Cagliari-Torino is a match of the eighth day of Serie A and is played on Sunday at 6:00 pm: odds, prediction, live TV and streaming.
Cagliari reacted in the most difficult moment: after getting their first success (2-3 at home to Parma), the Sardinians managed to avoid defeat at Allianz Stadium against Juventus (1-1), retaking the Bianconeri with 2 minutes to go with a penalty kick converted by Marin. Two comforting results, both for the standings and for coach Davide Nicola, whose bench three weeks ago no longer seemed so solid.
The red and blue are on 6 points, they have left the red zone but now they must try to do better at home: at the Unipol Domus Cagliari collected very little, just two points, and scored only one goal against 7 conceded. Numbers to be improved as soon as possible, since salvation will also pass from the facility in the Sardinian capital. Nicola’s team continues to have the worst attack in the league – 5 goals scored like Venezia, Monza and Genoa – but the data on xG actually say something else, as Cagliari for now has the highest negative balance (-5.48) between goals expected and goals scored. We’ll see if Luvumbo and his teammates will be able to get unblocked against Torino, which remained orphaned of center forward Zapata: the Colombian will have to stay out for the whole season, a really heavy absence for Paolo Vanoli’s team, forced to return to the market in January. The granata, meanwhile, have somewhat fallen back into ranks after their early-season exploits: since their elimination in the Coppa Italia against Empoli, they have suffered two defeats, against Lazio and Inter.
Cagliari-Torino: the latest news on the lineups
Nicola must deal with the absence of Obert, who is injured in the national team. So it will be 4-2-3-1 with Viola on the three-quarter initially preferred to Gaetano, surrounded by Zortea and Luvumbo. In attack, the usual Piccoli. In the middle, however, Marin and Adopo should play, with Makoumbou ready to take over.
Light attack for Torino: without Zapata, Vanoli will rely on the Adams-Sanabria pair, supported by Vlasic. The two central midfielders will be Ilic and Ricci, while Lazaro and Sosa will act on the flanks. At the back Walukiewicz, stopped by the flu earlier in the week, is available again.
