Juventus vs Brescia: Match Preview

The Bianconeri head into this game on the back of a disappointing 1-2 defeat to Hellas Verona.

Not so long ago, Maurizio Sarri’s side had an opportunity to go six points clear of Inter, but after failing to pick up a single point from their last two away matches, they’re back in second, behind Nerazzurri on goal difference.

They’re presented with a great opportunity to bounce back on Sunday, when they take on humble Rondinelle.

Juventus are still boasting the best home record in the division with ten wins and a draw, bagging 2.45 goals per game on average whilst allowing 0.91. They have won four of their last five home fixtures with a combined goal difference of 14:4.

Brescia are coming off of a 1-1 stalemate against Udinese. They have snapped their two-game losing run, but their winless streak in the league remains intact and extended to eight games.

With three draws and three defeats from last six Serie A matches, Diego Lopez’s team are nineteenth in the six-game form table and second-to-last overall, one point ahead of SPAL and six points off of safety.

The Rondinelle have one of the worst away record with three wins, one draw and seven defeats to date, averaging 0.82 goals scored per match and conceding 1.73. They have lost five of their last seven road games.

Juventus vs Brescia: Prediction

Juve are a wounded animal and I fully expect them to record their eighteenth win of the season. The hosts are bound to score three or more here, and I will take the Home Win & Over 2.5 goals.

Without Cristiano Ronaldo and Douglas Costa, Juventus are projected to switch to 4-3-1-2 formation with Aaron Ramsey behind Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain up-front. I really fancy Dybala to end his goal-drought here.
