Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Juventus, 5th position with 45 points and a positive goal difference of +21
Cagliari, 15th position with 24 points and a negative goal difference of -13

Cagliari lost the Serie A Week 26 match on Sunday, February 23, 2025, at the Unipol Domus Stadium in Cagliari, Italy.  Juventus celebrates its fourth consecutive championship win while trying to move past their Champions League exit. They secured a 1-0 victory against Cagliari, thanks to Dušan Vlahović’s decisive goal. With this win, Juventus climbs to fourth place with 49 points. The Bianconeri capitalized on Lazio’s misstep.  Lazio could only manage a draw against Venezia, leaving them at 47 points.

Cagliari’s run of positive results comes to an end, but they still hold a four-point cushion above the relegation zone. It was a well-earned victory for Juventus, although they missed several chances to extend their lead to 2-0 in the first half. Thiago Motta’s squad needs to work on managing their leads better, as they have often faced dramatic comebacks from opponents in similar situations.

Juventus will be back in action midweek for the Coppa Italia. They will face Empoli on Wednesday, and will return to league play on Monday, March 3, against Hellas Verona. Cagliari will take on Bologna at Dall’Ara on Sunday, March 2.

Juventus opened the scoring in the 12th minute when Dušan Vlahović found the back of the net with a precise left-footed shot into the bottom right corner. Taking advantage of a significant mistake by Mina on a back pass, Vlahović seized the opportunity, outmaneuvered Caprile, and slotted the ball home to put the visitors ahead.

✅   Stats before the game:

Since the start of the last decade in 2010, Cagliari has managed to secure just one victory out of 26 encounters with Juventus in Serie A, recording 5 draws and suffering 20 losses. Only Lazio, with 22 wins, has triumphed over the Sardinians more often during this time.

Cagliari has shown some resilience at home, remaining unbeaten in two of their last four matches against Juventus (1 win, 1 draw) after enduring eight straight defeats. Following a 2-2 draw in their most recent home game on April 19, 2024, they have a chance to remain unbeaten in two consecutive home matches against the Old Lady for the first time since 2006, when they had two draws in a row.

After ending 2024 with four consecutive losses, Cagliari has turned things around in the new year, losing only two of their seven Serie A matches (3 wins, 2 draws). Following a goalless draw in their last match, the Sardinians could achieve back-to-back clean sheets under the same coach for the first time since May 2021, when they were managed by Leonardo Semplici.

On the other hand, Juventus, who are riding a three-match winning streak, have not achieved four consecutive victories in Serie A since their five-match run from December 2023 to January 2024. Notably, the Bianconeri are the only team to have won all their matches in the tournament since February began, boasting a perfect record of 3 wins out of 3.

Player Stats

Prior to Randal Kolo Muani’s impressive start with five goals and one assist.  The last Juventus player to contribute to at least one goal in each of his first four Serie A matches was Kwadwo Asamoah back in 2012. In the past two decades, no player has achieved this feat in their first five games for Juventus. However, across all teams, the only player to do so was Krzysztof Piatek in 2018, with a remarkable seven contributions.
