Juventus-Salernitana is a match valid for the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia and is played Thursday at 9 p.m.: lineups, predictions, TV and streaming.
The road is paved, at least until the semifinals. After Inter’s exit from the scene, the Coppa Italia becomes an even more within reach goal for a Juventus side that this year has the nontrivial “privilege” – so to speak – of being able to focus on only two fronts.
The Bianconeri as of today are the main favorites to win the national cup: in case of passing the round with Salernitana in the quarterfinals they would face Frosinone; should they pass even that hurdle Massimiliano Allegri’s team will in all likelihood find a Roman side, barring another exploit by Cremonese, engaged twenty-four hours earlier with José Mourinho’s men (at the time of writing we do not yet know the result). The coach from Livorno, then, has never snubbed this competition, not even during his first experience on the Bianconeri bench, when he won as many as four in a row. Against the Campani, at the Allianz Stadium, the turnover is inevitable but there is no doubt that his team will try its best to close the accounts already in regulation time.
Two clashes in a matter of days
In the weekend, in fact, it will be championship again. And Juve will again face Pippo Inzaghi’s granata, this time at the Arechi stadium
Two clashes in the space of a few days that the Lady will try to file out without much effort to make way in the cup and to continue keeping up with Inter in the league. Danilo and his teammates on Saturday moved back to -2 from the Nerazzurri thanks to the success over Roma signed by Rabiot. Perhaps even heavier victory instead for Salernitana, which with the same result (1-0) imposed itself on a direct competitor such as Verona, pierced by a goal of Tchaouna at the beginning of the second half. They will be several, we said, the changes planned by Allegri: Miretti and Nicolussi Caviglia will make McKennie and Locatelli play second fiddle in midfield, in goal instead will go Perin. Up front it will be Milik’s turn, while Rugani will be back in defense. In Salernitana, chances from the 1′ for Bohinen and Ikwuemesi.
The Prediction
Juve and Salernitana have only clashed in Serie A so far and the tally is 5 wins for the bianconeri, two draws and one success for the granata. Allegri’s massive turnover could make this match more open and also the fact that Inzaghi’s team won a crucial match in the league – now the fourth-last place is only two points away – will allow them to approach this match with less pressure. Juventus obviously favored in a match in which the total goals will most likely be at least three.
The probable lineups of Juventus-Salernitana
JUVENTUS (3-5-2): Perin; Rugani, Bremer, Danilo; Weah, Miretti, Nicolussi Caviglia, Rabiot, Iling Jr.; Yildiz, Milik.
