciano Spalletti is focused on the upcoming match against Cagliari, emphasizing the need to concentrate on one game at a time. “For us right now, the only game we’re thinking about is the one away to Cagliari,” Spalletti noted in a recent press conference.

Juventus has recently welcomed back players Federico Gatti and Francisco Conceição from injuries, enhancing their squad depth. However, the team will be without Dusan Vlahovic, Daniele Rugani, and Arek Milik due to injuries.
