Juventus find themselves in a pretty precarious situation in Serie A, having dropped seven points in their last three games, not to mention the 15-point deduction that saw them drop straight to 10th place in the table from 3rd place.
It has been a pretty tough situation for the Bianconeri, who are currently in 13th place with 23 points, a whopping 33 points behind leaders Napoli and just nine points above the relegation zone. A loss against Salernitana today will see their 16th-placed hosts jump above them in the table.
The hosts will fancy another positive result against a demoralized Juve side as they were able to salvage a 2-2 draw in Turin earlier this season. Massimiliano Allegri has his work cut out and knows that the Bianconeri cannot avoid further slip-ups, even though they are still alive in the Europa League and have a Coppa Italia semi-final clash against Inter Milan awaiting them.
Salernitana vs Juventus confirmed lineups
Salernitana XI (4-3-3): Sepe; Sambia, Troost-Ekong, Bronn, Bradarić; Coulibaly, Nicolussi, Vilhena; Candreva, Piatek, Dia
Juventus XI (3-5-1-1): Szczęsny; Danilo, Bremer, Sandro; De Sciglio, Locatelli, Rabiot, Miretti, Kostić; Di María; Vlahović
