Cagliari v Juventus preview: Visitors can prove cut above

Competition: Italy Serie A
Date: Tue 02.April
Match begins: 19:00 (UTC)
Venue: Sardegna Arena (16233 seats)

This could be an interesting match as Cagliari have their presumed home advantage while Juventus are ahead 45 points in the Serie A table.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago. Juventus have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
