Juventus host Salernitana, determined to return to winning ways to secure next season`s Champions League spot mathematically. The Campanian side, already relegated, aims to give some cheer to their fans

A win to seal Champions League qualification with two matchdays to spare. After missing out on the first match point against Roma, the Bianconeri seek a victory, which has been elusive for four matches, to secure their spot and focus on the Coppa Italia Frecciarossa final scheduled for Wednesday at the Olimpico in Rome against Atalanta.

Salernitana, after giving Atalanta a scare last week, hope for a positive result to end the season on a high note and start planning their return to Serie A TIM.

DID YOU KNOW?

If they win against Salernitana, Juventus will qualify for the next edition of the UEFA Champions League. In that case, the Bianconeri will participate in their 24th different UCL season, at least three more than any other Italian team (Milan 21, including 2024/25).

Only Salernitana (0) and Frosinone (1) have won fewer matches than Juventus (2) in the last 14 Serie A matches.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

Juventus have won six of their nine matches against Salernitana in Serie A (D2 L1), including the two most recent games; the Bianconeri have never achieved three successes in a row against the Granata in the tournament.

Juventus are unbeaten in four home games against Salernitana in Serie A (W3 D1), outscoring them 9-2 in these games; however, the most recent match between the two teams at the Allianz Stadium ended 2-2 last season.

Only Lautaro Martínez (10) has scored more goals against Salernitana in Serie A than Dusan Vlahovic (six). He has been involved in nine goals (six goals and three assists) in five matches against them in Serie A, his most against one opponent.

Since his first goal in Serie A (2019/20), Bremer is the defender who has scored the most headed goals in the major five European leagues (13, including all of his last seven). He has scored two goals against Salernitana in Serie A and only against Cagliari (three) he has done better in the tournament.

Loum Tchaouna is the youngest player who has been involved in at least seven goals in Serie A this season (four goals and three assists); he could also score in two matches in a row for the first time in the Italian top-flight.
