Juventus vs Salernitana Predictions

• Each of Salernitana’s last 10 league defeats has come by more than a one-goal margin.
• Juventus are unbeaten in 15 Serie A games.
• The Bianconeri beat Salernitana 2-0 in November’s return fixture.

Old Lady looking to bounce back

Wednesday’s shock 3-0 defeat to Villarreal represented Juventus’ third consecutive Champions League round-of-16 exit, but the Bianconeri have no time to stew on that reverse, remaining in the hunt for two domestic trophies as the season reaches its climax. A seven-point deficit to Milan means Juventus will need some favours along the way, but the Scudetto still remains in play for Massimiliano Allegri’s men.

Sunday’s home clash with Salernitana should represent the perfect opportunity for Allegri’s men to bounce back. Juve are unbeaten in 15 Serie A matches, while their visitors have won just one of their last 17 in the competition. Juventus were unfortunate on Wednesday after bossing possession and managing 14 shots to Villareal’s six, but should get plenty more chances on Sunday.

Indeed, Salernitana have improved of late, drawing five of their last six, but remain comfortably the worst defensive outfit in Serie A. Salernitana’s record of 66 goals conceded is far worse than any other team in the division, and they have conceded 20 goals in their last eight games despite making offensive improvements.

Back Juventus for a handsome win

Salernitana’s last 10 league defeats have all seen them beaten by more than a one-goal margin, with a 5-0 hammering at Inter a fortnight ago representing their latest mauling. Backing Juventus to beat a -1 handicap, as they did in November’s return fixture, looks a strong play.

Meanwhile, a 3-0 home win could represent a decent correct score prediction, with the visitors being the only Serie A side to average more than two goals conceded per game this term.

Bianconeri striker Dusan Vlahovic was unfortunate not to net against Villareal in midweek, and after a four-game goal drought, will be desperate to get on the scoresheet. He looks to be worth backing on the anytime goalscorer market.
