Torino vs Cagliari. Prediction (odds 3.25) and bets on the Serie A match

Current form

Torino approached the start of the season as a contender for a ticket to the European Cups - the bulls were certainly not the favorites in the upcoming race, but the selection of players quite allowed them to set such ambitious goals. The opening segment of the championship gave the fans optimism - Paolo Vanoli team regularly took points and even spent some time at the top of the table.

However, after Duvan Zapata injury, Torino suddenly slowed down, the team psychological state sank and a rapid fall down the table began. Since the moment when the Turin team successful streak was interrupted, and this happened at the end of September, the Bulls have won only two victories in the championship, simultaneously flying out of the Cup, through which they also had a chance to get into the Europa League.

Torino currently sits 11th in the table with 23 points and is 10 points behind sixth-placed Fiorentina, with the Violets still having a game in hand, a handicap that virtually eliminates their chances of competing for European Cups. In the last round, the Bulls, while playing with a man down, snatched a 1-1 draw from Fiorentina, thus extending their winless streak to five matches.

Disqualifications and injuries

Dembele is disqualified. Schuurs, Zapata, Savva, Ilhan, Sosa, Ilic are injured.

Interesting trends for betting

• Torino have not won in their last five matches – a defeat and four draws
• Torino have scored in three of their last four matches
• Torino have scored against Cagliari in nine of their last 10 matches

Probable line-up: Milinkovic-Savic – Pedersen, Coco, Maripan, Masina – Lazaro, Ricci, Gineitis, Karamoh – Vlasic – Adams.

Current form

Cagliari approached the start of the season as one of the main candidates for relegation from Serie A – the selection of players did not allow them to set more ambitious goals than maintaining their place in Serie A. Quite expectedly, the Rossoblu encountered problems from the very start and immediately settled at the bottom of the tournament table, only occasionally putting up exciting home matches.

Cagliari spent the entire first half of the season at this pace – falling into the relegation zone and periodically climbing out of it. However, overall, the Rossoblu do not give the impression of a hopeless outsider and take points quite regularly at home, so far Davide Nicola has no reason to sound the alarm, which is why the Sardinians are not very active in the winter transfer window.

At the moment, Cagliari is in 14th place in the table with 21 points, but at the same time it is only two points ahead of 18th Verona - there is a risk of returning there in the very near future. In the last round, Cagliari met Lecce at home and lost 0:1 in the first half to a direct competitor, but in the second half of the match they scored four goals against the opponent and won 4:1, extending the series without defeat to three matches.

Disqualifications and injuries

Chochi and Luvumbu are injured.

Interesting trends for betting

• Cagliari have not lost in their last three matches – two wins and a draw
• Cagliari have scored in their last three matches
• Cagliari have suffered just one defeat against Torino in their last five matches

Estimated line-up: Caprile - Zappa, Mina, Luperto, Augello - Adopo, Macumbu - Zortea, Gaetano, Felici - Piccoli.
