Juventus vs Fiorentina: Preview and Prediction Juventus fans will have been relieved at watching their team take three points and break the frustrating trend of drawing games ahead of the visit of Fiorentina. The Bianconeri entered last weekend’s clash away at AC Monza at the back of four consecutive stalemates, which had effectively disrupted their chances of a title challenge. The fans will be hoping for consecutive wins now that there is some momentum with these players, although the Bianconeri have to host a formidable-looking Fiorentina side. Juventus have a one-sided record against the Viola in at least the last 12 league meetings, which does make them slight favourites. The pressure will be on Thiago Motta to show some resilience and poise to help steer the team back into title contention. So far, they are on 31 points after 17 rounds, with a nine-point gap separating them from leaders Atalanta. Juventus also host a Fiorentina side slightly above them on the table with the same number of points, and Motta will want to go above the Florence side at the end of the weekend. ............ Team News & Tactics Juventus Thiago Motta will be without a few of his key first-team stars, such as long-term absentees Gleison Bremer, Arkadiusz Milik, and Juan Cabal. Timothy Weah, Jonas Rouhi, and Douglas Luiz are also part of the treatment room for now, which will cause the manager some selection headaches. The biggest issue so far is a stable defensive setup, as the many injuries in the defensive department have seen the manager shuffle things quite consistently. In fact, there are chances that. Ottawa might name a near-identical starting lineup that beat Monza in the previous matchday. The only possible change here could see Andrea Cambiaso return to the lineup in place of makeshift left-back Weston McKennie. However, America’s goalscoring contribution might see him retain his place in the lineup. There are a few former Fiorentina players, and at the current moment, Nico Gonzalez is the man in question, as the fans will hope to see the best out of him against his former side. There is also Dusan Vlahovic, who has yet to find the net against Fiorentina since leaving them to join Juventus, as he has left the game with a blank on four occasions since his move to Turin. Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Savona, Gatti, Kalulu, McKennie; Locatelli, Koopmeiners; Conceicao, Gonzalez, Yildiz; Vlahovic Fiorentina ............ Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): de Gea; Dodo, Comuzzo, Ranieri, Gosens; Cataldi, Adli; Colpani, Gudmundsson, Sottil; Kean Key Stats Juventus have managed to draw 20 Serie A games in 2024. Juventus are undefeated in their last 25 matches in Serie A. Juventus have won 10 of their last 11 home matches against Fiorentina in all competitions. Fiorentina have lost their last two Serie A games. Player to Watch Moise Kean Dusan Vlahovic will take all the headlines ahead of another game against former side Fiorentina, but this time around, it is a former Juventus striker who could have a point to prove. Moise Kean returns to his old stomping grounds with something to prove to his previous employers, as he will want to help his current side, Fiorentina, in a big way. ............ Prediction Juventus 1-1 Fiorentina There is a lot at stake in this match, as the winner could get a chance to stay in the relevant distance with the top order, while the loser could find it very hard going forward to climb back up. In any case, the onus will be on Juventus to perform on home soil, and they will have some bit of momentum following their win over Monza. Fiorentina might come into this clash on the back of consecutive league defeats, but the team are set to gather themselves for a fighting comeback. They have the squad to mount a challenge on Juventus away from home, but this game has all the hallmarks of an eventful draw. .

Tacchinardi discusses how many players Juventus needs to sign in January Juventus is expected to be one of the busiest clubs in the January transfer window as they aim to strengthen their squad and finish the season on a high note. The Bianconeri have faced a challenging first half of the campaign, remaining unbeaten in Serie A but needing more victories to truly compete for the league title. To address their shortcomings, Juventus plans to reinforce key areas in the squad when the transfer window opens. ............ While speculation surrounds the names Juve might add to their roster, former club star Alessio Tacchinardi has weighed in on what the team truly needs before the window closes. Tacchinardi offered his perspective on the areas requiring urgent attention. He stated, “How many defenders do we need? At least two. We’re expecting a difficult January. Giuntoli must make the difference. For me, the Douglas Luiz situation needs to be monitored. If he’s not at his best, if I believe in you, I’ll ask you to come even with just one leg. I haven’t seen much chemistry with Danilo either. With them and their relationship with Motta, something doesn’t add up. I don’t know if it’s nerves or if something happened. If Danilo leaves, Juve needs a player right away. Not like Koop who arrived at the last minute. We need 2 slash 3 players.” ............ With all eyes on sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli, Juventus fans remain confident that decisive moves will be made. Everyone involved in decision-making at the Allianz Stadium is aware of the importance of bolstering the squad next month. Whether it’s the defence or other positions, new signings are essential if Juve is to compete for silverware in the latter half of the season. .

Juventus is trying to lower Hancko’s asking price with a swap deal Juventus is eager to secure the signing of David Hancko during the January transfer window as part of their plan to strengthen their defence for the second half of the season. The Bianconeri are looking to address vulnerabilities at the back and see Hancko as a versatile option who could significantly enhance their squad. The 27-year-old defender, currently at Feyenoord, is particularly appealing to Juventus due to his ability to play in multiple positions. A left-footed player, Hancko can operate as a centre-back or as a left-back, offering tactical flexibility to manager Thiago Motta. This versatility makes him a highly attractive prospect, as it would provide the team with greater depth and options in crucial defensive areas. ............ Feyenoord is reportedly demanding a substantial fee for the Slovakian international, which could complicate negotiations. To reduce the financial burden of the transfer, Juventus is exploring creative solutions. The club plans to include Facundo Gonzalez and Samuel Mbangula in the deal as permanent transfers. Both players are talented prospects, and their inclusion in the offer could help sweeten the deal for Feyenoord. ............ Hancko himself is reportedly open to joining a top European club like Juventus, and the Italian giants are optimistic that Feyenoord will accept their proposal. The defender’s experience, composure, and tactical intelligence make him an ideal target for Juventus, especially as they look to solidify their defensive ranks in pursuit of silverware. ............ .

Juventus opens the door for three players to leave in January Juventus has reportedly decided to cash in on Danilo during the upcoming January transfer window, just six months before the Brazilian’s contract is set to expire. The defender, who has served as the club’s captain, has been a consistent presence in the team, earning significant playing time in recent months. However, the Bianconeri appear prepared to part ways with him as they aim to reshape their squad. ............ One of the most serious suitors for Danilo’s signature is Napoli, who has reportedly been monitoring his situation closely in recent weeks. Juventus, aware of this interest, is now open to letting the experienced defender leave in January. ............ The report states that Nicolo Fagioli and Arthur Melo are two additional players Juventus is actively looking to sell. Both midfielders have struggled to establish themselves as indispensable members of the squad, making them expendable as the club seeks to rebuild. ............ .

Lautaro il nuovo Dracula del calcio dopo Suarez ...... Che massa di teste di c.... e proprio sotto gli occhi dell'arbitro.

Juventus 'reject Marcus Rashford transfer' with Old Lady 'more interested' in Red Devils teammate Rashford has been left out of Man United's last four matchday squads and is widely expected to leave Old Trafford in January, with the England international recently expressing a desire to seek pastures new. According to The Sun, Juventus were recently contacted to discuss Rashford, but the Turin giants made it clear that they would not be interested in signing the Red Devils academy product at this moment in time. However, the report claims that Juventus are keen on Zirkzee, with the Netherlands international also being heavily linked with a departure ahead of the winter transfer window. Zirkzee has scored just four times in 26 appearances for Man United this term and could return to Serie A in 2025, with Inter Milan and Napoli also believed to be interested in the ex-Bologna forward. ............ Zirkzee is currently involved for Man United, and despite his struggles, it would be a surprise to see the Dutchman leave in the winter window due to the team's lack of options in that area of the field. Indeed, unless a replacement can be signed, which will be very difficult in the January market, then Zirkzee is likely to complete the season at Old Trafford before his future is discussed. ............ .

Juventus makes a decision on Douglas Luiz ahead of the January transfer window Douglas Luiz risks becoming yet another midfield flop at Juventus as he has yet to justify the club’s decision to bring him to Turin. The Brazilian was one of the players that fans had high expectations for when he made the move to Allianz Stadium at the beginning of this season. Juventus invested a considerable amount of money to secure his services, but so far, Luiz has looked out of place in the team. ............ There have been several reports suggesting that Juventus could look to offload him in the upcoming January transfer window. Some even claim that Aston Villa, his former club, is interested in bringing him back on loan. With the midfielder continuing to battle with form and physical fitness, Juventus faces an important decision on what to do with him. However Juventus is not considering a departure for Luiz just yet. Despite the offers, the club has a clear plan for the Brazilian in the January window, and that plan is to keep him. Juventus believes that Luiz is capable of improving his performances in the second half of the season, and they hope that he can turn things around and show the quality that made him one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. ............ .

Preview: Juventus vs. Fiorentina - prediction, team news, lineups Level on points in the Serie A standings, Juventus and Fiorentina meet in Turin on Sunday evening, both aiming to stay in touch with the Scudetto race. While Juve could make it 18 league games unbeaten, they are trailing behind Italy's top four; the Viola hold one game in hand on their old foes but have recently gone three without a win across all competitions. Match preview After sweeping aside Cagliari to reach the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, Juve were 2-1 winners in Monza just before Christmas, with the decisive goal scored by fit-again forward Nico Gonzalez - one of many men to have taken the road from Florence to Turin. ............ Beating Monza ended a run of four straight top-flight stalemates, so before heading for Saudi Arabia to contest the Supercoppa Italiana, Motta's men will now aim to post rare back-to-back wins. ............ Team News Juventus are still burdened by a long absence list, as an injury-hit 2024 draws to its close: Arkadiusz Milik, Bremer, Juan Cabal, Timothy Weah, Jonas Rouhi and Douglas Luiz are all sidelined. Thiago Motta may even take the rare step of naming an almost unchanged team on Sunday, although Andrea Cambiaso could replace makeshift left-back Weston McKennie. Leading the hosts' attack, Dusan Vlahovic scored 44 goals in 98 Serie A matches for Fiorentina but has since played four times against the Viola without finding the net. ............ Juventus possible starting lineup: Di Gregorio; Savona, Kalulu, Gatti, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Thuram; Conceicao, Gonzalez, Yildiz; Vlahovic Fiorentina possible starting lineup: De Gea; Dodo, Comuzzo, Ranieri, Gosens; Adli, Cataldi; Colpani, Gudmundsson, Sottil; Kean We say: Juventus 1-0 Fiorentina Juventus are still a work in progress, so they will be put to the test by a well-coached Fiorentina team on Sunday evening. However, the Bianconeri have lost just once at home this season, and it seems that their talented attack is finally finding its feet. .

Spanish club steps up interest to completing Arthur’s transfer Arthur Melo has had a frustrating first half of the season, remaining entirely redundant as he failed to secure a team to play for. ............ The midfielder is now being linked with a potential move to Spain, where three clubs have reportedly expressed interest in signing him. Among these, Real Betis stands out as the most determined suitor. Real Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini is said to be eager to work with the former Barcelona star, reportedly urging the club’s hierarchy to finalise a deal for the 28-year-old when the transfer window opens. Arthur’s previous experience in La Liga, coupled with his technical skills, has made him an attractive prospect for the Andalusian side as they aim to strengthen their midfield. ............ For Arthur, a move to Real Betis could represent a much-needed opportunity for redemption. The report suggests that the midfielder would be delighted to join Pellegrini’s team, as it would not only bring him back to competitive football but also place him under a manager who values his abilities. Tuttojuve further notes that Betis could ramp up their efforts to secure Arthur’s signature in the coming days, reflecting their seriousness about the transfer. ............ .

Cambiaso is expected to return to the Juventus lineup against Fiorentina Andrea Cambiaso made a significant return to the Juventus squad in their recent 2-1 victory over Monza, coming on in the second half to help the team secure a crucial win. The young defender has been a valuable member of the team this season, consistently impressing with his performances, and has become one of Thiago Motta’s most trusted players. ............ As long as Cambiaso is fit, there seems little reason to leave him out of the starting lineup, as his consistency and reliability make him an integral part of the squad. ............ Cambiaso is set to start for Juventus in the match against Fiorentina. This means he will be joining the starting lineup alongside other key players such as Weston McKennie, Nico González, and Kenan Yildiz. Cambiaso’s inclusion in the squad makes sense, as he has proven to be one of Juventus’ most reliable performers when called upon. With a match as tough as this one, Juventus will need all hands on deck, and Cambiaso could very well be a key figure in ensuring they come away with a positive result. His defensive stability and ability to contribute both in defence and going forward will be vital for the Bianconeri as they aim to extend their winning form. .

Three Juventus boosts but one new concern ahead of Fiorentina Friday’s training session brought three pieces of good news for Thiago Motta ahead of Juventus’s upcoming Serie A match at home against Fiorentina on Sunday, but Nico Gonzalez is now a doubt again as he worked individually at Continassa this morning. ............ As for the positives, Teun Koopmeiners, Danilo and Douglas Luiz all trained regularly with the first team ahead of Sunday’s game against Fiorentina. ............ While there was positive news on Friday, there is also a new concern surrounding Nico Gonzalez, who is a doubt ahead of Sunday’s game against his former club. The Argentine is following a personalised training programme in an attempt to lower his workload, which the club hope will minimise the risk of future injuries or relapses. .

Roberto Bettega compie 74 anni. Tanti auguri Bobbygol!

Crucial day for Juventus star who must prove his fitness ahead of Fiorentina clash The Juventus technical staff will be closely monitoring Teun Koopmeiners in Thursday’s training session, as his availability against Fiorentina remains in jeopardy. The 26-year-old was in the starting lineup against Monza as usual, albeit he was operating in a deeper role this time (a central midfielder rather than an attacking midfielder). However, this experiment was cut short due to an adductor problem. ............ Luckily for the Dutchman, the medical tests he held on Monday ruled out any injuries. However, it remains to be seen if he’ll be able to regain his optimal physical condition in time for Sunday’s big showdown against the Old Lady’s Tuscan rivals. ............ Moreover, this contest will give Juventus the opportunity to usurp Fiorentina in the league standings. The two clubs are part on points, but the Viola are ahead in fourth place thanks to a superior goal difference, and they also have a postponed match in hand due to Edoardo Bove’s shocking collapse against Inter which delayed the contest to a later date. So for all these reasons and beyond, Motta will be sweating over Koopmeiners’ condition, as he certainly wouldn’t want to lose the services of his ‘irreplaceable’ player for this vital contest. .

Jorge Mendes on Antonio Silva: “He wants Juventus and Juventus want him” Talented young Benfica defender Antonio Silva is set to make a strong push for a move to Juventus in the January transfer window. The Italian giants have identified the 21-year-old Portuguese centre-back as their primary target to bolster their defence, which has been hit hard by injuries to key players Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal. ............ The Portuguese defender, born in 2003, is seen as the ideal reinforcement for Juventus’ backline. Silva is expected to push Benfica to allow him to move to Italy on loan in January and don the black and white stripes of Juventus. Jorge Mendes, Silva’s agent, has confirmed the player’s desire to join the Turin-based club. ............ “He wants Juventus and Juventus wants him. Now it’s up to Benfica to decide. We need a bit of patience, we have to wait a few days. These things can change in 5 minutes during the transfer window, which is still closed for now. He’s an important player, there were several clubs interested in him, but let’s see what Benfica decides as they have the final say.” Mendes also commented on another of his clients, Francisco Conceicao, who is already at Juventus: “His future is at Juventus. He’s very happy to be there, and the club is also happy with him. It will be a relationship that continues for a long time.” .

Juventus want to seal move for Milan’s Fikayo Tomori quickly Serie A giants Juventus are keen to sign Milan defender Fikayo Tomori and want to seal their move quickly. Milan and Juve could meet each other on the negotiation table right after they play their games in the Supercoppa Italiana. ............ Juve are looking to close the move as soon as they can once they return from Saudi Arabia and want to get a deal done for a package that could be upto €25 million. It could be an initial loan deal with the obligation to buy, with manager Thiago Motta already having given approval for the move. .

“Enough” – Gigi Buffon sickened constant comparison that is damaging Juventus Gianluigi Buffon complains about the comparison between Juventus coach Thiago Motta and his predecessor Max Allegri. ............ But while the 42-year-old was positively welcomed by the fans, his slow start to the campaign has curbed the enthusiasm, especially with the Bianconeri sitting sixth in the Serie A standings after registering a whopping 10 draws in 17 rounds. Therefore, Motta’s numbers have been constantly compared with Allegri’s over the past few weeks, highlighting that the club has garnered fewer points under the new regime. ............ “When you intervene so deeply, it takes time. Motta is a meticulous, well-prepared coach, accustomed to certain levels. I know him as a teammate, everyone must give him a hand,” said the former Juventus captain. “Let’s not joke around. Enough with the comparison between Motta and Allegri, it’s neither here nor there. One has won a lot, Thiago is just starting out, so anyone who compares them is driven by the desire to upset the environment.” “I have great respect for Thiago and I am very confident in what he is building,” concluded Buffon. .

What’s behind the curious physical condition of Douglas Luiz? Expected return date revealed Between uninspiring displays and recurring injury problems, Douglas Luiz has been a real conundrum for Juventus since the start of the season. ............ While the player’s slow start to the season was justified by his late return from the summer vacation in addition to having to adjust to a new league, a mysterious injury sustained in October served as a blow for any hopes of a swift uplift. At first, the muscle injury was dismissed as a slight knock, with the player expected to make his return to action in a matter of weeks. Nevertheless, it later became evident that the injury was significantly more severe than initially perceived. ............ The Brazil international might be suffering the symptoms of a physical issue that he had already been carrying upon his arrival at Juventus. As the Turin-based newspaper explains, the former Aston Villa man is dealing with intramuscular edema, a rather insidious problem because it is difficult to heal and subject to frequent relapses. Therefore, Juventus must be extremely careful in their approach to avoid additional setbacks. That is why the club decided to drop him from the squad for the time being. Luiz is thus expected to return to the fold between January and February. .

Juventus youngsters have been the one positive this season Juventus boasts some of the finest young talents in Italian football and has shifted its approach, moving away from a culture of overlooking homegrown players. ............ Thiago Motta made several key signings in the summer, but Juve’s youngsters have played a crucial role in supporting the new coach’s vision. The men in black and white seem committed to trusting their young players, and if they succeed this season, these rising stars will be a significant part of why. The Most Impressive Youngsters at Juve This Season Kenan Yildiz Yildiz is considered the brightest talent in Italian football, and Juventus is fortunate to have secured him for their squad. His rapid progression through the club’s ranks has been remarkable, and there is widespread excitement about the potential he could realise in the coming years. Samuel MbangulaMbangula was a surprise inclusion in the Juve lineup for Thiago Motta’s first match, but he seized the opportunity to make an immediate impact. ............ Nicolo SavonaSavona is currently the most composed and mature of Juve’s young stars. He combines defensive solidity with attacking confidence, making him a standout performer. ............ .

Three positions Juventus should strengthen in January The January transfer window presents Juventus with a crucial opportunity to strengthen their squad ahead of the second half of the season. ............ During the summer transfer window, they invested heavily in new players. However, the spending appears to have been concentrated on just one area of the team. Juve allocated more resources to the midfield than to any other position, yet the midfield still seems inadequate. ............ Central Defense The loss of a key player like Bremer is a significant blow. Juventus would undoubtedly be in a better position if he were still fit. Signing a defender during the upcoming transfer window could ease the pressure on the team. ............ Striker Juventus might be one of the only top European clubs relying on just one striker, having taken the risky decision not to sign another forward during the last transfer window. Their justification—waiting for Arkadiusz Milik to regain fitness—seems questionable. Depending solely on the Polish international is unlikely to yield the improvements the team needs. ............ Left Wing Thiago Motta introduced Samuel Mbangula in his first match as Juventus manager. The young Belgian has been alternating with Kenan Yildiz on the left wing. While both players show promise, Juventus needs an experienced winger to solidify this role. Acquiring a seasoned player in January could provide the team with more consistency and stability on the left flank. .

Sensational Exchange deal between Juventus & Napoli gaining steam While it appeared to be an implausible scenario at first, Juventus and Napoli could end up swapping the services of Nicolo Fagioli and Giacomo Raspadori. According to several outlets in the Italian media, the stars could be lining up for what would be a ground-breaking operation. As the source explains, the players involved are Italian internationals who find themselves in somewhat similar positions, with the lack of playing time being a common theme. ............ Fagioli has an ally at Napoli in the shape of the club’s transfer director Giovanni Manna who has a long-standing bond with the midfielder dating back to their time together at Juventus Next Gen. The 35-year-old also supported the player during his darkest period, renewing his contract while he was serving an eight-month ban. ............ For his part, Raspadori hasn’t been able to break into Conte’s plans. Nevertheless, he might just be the perfect solution for Motta’s attacking dilemma. The Euro 2020 winner can play as a centre-forward, thus offering cover for Dusan Vlahovic who has been playing non-stop this season, but can also feature as a second striker, or even on the wings. ............ .

Man City plotting move for Juventus summer signing who bewitched Guardiola Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was reportedly left dazzled by Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio when the two sides clashed heads earlier this month. ............ The former Monza goalkeeper was robust between the posts, pulling off several astonishing saves, including a brilliant reaction stop on Erling Haaland’s glorious one-on-one opportunity. The Norwegian giant tried to dink it over the Italian, but the latter somehow managed to deny it with an outstretched hand. The 27-year-old’s stunning show between the posts earned him the admiration of Guardiola who now considers him the right profile to bolster his less-than-perfect goalkeeping department. ............ Therefore, the Cityzens are reportedly keen to bring in a new custodian sooner rather than later, and Di Gregorio has now landed on their shortlist. ............ Di Gregorio’s contract with the Bianconeri is valid until June 2029, and the source insists it would take an irresistible offer to convince the Serie A giants to part ways with their summer signing. .

The main reason Juventus is not scoring many goals Juventus’ lack of goals is one of the key issues plaguing the club, and this is compounded by the fact that they are also conceding. When the defence struggles to keep clean sheets, the team must compensate by scoring more goals—a balance Juventus has yet to achieve this season. The Bianconeri are relying heavily on Dusan Vlahovic to provide the bulk of their goals as their main striker. Unfortunately, he has faced the brunt of the criticism during this goal drought. ............ With 12 goals and 2 assists in 20 games this season, the Serbian striker remains one of the top scorers across the continent. ............ Juventus’ goal-scoring struggles this season stem from the lack of contributions from other players. Vlahovic has 12 goals, but the club’s second-highest scorers—Kenan Yildiz and Timothy Weah—have only managed four goals each. If Juventus is to find success this season, more players need to step up and contribute to the team’s offensive efforts. ............ .

The Super Cup result could determine the rest of Juventus’ season Juventus is one of the teams set to compete in the Super Cup next month, as the Bianconeri aim to add another trophy to their illustrious cabinet. ............ Juve qualified for the Super Cup by winning the Coppa Italia and are set to face AC Milan in their first match in two weeks. Thiago Motta, brought in to rebuild the team, understands that securing this trophy could significantly ease the pressure on him and his squad. ............ Although Juventus claimed the Coppa Italia last season, their supporters have largely felt deprived of silverware in recent years, and they are eager for that to change by the end of this campaign. If Juve reaches the Super Cup final, they could face either Atalanta or Inter Milan, making this competition a true test of their readiness to succeed at the highest level. ............ .

How many matches can Juventus win in January? January promises to be a pivotal month for Juventus, with several crucial matches that could define their season. ............ Super Cup Semi-Final vs. AC Milan Juventus will face AC Milan in the Super Cup semi-final, with the potential to meet either Atalanta or Inter Milan in the final. The Bianconeri should have enough quality to defeat Milan and book their place in the final. Serie A Match vs. Torino (Away) ............ Serie A Match vs. Atalanta (Away) The trip to Bergamo to face Atalanta will be a tricky encounter. This is a match where the Old Lady might drop points, and a draw seems the most likely outcome. Serie A Match vs. AC Milan (Home) Juve will then host AC Milan for another January fixture, this time in Serie A. Playing at home should give them the edge ............ Champions League Match vs. Club Brugge (Away) Following their domestic commitments, Juventus will return to Champions League action against Club Brugge. The Belgian side has been impressive, but Juventus should manage to avoid defeat in this game. Serie A Match vs. Napoli (Away) The blockbuster clash against Napoli in Naples on January 25th could prove to be Juve’s toughest challenge of the month. Thiago Motta’s men might see their unbeaten run come to an end in this fiercely competitive fixture. Champions League Match vs. Benfica (Home) Juventus will finish their January schedule with a home game against Benfica in the Champions League. ............ Juventus has the potential to win most of their January fixtures but matches against Atalanta and Napoli will be the toughest tests. Success in January could build momentum for the rest of the season. . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/how-many-matches-can-juventus-win-in-january/

Trusting Milik for the second half of the season is too much of a gamble It is puzzling that Juventus believes Arkadiusz Milik’s return will address their pressing need for a new striker. This decision could set the club up for a significant disappointment. Currently, Juventus relies exclusively on Dusan Vlahovic as their primary striker, following the decision to allow Moise Kean to leave. ............ However, there are few signs they plan to do so. Cristiano Giuntoli continues to insist the club will wait for Milik’s return, seemingly confident in his ability to make a difference. ............ When Juventus says they are waiting for Milik, one might assume the Polish forward is a prolific goal scorer. Unfortunately, this assumption does not align with reality. Last season, Milik managed just four goals in 32 Serie A appearances for Juventus. Since his arrival in 2022, he has scored only 17 goals in over 70 matches—hardly the kind of statistics that inspire confidence. Relying on Milik to rejuvenate Juventus’ attack is a high-risk gamble that could backfire, leaving Thiago Motta with limited and underwhelming options in the striker role. ............ .
