The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Juventus U23 are in the 10th position while the guesting Pro Vercelli worry at 14th.

Juventus U23 have less rest than Pro Vercelli in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Serie C: Girone A game only four days ago.
