Salernitana vs Juventus: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Salernitana will host Juventus this Tuesday at the Stadio Arechi for their 21st-round game of the 2022/23 Serie A season.

Salernitana celebrated their first Serie A win in three months when they defeated Lecce by 2-1 in the last round. The result ended a run of seven games without a win (D2, L5) for the hosts and pushed them eight points above the relegation zone.

So they will come into this game with a measure of breathing space, given the point gap between them and the drop zone.

However, having conceded a league-high 38 goals and with their last league clean sheet now ten matches ago, they will be aware that their fight for safety is far from over.

While they held Juventus to a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture, their mediocre home form (W3, D3, L4) suggests that it will be another difficult outing for them. David Nicola’s men have not won at home against sides that started this round above them, so Juventus will fancy their chances here.

But the Old Lady will also know that it will not be easy here, having lost 2-0 to Monza in their last league outing. That loss means that they come into this tie just ten points from the relegation zone.

Ten points from the red line will be a massive gap for smaller teams, but for Massimiliano Allegri’s men, it is an embarrassment. The coach, after their most recent loss, demanded that his players must ‘be aware of the position in the table at this moment’. 

His fears are valid when you consider that Juventus have conceded ten goals in their current three-game winless Serie A run (D1, L2) compared with just seven goals from the 17 games prior.

But having beaten Lazio 1-0 in the Coppa Italia on Thursday, they will travel to the Campania region in a good mood. At the same time, four clean sheets from four away league matches against sides that started this round below them (W3, D1) puts them as the favourites here. 

So this game is likely to produce Under 2.5 Goals. But to get the Correct Score Prediction for this game, click here.
