Cagliari
- Cagliari are 16th in Serie A with 37 points from 36 games.
- These two sides are both in mixed form but will still be desperate for the points on Sunday as they face off in a Serie A fixture that has a large bearing on the table at both the bottom and the mid-table.
- Fabio Pisacane has done a good job with Cagliari so far, bringing a tactical discipline and a focus on young players to the Sardinian side since taking over in June 2025.
- They have won 6, drawn 4 and lost eight of their 18 home games in Serie A this term, scoring 1.11 goals and conceding 1.22 on average.
Torino
- Torino FC are 12th in Serie A with 44 points from 36 games.
- Torino FC have improved since Roberto D’Aversa took over in February 2026, making them more compact at the back and more acute on the break.
Head-to-Head
A draw seems the most likely result on Sunday as both teams have won twice and drawn once in their past five Serie A H2H meetings, with the sides having very similar recent records and form guides.
Key Players
Cagliari have found a reliable goalscorer in Paul Mendy , who has scored two of their four goals across the last five games , while Simeone has been Torino’s best striker by some distance, scoring 11 Serie A goals in 30 games .
Betting Insights
- However, we’re going to chance an Over 2.5 goals pick, given the importance of the game to both sides.
- The home form of Cagliari is slightly encouraging for the home side, who have won two of their last three at Unipol Domus, but Torino are clearly better away from home than their average suggests, which is why we’re settling for the draw at 3.25.
- Torino have also failed to win in their last two on the road (D1, L1) but both of these sides can and do score goals at home and away, respectively.
- We’re also going for Both Teams to Score - No because at least one of these two teams will struggle to unlock the other’s defence, despite those meetings averaging 2.0 goals per game at this venue.
Prediction
- Most likely outcome: Draw.
- Primary bet: Draw (3.25).
- Alternate bet:Over 2.5 goals and Both Teams to Score - No.
