The upcoming face-off between Juventus and Cagliari at the Allianz Stadium this Saturday is poised to witness a potential continuation of an impressive defensive streak.
Juventus, having secured a clean sheet in six consecutive matches, appears to be on the brink of extending this exceptional run.
Spearheaded by a resolute defensive line, bolstered by the exceptional form of Wojciech Szczesny, the team has transformed their defense into an impenetrable fortress.
The solidity of Juventus’ defense has been a collective effort, showcasing the team’s depth in talent.

Even with key players absent, the likes of Daniele Rugani, Federico Gatti, and Gleison Bremer have seamlessly filled critical positions, maintaining the team’s defensive integrity.
Surprisingly, there might be a potential “new entry” into the starting eleven against Cagliari. With Gatti walking a disciplinary tightrope ahead of the Inter Milan derby, coach Massimiliano Allegri could opt for Dean Huijsen.
Huijsen, who made his league debut against Milan at San Siro with admirable composure, might seize a significant opportunity in this clash.
Tuttosport suggests Huijsen could step into the limelight, awaiting Allegri’s final decision after demonstrating dedication and maximum effort during training sessions.
This match against Cagliari could mark a pivotal moment for Juventus, not just in extending their defensive record but potentially in offering a budding talent the chance to shine on the field.
