This is a massive relegation six-pointer between two clubs who did not expect to still be in the bottom four with the quality at their disposal.
Eusebio Di Francesco is increasingly frustrated after Cagliari ‘allowed Atalanta no shots on target for 70 minutes and ended empty-handed.’ The Sardinians capitulated at the 90th minute when substitute Luis Muriel squirmed between two defenders to score at the near post. “It’s a pity because we keep putting in these excellent performances, we allowed Atalanta no shots on target for 70 minutes, we dominated the first half, yet we once again end the game empty-handed,” the coach told media. “If you are concentrated for 93 minutes, then you make an error at the 94th, it all counts for nothing. It was a positioning error on the goal, but before that, we had caused Atalanta huge problems and Radja Nainggolan did so well behind the strikers. We’re naïve and only under pressure for the final 15 minutes. Before that, we created the chances, but the final ball was often not the right one. These things happen, there are moments when it doesn’t go your way, but this moment has been going on for too long now. ”
Cagliari is without a win since November 7, amassing a pitiful five points from the last 15 rounds, yet there were signs of life with narrow defeats to Atalanta and Lazio. Cagliari is desperate for points and has entered a retreat ahead of the match against Torino on Friday night. The Rossoblu are 18th in Serie A after back-to-back defeats to Lazio and Atalanta in the League, and pressure mounts on coach Eusebio Di Francesco. Reports in Italy claim he has one last chance against struggling Torino despite his contract extension and a win over Davide Nicola’s men would see the Rossoblu climb out of the relegation zone. A defeat on Friday will mean the gap up to safety increases to five points.
Cagliari (3-4-2-1): Cragno; Walukiewicz, Rugani, Godin; Zappa, Nandez, Marin, Lykogiannis; Nainggolan, Joao Pedro; Simeone
Suspended: None
Injured: Rog, Sottil
As for Torino, sacking Marco Giampaolo to bring in Davide Nicola has stopped the rot to an extent, but five consecutive draws won’t get them very far. January signing Antonio Sanabria is still out with COVID-19, but Simone Verdi challenges Simone Zaza for the role of Andrea Belotti’s strike partner. Genoa had the best scoring opportunities in Turin, including Davide Zappacosta off the upright, but Torino held on for a fifth consecutive stalemate. The Granata remain unbeaten under Davide Nicola, while Davide Ballardini has completely transformed the Grifone’s fortunes. Zappacosta almost got the decisive goal against his former club, but the strike cannoned off the inside of the post. Salvatore Sirigu kept out the other big chance, using his foot to parry from Lennart Czyborra.
Torino (3-5-2): Sirigu; Izzo, Nkoulou, Bremer; Singo, Rincon, Mandragora, Lukic, Ansaldi; Verdi, Belotti
Suspended: None
Injured: Sanabria

Toro could register six consecutive Serie A stalemates for the first time since 1967. Both teams to score is the most reasonable betting option.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
