Juventus vs Salernitana Betting Tips: UNDER 3.5

Following a year-long absence from the continental stage due to UEFA sanctions for breaching Financial Fair Play rules, the Old Lady is on the brink of delighting their loyal supporters by securing a place in the Champions League, and they won't have a better opportunity to do so than this weekend against Salernitana, who have already packed their bags for Serie B.

However, Juventus haven't been at their best for quite some time now, as they've managed to notch up mere two victories across their last 14 outings in Calcio's top tier, yet they've proven to be tough to beat, only ending up on the wrong side of the result once since the start of April (W2, D4).

That solitary setback came against Lazio on April 23, but thanks to a 3-2 aggregate victory, Max Allegri's men have secured a record 22nd Coppa Italia final, where they'll battle Gasperini's La Dea for the silverware at the Olimpico on May 15, returning to the Italian capital just ten deys after sharing the spoils in a 1-1 draw with Roma.

Despite their four-game streak of draws in Serie A, the Turin club will be hoping to rev up their engines in this weekend's action before facing Atalanta in the final showdown next Wednesday, as they can boast of defeating Salernitana in five out of their last six clashes, including both times this term - clinching a comeback 2-1 win in the league and sinking them 6-1 in the Coppa Italia.

The combination of a tenacious defensive line and a blunt cutting edge has resulted in matches for the White and Blacks often being low-scoring affairs, with Juventus averaging just 2.1 goals per game across 35 gameweeks, while the barrier of 3.5 goals (our choice) has not been breached in an incredible 29 instances this term.

A triumph for the home side in this less-than-attractive contest could be a highly probable outcome, especially considering that the Turin giants have showcased a staunch defensive stance of late, keeping opponents off the scoresheet in each of their last four home matches, during which a measly three goals were registered, including two nil-nil draws.

With their relegation to Serie B already sealed, Salernitana will undoubtedly approach the weekend match with a sense of relief and relaxation, much like last week when they forced Atalanta to come from behind to defeat them, but it's hard to imagine them making a mark on the scoresheet against the steel defense that Juventus possesses. Ultimately, we anticipate that the Old Lady will cruise to a convincing victory with a clean sheet.
