Serie A 2019-20: 5 reasons why serial winners Juventus' domestic dominance is set to continue

#4 Away form in the league

Juventus

As is true for the other top leagues across Europe where most top teams win most of their home games, the same holds true for the Serie A as well. But it is often the away form of teams which determines the destination of league titles.

During their eight-season title winning run, Juventus won 98 games on the road (out of a possible 152). During the same period, the respective second placed team's cumulative away wins tally read 87 (43 by Napoli in 4 seasons, 32 by Roma in 3 seasons and 12 by Milan in one season).

In a tactical league like the Serie A, it's a significant difference. The ability to absorb pressure exerted by home teams in front of partisan crowds and eke out favorable results is something that Juve have excelled at better than any other team during this period. That is unlikely to change this season.

#5 Home fortress

Juventus just do not lose at home. During their last eight title-winning seasons, the club racked up a staggering 127 home wins out of a possible 152 - a home win rate that was 12 percentage points better than the cumulative tallies of the respective second placed teams during this period.

During this span, the Bianconeri were beaten at home on a miserly five occasions, going unbeaten at home in five of the last eight seasons.

rresponding cumulative number for the second placed teams during this period is 12 home losses (Napoli - 5 in 5 seasons, Roma -5 in 3 seasons and AC Milan - 2 in 1 season).

Away wins set up Juventus' title charge. Home wins complement that and steer the team over the line. It's been a trusted template of success for the Bianconeri, and one they are unlikely to dither away from.
