Juventus team news
Juventus are managing several injury concerns heading into this weekend. Defensive duo Gleison Bremer and Daniele Rugani are set to miss out through injury once again.
Federico Gatti is expected to recover from a muscle injury and could challenge Lloyd Kelly for a spot in the backline. After making several changes in midweek, manager Luciano Spalletti should recall established starters such as Khephren Thuram and Kenan Yildiz on Saturday. Also, Di Gregorio is set to start in goal after taking a break in the midweek UCL fixture.
Dusan Vlahovic will be in contention after avoiding an injury scare. The Serbian suffered a slight muscle strain during the pre-match warm-up in Norway ahead of the Champions League match against Bodo/Glimt but has been cleared of any significant injuries and is expected to recover in time for Saturday’s home contest.
Arkadiusz Milik remains the biggest unknown, with the Polish striker having not played competitively since May 2024 and with no clear timetable for rejoining the squad. Carlo Pinsoglio is targeting a return around mid-December after suffering a significant calf injury.
Cagliari team news
Cagliari might be without Yerry Mina, who picked up a heavy contusion during training and is doubtful for Saturday’s clash. Adam Obert or Juan Rodriguez are the top options to replace him. Ze Pedro is also a doubt due to a knee injury.
Luca Mazzitelli and Andrea Belotti are still sidelined their own injuries respectively. The former is expected to return in early December but Belotti will miss most of the season as he will not be back in the squad before at least early April.
Form
Juventus
Most recently, the Bianconeri drew 1-1 with Fiorentina away from home. In midweek, they secured their first Champions League victory of the season, defeating Bodo/Glimt 3-2 in Norway with goals from Lois Openda, McKennie, and Jonathan David (winner in the 91st minute).
Cagliari
After a thrilling 3-3 draw with Genoa last weekend, where Gennaro Borrelli scored a brace (33′, 60′) and Sebastiano Esposito netted once (43′), Cagliari sit 14th with 11 points from 12 games. The Sardinians have managed just two wins, five draws, and five losses this season, with a negative goal difference of -5 (12 scored, 17 conceded).
Predicted lineups
Juventus: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Kelly, Koopmeiners; Cambiaso, Locatelli, Thuram, Kostic; McKennie, Yildiz; Vlahovic.
Cagliari: Caprile; Zappa, Luperto, Obert; Palestra, Deiola, Prati, Folorunsho, Felici; Esposito, Borrelli.
