Meanwhile, Juventus hasn't been shy either, generating an impressive 16.2 shots per game away. With both teams amassing corner totals that suggest a flurry of activity, expect the corners to pile up quickly. Cagliari’s defensive style leads to a high frequency of fouls and corner kicks, while Juventus, with their relentless pressing, will look to exploit any gaps. The combination of Cagliari's home offensive pressure and Juventus's attacking intent makes the 'Over 8.5' corners a tantalizing prospect. With both sides averaging around 1.6 corners per game recently, it’s easy to see why this total is not just achievable but likely to be exceeded.
