After winning five games from six without conceding a goal, Juventus have announced themselves as genuine Scudetto contenders, and they tackle in-form Cagliari on Saturday evening.
Juve have ascended to second in the Serie A standings by grimly grinding out results; meanwhile, their Sardinian counterparts have scored eight times across three recent wins.
No team has recorded more clean sheets than the Bianconeri across Europe's top five leagues - eight, alongside Ligue 1 club Nice - and their current streak of six on the spin represents the best such tally since they posted eight-in-a-row themselves between October 2022 and January 2023.
Max Allegri's men most recently shut up shop against Fiorentina at Stadio Artemio Franchi, where Fabio Miretti's early goal on the break provided a platform for the visitors to sit deep and frustrate their dominant hosts last weekend.
Having also won the Turin derby and beaten title rivals Milan of late, Juventus are a force to be reckoned with this season - and their year-long ban from UEFA competition seems to have been a blessing in disguise.
