Game Prediction
In Italy, there were almost no breaks for holidays; they just slightly adjusted the schedule. Even in the middle of this week, football matches are being played, now in the format of the national cup. On Thursday, Juventus hosts Salernitana. A forecast for the match on January 4, 2024, has been prepared for the readers of the site.
Juventus is holding an unusually high position
"The Old Lady" was close to the tenth consecutive title. However, in recent years, the team has not been as impressive as when Allegri returned to the coaching position, and now with Massimiliano. There was some progress last season, but Napoli was still clearly stronger, and "The Zebras" again faced financial violations, which resulted in their expulsion from European competitions and a deduction of points in Serie A. Despite this challenging situation, Turin managed to maintain concentration and motivation. Currently, Juventus is the main pursuer of the leader, Inter, and a team that hardly loses. They recently won 1-0 against Roma, narrowing the gap to two points.
Salernitana has become the main underdog
"Sea Horses" appeared in Serie A in 2021 after a very long hiatus. They were perceived as underdogs, but initially, with Davide Nicola and later with Paulo Sousa, they managed to stay in Serie A. However, this time, the decision to make changes in the middle of the season did not help. Despite a difficult start under the Portuguese coach, there was no improvement later under "Pippo" Inzaghi. Nevertheless, this does not mean that the team is incapable of surprises. In November, they defeated Lazio, in December had a 2-2 draw with Milan, and in the last round of the cup, they defeated Sampdoria 4-0. In the previous league match, they reminded everyone of their capabilities by defeating Verona.
