JUV Vs CAG Dream11 Probable Playing 11 And Match Report: Second placed Juventus look to keep snapping at Inter Milan’s heels.
We have made changes to our Dream11 Team after the lineups were announced:
OUT: R D Andrade, M d Ligt, Danilo, M D Scigilo
IN: W Szczesny, J Cuadrado, A Sandro, S Walukiewicz
Much like the previous couple of seasons, when the 2019-29 edition of Serie A made an advent into the footballing fraternity, the side were heavily touted to once again be the dominant force. However, the biggest takeaway from 2019 was the resurgence of Inter Milan, a team which not only stunned the ardent supporters of the league with is vigour but more so Juventus.
Occupying first spot in the points tally with a superior goal difference as compared to that of Juventus’, the set of events which transpired in the bygone year saw Juventus being massively berated. It was not just due to the fact that they failed to end the year in the pinnacles of the league standings but rather their laggard brand of football which has been smeared by their raucous supporters.
They just about managed to squirm their way to a 2-1 win in the foregone contest, a result which will propel Cagliari when they take on Juventus for this one. Where Juventus are need of the three points, a win is equally pivotal for Cagliari with the club coming into this one having been defeated 2-1 by Udinese to register their second defeat on the bounce.
Probable Winner
Things won’t be simple for Juventus by any mean today but Cagliari’s struggling defence should see them emerge with a win on the day. They come bestowed with staunch names, players who know just what it takes to succeed on the biggest stage of them all.

JUV Vs CAG Dream11 Goal-Keeper
In the absence of their main goal-keeper, Rafael De Andrade has been handed over the role of being his side’s pick in between the sticks and will be our choice for this one. Both the sides have faltered defensively off late and what alluded us towards his selection was his ability to parry away shots with ease.
JUV Vs CAG Dream11 Defenders
While Sarri has never been revered for his defensive acumen, the calibre of defenders he has in his side can’t be questioned. And prior to their last couple of encounters, the side were one of the most responsible and disciplined defensive units with 17 goals let in 17 encounters.
And if any side is going to have any chance of registering a cleansheet on the day, it’s going to be the home unit to see us make this ambit of our side all about the picks from Juventus. We are beginning with CB Matthijs de Ligt with the player having scored the lone goal for his side as well this term.
Both the fullbacks, Mattia De Sciglio and Alex Sandro have been handed down advanced roles in the side’s attacking sorties to see them come in as well from the unit.
JUV Vs CAG Dream11 Midfielders
We have an entire trio of names being roped into our nit from the visiting setup. A major reason for the side tasting such consummate success this season has been down to their ability to find the goal with ease with the side raking up a pristine 33 goals this season.
And when they on a Juventus side which is wavering at the moment, Cagliari will be looking to emanate yet another lethal attacking display. The flair filled trio of Nainggolan, Marko Rog and Luca Cigarini will be at the forefront of the side’s attacking travails, names who’ll give Juventus’ defence massive food for thought on the day.
Elsewhere, from Juventus we had two viable options with Ramsey and Miralem Pjanic both being available to us. What emoted us towards Pjanic for the day was his role in both corners and freekicks to see us go in with the midfielder for the day.
JUV Vs CAG Dream11 Strikers
The most heavily discussed component of our Dream 11 side, opting for names over here was the trickiest job for us on the day. We begin with the regulation pick of Cristiano Ronaldo, the easiest name to move in for with the player leading the ranks of goal scorers for his side this season with the 10 goals.
Elsewhere, we had to decide between Paolo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain from the home side with both having been imperious this term. Where Dybala has the 5 goals, Gonzalo Higuain has returned with 4 with us deciding to stick with Dybala owing to his ability to last the full 90 minutes.
From the opposition meanwhile we are venturing in with 11 goal man Joao Pedro with Simeone unfortunately missing out despite scoring the five times for his side this season.
Captain And Vice-Captain
Ronaldo will be our side’s captain for this one while Dybala is our vice-captain.
