Juventus are still attempting to get some traction on their campaign as they host Salernitana in a Serie A fixture. Salernitana have made a decent start to the season but are still expected to find things difficult at the home of the former champions.
Juventus are still unbeaten in Serie A, although the season has not started the way they would have liked. They have claimed two wins and three draws from five matches so far and are currently outside the top four places.
The Turin club were held to a 1-1 draw at Fiorentina in their previous Serie A fixture with Arkadiusz Milik scoring the opener. Massimiliano Allegri’s men followed that up with a 2-1 defeat in their opening Champions League fixture on Tuesday.
The good news for Juventus is that they are still solid at the Allianz Stadium, where their two wins have come this season. They also attempt to keep things tight at the back in front of their fans, keeping clean sheets in both wins.
Having narrowly escaped the drop last season, Salernitana will be pleased with their start to this campaign. They are currently sitting in mid-table and are unbeaten since the opening weekend.
While it has been a generally solid start to the season for Salernitana, they have only claimed one win from their five matches. They were held to a 2-2 draw by Empoli in their previous fixture with Pasquale Mazzocchi and Boulaye Dia getting the goals.
One problem that has persisted for Salernitana is their poor record on the road as they are yet to secure an away win this season. Davide Nicola’s men have also claimed just two wins from their last 11 away matches in Serie A stretching back to last term.

The bookies have installed Juventus as overwhelming favourites with a home win priced at 5/12 by Betfred. An unlikely victory for Salernitana is valued at 17/2 by BetVictor while SBK is offering odds of 37/10 for a draw.
