Torino vs Cagliari Prediction
Torino come into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw at the Artemio Franchi in Florence against Fiorentina, despite being down to ten men for an hour of that game. The home team have drawn their last four matches and that means they have managed just one win in their last 12 matches in Serie A with that win coming as a result of a Che Adams strike from the half-way line. They now face a Cagliari side that have collected seven points from their last three matches with the Sardinians most recently hammering Lecce by four goals to one last weekend with all four goals coming at 1-0 down in the second-half thanks to goals from Gianluca Gaetano, Sebastiano Luperto, Nadir Zortea and Adam Obert. They are in good form but the value bet remains to side with Torino for this one.
Torino vs Cagliari Tip: Double chance – Torino to win or draw
