Sports Mole predicts Juventus’ 1-0 win over Cagliari on Sunday 11 October as the Sardinians start two points clear of the Bianconeri after five rounds of Serie A.
Cagliari have collected 12 points and sit one point below the top of the table, doing so more than they did on their regular early season trip. Meanwhile, “Juventus” was trying to stop the home team’s momentum and close the gap with the surprise opponent.
Sports Mole’s case for a Juventus win
The prediction points to Juventus’ away record: their defeat at Sassuolo was their only defeat in eight Serie A away matches last season. Sports Mole also suggest that Cagliari have only had two passing chances and claim that the three-week international break could halt their good run.
This prediction is a very narrow prediction rather than a call for comfortable ride performance. A single goal would be enough to separate the sides, with the prediction pointing to Juventus capitalizing on Cagliari’s defensive record to give way in the end.

An important early test in the tournament
Sports Mole describe Cagliari as a surprise package looking down on their famous visitors. Their position, just one point off first place and two clear of Juventus, gives the Sardinians a chance to build on their fast start, while leaving the Bianconeri with an immediate opportunity to reduce the deficit.
The match is part of Sunday’s schedule, which also sends Roma to Como and AC Milan to Sassuolo. Juventus’ recent 2-0 win over Atalanta provides the most recent league result going into the away game; The Atalanta match also drew attention to the side’s form before this away test.
Squad availability should be considered separately from Sports Mole’s prediction: its compilation does not confirm lineups or report injury updates. RotoWire has published provisional team projections and injury data, but there are inconsistencies in its ranking output and should not be mistaken for confirmed picks. Juventus’ injury situation remains relevant for future team news, while the Sassuolo match offers the latest context for the away record behind Sports Mole’s challenge.
