Juventus U23 form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Juventus U23 so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-6 (win-draw-lose). With the Juventus U23 losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Juventus U23 might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Pordenone proved too strong as Juventus U23 slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Giuseppe Moccagatta.

A 1-2 defeat away at Trento Calcio 1921 before that.

Juventus U23 are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 5 wins, 1 draw and 8 defeats. From a total of 14 matches.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Coppa Italia Serie C trip to Foggia.

Juventus find the net regularly in their away games. 11 goals from 10 away fixtures in the league. Juventus U23's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 17 goals from these trips.
