In an Italian Serie A match, Torino will host Cagliari. Torino currently sits in 13th place with 20 points, having won 5, drawn 5, and lost 6 games. Cagliari is in 15th place with 15 points, with 3 wins, 6 draws, and 7 losses. Both teams are under pressure, with Torino aiming to solidify their mid-table position and Cagliari looking to move away from the relegation zone. Torino's recent form shows 2 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses in their last 6 league games, with a 33% win rate. They have performed relatively well at home. After a 1-0 away win against Sassuolo, their morale has improved, but defensive issues are apparent, conceding an average of 1.67 goals in their last 6 matches. Cagliari's form has been poor, with just 1 win, 3 draws, and 2 losses in their last 6 games. Their away record is particularly concerning, with no wins in their last 5 away matches (0 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses), and conceding 1.5 goals per game on average. The long-term absence of their key striker, Belotti, further diminishes their attacking threat. Torino's tactical approach involves utilising wing play and aerial attacks. However, they are hampered by the suspensions of defenders, including defenders and the absence of several key forwards due to injury, which will test their defensive depth. Cagliari's defence faces additional challenges: three defenders are injured, and Luvumbo is suspended, potentially making it difficult for their defensive counter-attacking system to withstand Torino's home offensive. In their last 10 encounters, Torino has a strong record, winning 5, drawing 3, and losing 2. They secured a 1-0 away victory earlier this season. Torino is unbeaten in their last 3 home matches against Cagliari, indicating a psychological advantage. The prediction for this match leans towards under 2.25 goals.
