SlipsTips Tips: Juventus vs Spezia

SlipsTips takes a look at the Bet Builder market ahead of Juventus' meeting with Spezia in Serie A on Tuesday.

Juventus vs Spezia (Tuesday, 19:45)

Juventus' hopes of securing a tenth consecutive Serie A crown were dealt a huge blow as they were held to a 1-1 draw at Hellas Verona on Saturday

That setback left the Old Lady trailing league leaders Inter by ten points, albeit having played one game less than Antonio Conte's pacesetters.

Andrea Pirlo's posse will look to reduce those arrears when Spezia pitch up at the Allianz Stadium on Tuesday night.

Vincenzo Italiano's spirited side have been among the surprise packages in Serie A this season and they arrive in Turin after staging a terrific second-half comeback to draw 2-2 with Parma on Saturday.

Juventus are heavily fancied to get back on track here at a general 2/9 but I'll get a bit more creative and head to Bet 365's Bet Builder market.

If we combine over one Juventus goal and over one Spezia card we will be presented with a backable 4/5 punt with Bet 365.

Juventus have won each of their last five Serie A home matches and it's worth mentioning that the reigning champions have made the net bulge at least twice in each of those triumphs.

What's more, the Italian giants have notched up two or more strikes in 8/11 league matches at the Allianz this term, while Spezia have shipped 12 goals across their last four Serie A road trips.

With that in mind, coupled with the fact that Juventus are entering must-win territory here, I'm more than happy to back the star-studded hosts to hit the back of the net twice on Tuesday night.

In order to boost the Bet Builder to 4/5 (Bet 365), I'll add in over one Spezia card – Italiano's men are the most ill-disciplined team in Italy this season with their 3.1 yellow card per game average.

I'm therefore happy to back the battle-hardened visitors to collect at least a couple of cautions on Tuesday night and it's also worth noting that Spezia have received two or more cards in an eye-watering 91% of their fixtures this season so far.
