Torino vs Cagliari Prediction & Betting Tips (21 August)

Torino had a fairly quiet last season, ending in 10th place in Serie A. Too far from the last European places, the Piedmontese team, on the other hand, was never worried about relegation. Ivan Juric's men displayed very good dispositions at the end of the championship.

Indeed, they have only lost against 2 cadors Atalanta and Inter during the last 9 days. Eager to start this new exercise in the best possible way, Torino dominated FeralpiSalo at home last weekend in the Italian Cup 2-1.

For Torino, the executive defender passed by Nantes Djidji remains unavailable, injured. Also absent last Monday in the Italian Cup, the substitutes Zima (defender) and Seck (attacker) are, for their part, uncertain. During the off-season, the sector was weakened with the departures of the important Singo (Monaco) and Aina (Nottingham Forest). In order to compensate for the departure of Singo, the side passed by Bordeaux Bellanova (ex-Inter) has arrived. We also note the recruitments of Hellas Verona Ilic and Tamèze circles. On loan from Atalanta last year, Russian attacking midfielder Miranchuk was not retained. Author of a good season last year, striker Sanabria (12 goals and 4 assists in SA) should once again play an important role. This is also the case of Croatian Vlasic (5 goals and 6 assists in SA). Holders in the Italian Cup, Ilic and Ricci could again compose the midfield.

Cagliari must deal with some major absences on Monday. We think first of all of the home striker Lapadula. The midfield is also weakened with the withdrawals of the important Mancosu and Rog. No major elements left the club this summer. On the other hand, the promoted tried to strengthen himself by engaging the side Augello (ex-Sampdoria), the goalkeeper Scuffet (ex-Cluj) and the midfielders Prati (ex-SPAL) and Sulemana (ex-Hellas Verona). In addition, Uzbek Roma striker Shomurodov arrived on loan, as did winger Jankto (Getafe). Top scorer in Serie B last year with 21 goals, the Peruvian international Lapadula is the main attacking asset of this formation. Unfortunately, it is forfeited on Monday.
