The Italian top flight action also continues on Sunday and features the clash between Juventus and Salernitana when the two teams meet at the Allianz Stadium with the hosts looking to extend their impressive unbeaten run in Serie A.
Juventus have put together a solid and impressive unbeaten sequence which spans across 15 matches overall and this has helped the Old Lady up into 4th place of Serie A and one of the automatic Champions League spots for next season.
10 wins within these 15 games has also given Juventus a useful looking seven-point cushion over 5th placed Lazio and these results have also had a positive effect upon Juventus’s form and results on home turf at their Allianz Arena as well.
Sunday’s hosts have suffered just the three defeats at home throughout the whole of this season’s Serie A campaign amidst a solid looking home record of W8, D3, L3 which also includes being unbeaten in their last seven games in their own backyard as well.
Interestingly, seven of Juventus’s eight home wins to date have also seen the hosts keep clean sheets too.
Salernitana sit rock-bottom of the Italian domestic top flight with just 16 points under their belts and the visitors now find themselves a significant nine-point margin adrift of safety ahead of this extremely tough looking trip to take on Juventus on Sunday afternoon.
Salernitana are without a win in Serie A in their previous eight matches overall which consists of five draws and three defeats.
While the bigger picture shows that the visitors have managed to scrape together just one win out of their previous 17 games.
That rare win came in the form of a 2-1 win away from home at Hellas Verona but 10 defeats within this woeful 17-match sequence has only contributed to Salernitana’s almost certain relegation from the Italian top flight.
Historically, Salernitana have also tended to struggle badly on their outings on the road in Serie A as the visitors have managed to pick up just two victories on their travels in what has been an extremely disappointing campaign, these wins being at Venezia and Verona.
In addition, six of Salernitana’s nine defeats have also been to nil and they look to have their work cut out at Juventus on Sunday as well.
