We’re back with another week of Serie A football and tomorrow night, we’ll be treated to a bottom half collision that features two teams who should probably be looking much higher than where they’re at right now. Salernitana will welcome Juventus in a blockbuster clash for the hosts, whereas the visitors will just be hoping that they can make a good account of themselves in what has been a crazy season.

Salernitana

After surviving by the skin of their teeth last season, Salernitana have made sure to prioritise investment during the last two transfer windows. Alas, they continue to struggle, especially when it comes to letting games get away from them in the blink of an eye. The stress of second season syndrome is lingering over their heads but when the fans really get behind them, they can achieve just about anything.

Team News

Fazio, Maggiore, Gyomber and Mazzocchi have all been ruled out of this one with no fresh changes expected.

Juventus

After starting to look like they could contend for the title again, a morale-destroying loss to Napoli a few weeks back appears to have really rocked Juventus. The Old Lady is feeling the pinch after having 15 points deducted, leaving their campaign in peril. Still, they’ve been in a position like this one before, and they always seem to fight their way back into contention one way or the other – no matter how long it takes.

Team News

Pogba, Milik, Jorge and Bonucci are the big names that will be missing for this trip.

Factors to Consider

• In their last meeting back in September, Juventus drew 2-2 with Salernitana.
• Salernitana have won one, drawn one and lost four of their last six games.
• Juventus have won three, drawn one and lost two of their last six games.
• Salernitana have scored six goals and conceded 17 in their last six games.
• Juventus have scored eight goals and conceded 11 in their last six games.

Conclusion

It’s a battle between two sides that can’t seem to stop leaking goals at the back and, by default, it’s not hard to picture this one being quite chaotic in the final third. Juve have allowed themselves to slip down the table but within the context of this game, we think they’re well suited to get a much needed away win. We’re backing them to beat Salernitana 2-1, ensuring they vault back towards the top half.
