Juventus vs Salernitana Prediction
Juventus are currently second in the league and have won four of their last five league games. After a disappointing season last time around, Juventus and manager Massimiliano Allegri, who at several points last season looked close to being sacked, have bounced back with some gritty performances, and are firmly embedded in the title race.
Juventus reached the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia last season and will hope to take the next step this time around. French midfielder Adrien Rabiot has done well this season, but it has been a team performance so far, with the likes of Dusan Vlahovic, Federico Chiesa, and even center-back Federico Gatti providing some key moments.
Salernitana, on the other hand, are bottom of the league table, having lost three of their last five league games. They have won two games in the league this season out of 18, with one of them coming in their last game against Hellas Verona.
Given the circumstances, the Coppa Italia might not be of the utmost importance to Salernitana. However, a strong performance against a good Juventus side will only improve their confidence, and a deep run in the cup would surely be well-received.
Juventus have done well this season and should have enough to emerge victorious here.
Prediction: Juventus 1-0 Salernitana
