The visiting Juventus side should be favourites in this visit to SPAL, as the away team holds a 42 point advantage from their 24 league games this season.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
SPAL form and stats
SPAL's results here at Stadio Paolo Mazza in the Serie A have been very modest with 2 victories, 2 draws and 7 defeats. With seven home Serie A games in a row without a win, the SPAL fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Parma game long ago, can be stopped today. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for SPAL with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Atalanta game, 32 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
The fans are hoping that SPAL will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Serie A game against Lecce (placed 16th). Preceding that match was a defeat to Sassuolo (1-2).
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for SPAL here at Stadio Paolo Mazza in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (10 from 11 games). SPAL have conceded 18 from these games.
Juventus form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie A travels is 7 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. Juventus seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Juventus go into this game after a win, the home game against Brescia that ended 2-0. A 1-1 draw at Milan's stadium before that.
A victory against Brescia as mentioned above, but the margin of victory could have been bigger as Juventus hit the posts three times.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Juventus manager M. Sarri as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Olympique Lyonnais.
Juventus have scored 17 goals on their travels this season, from 12 away games in the league. Juventus have conceded 13 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
The dueling parties have met before this season: Juventus - SPAL 2-0. Numbers for the last five meetings between these two teams are: one win for SPAL, one draw and three wins for Juventus. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: three games.Top Goalscorers
