#4 Juventus (almost) fail to make dominance pay

Chievo's heat map compared to Juve's

Everyone expected Juventus to dominate the match, and the same thing transpired. They had 73% possession in the game, which is a ridiculously high number.

Juve attempted 26 shots to Chievo's 6, and 10 of them were on target to Chievo's 2. Across all metrics, Juventus clearly had control of the match but they were unable to replicate the same in the goals scored column.

After the early goal, the intensity in their game petered out which only increased when Chievo scored their two goals. At times Allegri's side was too passive in their buildup and the urgency seemed to be lacking.

The threat Chievo possessed on the counter was also clearly seen which is something which Allegri will need to rectify. Perhaps Juve will get up to speed as the season progresses, and they will need to, as stoppage-time winners are not a commodity to depend upon.
