Juventus are fresh from winning their ninth consecutive Serie A title and will travel to Cagliari on Wednesday evening to begin wrapping up the season's formalities. It was Cristiano Ronaldo who gave Juventus the lead in their 2-0 victory over Sampdoria that guaranteed them the Scudetto before the season was over.
Meanwhile, Cagliari, who are languishing at 14th place on the table, have not tasted success even once in their last 8 games. They had lost 4-0 to Juventus in the corresponding away fixture and will be hoping that Wednesday won't be a repeat of the same.
