Juventus will look to continue their solid form in Serie A when they head to Stadio Arechi to take on Salernitana on Sunday afternoon. These sides are at opposite ends of the league table, with the hosts currently at the foot while the visitors are second. The 2023-24 season has been a bit of a nightmare for Salernitana. They have managed just 12 points in 18 matches and have been at the bottom of the standings since September last year. Notably, these two sides met on Thursday night in the Coppa Italia and Salernitana were thrashed 6-1 as they exited the domestic cup. The hosts did manage a rare victory in their final game of 2023, beating Verona 1-0 on the road. That result snapped up a four-match winless run in the league and marked just their second victory this season. The hosts have the worst defense in the league this season, with 36 goals conceded, and have only maintained one clean sheet in their 18 league games. Salernitana are the clear outsiders here. 

Meanwhile, without European football this season, Juventus look determined to challenge for the league title. And they have been making a good fist of it so far as they have taken 43 points from the first 18 games and are trailing league leaders Inter Milan by just two points as things stand. I bianconeri’s 6-1 win in midweek extended their recent run of results to three wins in a row in all competitions, while they have not tasted defeat in their last 14. During that time, Juve notched up 11 wins and three draws while keeping eight clean sheets in the process. The visitors are also unbeaten in their last six away games, including four wins and two draws. Juventus won the last league match between these sides 3-0 last season and are unbeaten in their last four against this opponent in all competitions. The Zebras will be expecting nothing less than three points in this one.
