Juventus vs Salernitana prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2024-05-11 16:00.
[p]A 1-1 draw at fellow Serie A top-five contenders Roma made it four successive stalemates for Juventus, who are nevertheless now close to claiming a much sought-after spot in the UEFA Champions League. However, only three wins in their last 16 competitive matches (D8, L5) is definitely not a reason for celebrations and there are rumours that even a possible triumph in the upcoming Coppa Italia final against Atalanta will not save manager Massimiliano Allegri’s job for next season![/p]
[p]This weekend, the Bianconeri are at least back at home, where they have kept a clean sheet in four consecutive games (W2, D2) and will seek the ideal preparation for that Coppa Italia showdown next week. The arrival of already-relegated Salernitana does not necessarily promise victory though, as Juventus have won only one of their three league matches at the Allianz Stadium in 2023/24 against teams starting this round 17th or worse (D1, L1).[/p]
[p]With their relegation to Serie B already confirmed, Salernitana seemed relaxed last time out as they took an early lead against Atalanta, but eventually suffered their 24th defeat of the league season (2-1) and need to pick up three more points to surpass the lowest final points tally in a Serie A campaign (Chievo’s total of 17 in 2018/19).[/p]
[p]That seems quite a big task to accomplish, as after this match, they play relegation-battling Hellas Verona and second-placed AC Milan, so any other points will come as somewhat of a surprise for Stefano Colantuono’s men. This lack of expectation is perhaps explained by Salernitana’s recent record, as they have suffered four consecutive away defeats in which they’ve conceded 3+ goals each time, while a joint-league low 11 goals on their travels across the season shows they’ve got issues at both ends of the pitch.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Juventus defender Gleison Bremer needed to step up again for his side’s blunt attack last weekend, with three of his last four goals arriving after the break. Meanwhile, Loum Tchaouna gave hope to Salernitana with his opener against Atalanta on Monday – his third successive goal scored in the opening 20 minutes.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Salernitana have conceded 3+ times in nearly half (eight) of their 17 away league matches this season. [/p]
