A distracted Juventus face a tricky game against the already-relegated Salernitana in Serie A this weekend. The matchday 36 fixture at the Allianz Stadium in Turin on Sunday will have the hosts third with 66 points and the visitors bottom with 15 points. Juventus aren’t yet guaranteed a top-four finish, but they have a six-point lead over Atalanta, who are in fifth and have a game in hand. Interestingly, Atalanta are Juve’s next opponent in the Coppa Italia final, a game that will be of greater importance at the moment. Even their recent league form has been poor, as Juventus have won only one of their last nine league games. That included six draws and two defeats, with only a 1-0 win over Fiorentina to show for their efforts. Even at home, they have failed to win five of their last seven league matches, which doesn’t give them confidence.

Salernitana are already relegated and lost 2-1 to Atalanta last time, extending their winless run to 17 league matches. The visitors lost 14 and drew three in this sequence, with their last league win coming just before the year 2023 ended. They did take an early lead against Atalanta last time out, but the quality of this squad is suspect. In fact, with 75 goals conceded, they have the worst defensive record in the division. Salernitana’s output in front of the goal is equally poor, as their tally of 27 goals is worse than all clubs bar Empoli. There’s no hope that things will change overnight on the road, as Salernitana are battling an uphill task to end a nine-game winless streak. This run had seen them lose seven and draw only twice.
