Torino vs Cagliari Predictions

• Both teams have scored in four of Torino’s last five games.
• Meanwhile, each of Cagliari’s last four matches have seen both sides net.
• Despite Torino’s strong home record, they may not be worth backing after a four-match winless run.
• Three of the visitors’ last four games have finished 1-1.

Torino earn derby draw, but winless run continues

Ivan Juric’s Torino earned a highly creditable 1-1 draw against cross-city rivals Juventus last time out, a side they have only beaten once since 1995. However, Ivan Juric’s men have now gone four games without a win, and punters may not be overly keen on backing them against Walter Mazzarri’s Cagliari.

Torino do boast one of Serie A’s stronger home records, winning seven of their 13 games in Turin and netting 25 goals in the process, but that record was blighted by a 2–1 loss to Venezia a fortnight ago. Torino’s four-match winless run has seen them face three bottom-half opponents, and they only managed a draw against Cagliari in Sardinia, in an even contest in mid-December.

Cagliari, on the other hand, are unbeaten in four matches, despite a tough fixture list pitting them against Fiorentina, Atalanta, Napoli, and surprise package Empoli during that time. Cagliari drew three of those contests 1-1, and their newfound habit of grinding out results could prove crucial as Mazzarri looks to drag them clear of danger.

BTTS the safest play in Turin?

Given Torino’s poor run of form and Cagliari’s recent habit of earning unexpected results, punters may be best advised to ignore the win markets and to back both teams to score on Sunday.

Both sides have netted in four of the last five matches to feature Torino, and in six of the visitors’ last eight, making it the safest play ahead of this contest.

Meanwhile, a repeat of December’s 1-1 draw between the teams could be a good correct score play, with Cagliari recording 10 draws already this term.
