Juventus will be back in action in Serie A on Tuesday evening, as they look to end a three-game winless run. Salernitana will be the hosts this week, as they bid to record a second straight victory and move above the Old Lady in the standings.
Serie A Preview
It has been a difficult period for Juventus, and things don’t seem to be showing too much evidence of altering. The Old Lady come into this fixture on the road sitting 13th in the standings following their points deduction, and they are now 15 points adrift of the top four positions in the Serie A standings.
Of course, it remains a huge outside chance, but the fact that Juventus has gone three without a win in Italy has also seen them gravitate toward the relegation places. At present, they sit just ten points above the bottom three at the half way stage. A second league defeat in three outings was suffered in their previous fixture, as the Old Lady were beaten 2-0 at home by Monza.
Salernitana will have the opportunity to move above their prestigious rivals in the Serie A standings this week, as they are currently just two points below Juventus. The hosts have won just five games all season, but they have ended a poor run of form recently.
Salernitana were fine 2-1 winners on the road last week, as Boulaye Dia and Tonny Vihenna scored the goals in a rare win on the road. That victory was a huge boost to their survival chances, and they now sit eight points above the drop zone. However, draws have been an issue throughout the campaign, as only Cremonese in the bottom five positions has been held on more occasions.
Salernitana vs Juventus Head to Head
Salernitana’s record against Juventus is pretty underwhelming, as they have claimed just a single victory in their previous seven meetings with the Old Lady. Juventus has picked up four wins over the same period. However, the previous meeting this term did end in a 2-2 draw.
Salernitana vs Juventus Prediction
The fact that Juventus has picked up just a single point from their previous three league matches is a massive concern. Salernitana will feel confident after their previous win in Serie A. However, we find it incredibly hard to see past the Old Lady, as a response could come on Tuesday.
