Juventus vs Salernitana Prediction and Match Preview

Juventus vs Salernitana Match Preview

Juventus will finally get a proper opportunity to arrest the current slump in form. They host rock-bottomed Salernitana on Sunday afternoon in Matchday No 36 at Allianz Stadium. The gulf in quality between the two teams is massive. Anything but a comprehensive victory for the hosts would represent a huge upset.

• Salernitana lost 15 and drew 3 of the last 18 games across competitions.
• Dusan Vlahovic is Juve’s top scorer with 16 goals to his name in this term of Serie A.
• Salernitana shipped at least two goals in each of the previous six league fixtures.

Juventus made it five successive matches without a win last weekend by playing a 1-1 stalemate to Roma in the capital. They are now just two points above 4^th-placed Bologna. Max Allegri and his troops can ill afford another slip-up, especially not in the home clash with the worst team in the division.

Salernitana have been relegated for quite a while. They firmly hold the very foot of the league standings with just 15 points from 35 matches. The latest of their failures happened on Monday when Atalanta completed a second-half comeback in a 2-1 victory in Salerno.

Recent Meetings

• Juventus have dominated this matchup historically. They’ll go into this on the back of six wins, one draw, and one loss in eight clashes with Salernitana.
• The Bianconeri picked up a 2-1 victory in this season’s clash in Salerno back in January this year.
• We’ve seen at least three goals in each of the previous four head-to-head games.

Juventus vs Salernitana Prediction

Salernitana are winless in 18 straight matches across competitions. They’ve lost 15 and drawn 3 games along the way. The lack of defensive meticulousness has been the main source of Salernitana’s problems this season.

The team led by Stefano Colantuono shipped at least two goals in each of the last six league fixtures. This will be the music to the ears of Juve’s top scorer Dusan Vlahovic.

The Serbian forward has 16 goals to his name this season. He wants to boost his confidence ahead of the appearance at the 2024 EURO in Germany with his national team. We see the value in backing Vlahovic to score the first goal of the game at the odds of 3.40.

Juventus should control the happenings on the pitch from the first whistle on Sunday. We fully expect them to remove all doubts about the winner of the game by the half-time break. In these circumstances, we fancy the 2.10 odds offered for two or more goals to be scored in the first half of the game.
