Juventus
Juventus look to be on the right track after a run of impressive results in recent weeks; they are unbeaten in their last five games across all competitions (W4 D1)
They are also coming on the back of a comprehensive 2-0 win over Bologna, with Alvaro Morata and Juan Cuadrado finding the scoresheet.
Morata is slowly finding his feet after scoring 3 goals in the last 4 league games. The Spaniard will look to continue his impressive form on Tuesday.
The game against Cagliari is a great chance for Max Allegri’s side to get near the top four of the table, as they are currently seventh with 31 points.
Federico Chiesa remains a long-term absentee while talisman Paulo Dybala hasn’t recovered from his injury yet.
Possible Juventus line-up
Wojciech Szczesny (GK); Alex Sandro, Leonardo Bonucci, Matthijs De Ligt, Mattia De Sciglio; Arthur, Rodrigo Bentancur; Kaio Jorge, Federico Bernardeschi, Juan Cuadrado; Alvaro Morata
Injured: Luca Pellegrini, Giorgio Chiellini, Paulo Dybala, Federico Chiesa, Danilo, Aaron Ramsey
Doubtful: Manuel Locatelli

Cagliari

Despite the club’s disastrous form, Joao Pedro has been impressive this season, racking up 9 goals and 3 assists.
Possible Cagliari line-up
Wojciech Szczesny (GK); Alex Sandro, Leonardo Bonucci, Matthijs De Ligt, Mattia De Sciglio; Arthur, Rodrigo Bentancur; Kaio Jorge, Federico Bernardeschi, Juan Cuadrado; Alvaro Morata
