Cagliari-Torino Statistical Preview

Team News

Cagliari

• Nicola Murru is back and available, which means that Avelar is likely to go back onto the bench.
• As Pinilla is expected to miss this game, Sau and Ibarbo are likely to start up front.

Torino

• Giampiero Ventura seems likely to return to his favoured 4-4-2 with very offensive wingers.
• This lineup will give him the chance to use two of the three strikers he has available.
• Immobile is likely to be dropped.

Match Facts

• Cagliari have lost their last 3 matches in Serie A.
• Torino have failed to win 12 of their last 13 away matches in Serie A.
• Cagliari have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 3 matches in Serie A.
• Torino have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 3 away matches in Serie A.
• Cagliari are undefeated in their last 5 home matches against Torino in all competitions.

Prediction

• After a start to the season in which Cagliari lost only 1 of their first 6 matches, the Sardinians have zero points from their last three games and are dropping dangerously down the table.
• Torino have been inconsistent so far this seaosn, with good performances followed by big disappointments. They only have got five points from their last seven matches, but at the same time they were the team to stop Roma’s winning run.
• Both teams may feel that they are due some luck, so a share of the spoils for each team could be a good way to keep away from the bottom of the table.

Cagliari 1 - 1 Torino
