The 2023-24 edition of Serie A is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Salernitana take on Massimiliano Allegri's Juventus side at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.
Salernitana are rooted to the bottom of the Serie A standings and have struggled this season. The away side suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat at the hands of Atalanta last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.
Juventus, on the other hand, are in third place in the league table and have been fairly impressive this season. The Bianconeri were held to a 1-1 draw by AS Roma in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
Juventus vs Salernitana Head-to-Head
Juventus have an excellent record against Salernitana and have won five out of the six matches between the two teams. Salernitana are yet to win an official game against the Bianconeri.

Juventus vs Salernitana Prediction
Juventus are in the midst of a slump and are winless in their last five matches in all competitions. Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic can be effective on their day and will need to be at their best this weekend.
Salernitana have failed to live up to expectations in the top flight and will look to end their season on a positive note. Juventus are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Juventus 3-0 Salernitana
