This Friday’s Serie A action sees Cagliari make the trip to face Torino at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. This is a crucial match for the away side as they will want to keep as far away from the relegation zone as possible.
Torino are in good form heading into this game, going unbeaten in their last four consecutive games, even though they might all have been draws. Cagliari on the other hand have gone three games without a loss, including two wins from those games. They also recently managed to hold AC Milan to a 1-1 stalemate just two games ago. If they play like they did then this Friday, it could be set to be an interesting game.
Formation: 5-3-2
Predicted Line-Up: Vanja Milinković-Savić; Borna Sosa, Saúl Coco, Guillermo Maripán, Sebastian Walukiewicz, Valentino Lazaro; Nikola Vlašić, Karol Linetty, Samuele Ricci (c); Yann Karamoh, Ché Adams
Torino have had a decent start to the season, finding themselves just outside the top half of the table now coming towards the second half of the campaign. After 21 games they sit in 11th place with five wins, eight losses and eight draws. Those matches have left them with 23 points, sharing that tally with 12th place Genoa but goal difference is the reason as to why they are not lower down in the standings. Stepping up this season for Il Toro has been striker Ché Adams. The Scotsman is relishing in his first season in Italy, finding the back of the net five times, accompanied with two assists, making him the top goal contributor for the club. It isn’t just Adams that can provided goals in this Torino squad though as they have a plethora of players capable of grabbing a goal this Friday, including former West Ham midfielder Nikola Vlašić.
Formation: 4-4-1-1
Predicted Line-Up: Elia Caprile; Adam Obert, Sebastiano Luperto, Yerry Mina, Gabriele Zappa; Mattia Felici, Antoine Makoumbou, Michel Adopo, Nadir Zortea; Nicolas Viola (c); Roberto Piccoli
Cagliari are having an rough start to the season, finding themselves dangerously close to the relegation zone. After 21 games they sit in 14th place with five wins, 10 losses and six draws. Those matches have left them with 21 points, leaving them two points ahead of the drop zone but also only three points away from climbing as high as 11th place, pending a win and results across the Serie A going their way. In the goals for Rossoblù has been striker Roberto Piccoli and midfielder Nadir Zortea. They have put their names upon the scoresheet five times this season in the 21 games they’ve featured in. With Cagliari in poor form, the duo of Piccoli and Zortea might be their best shot at trying to grab three points this Friday.
The last five faceoffs have been split in the favour of Cagliari, winning and drawing twice with a win doing Torino’s way. This Friday seems like it could sway in the favour for Torino though, weighing up each team's form.

Torino's constant drawing most come to an end soon but they have managed to hold out to difficult opponents so this Friday in theory should be an easier match. Despite their problems in the Serie A, Cagliari have still found themselves grabbing a goal in four out of their last five matches, there’s no reason why they can’t do that again.
