Juventus Preview – Will Juve’s impressive unbeaten streak continue?
Juventus made a sluggish start to their Serie A campaign but have really come into their own in recent months. Since a 1-0 home reverse to Atalanta back in late November, the Old Lady are undefeated in 13 Serie A fixtures, winning eight and drawing five.
After back-to-back draws with Atalanta and Torino, Massimiliano Allegri’s troops got back on track with a hard-fought 3-2 win at Empoli last time out. Dusan Vlahovic was the hero, scoring a brace at the Stadio Carlo Castellani.
Juventus are back in the title race after an upswing in fortunes, as they start the weekend just eight points behind leaders Inter Milan in fourth. As we enter the business end of the season, can the Turin giants keep their momentum going? They should ease past their opponents at the weekend.
Spezia Preview – Can Motta’s men upset the Old Lady?
Spezia hover just above the relegation zone in 16th place after taking 26 points from 27 matches. So far, the Little Eagles have won seven, drawn five and lost 15.
Spezia won three in a row and four of five recently, but they head to the Juventus Stadium on a three-game losing streak. Since those three victories, Thiago Motta’s men have taken just one point from a possible 12 and have been dragged back towards the drop zone.
