On Thursday, 4 January 2024, at 21:00 CET, Juventus will take the field to face Salernitana in their first encounter of 2024, a Round of 16 Coppa Italia clash at the Allianz Stadium.
Salernitana, who entered the Italian Cup earlier in the competition, first beat Ternana 1-0, before overcoming Sampdoria 4-0 to progress to the Round of 16, where a midweek clash in Turin awaits.
Ahead of this fixture, let's backtrack to Juventus' last home victory against Salernitana. Do you remember when it happened?
JUVE-SALERNITANA, THE LATEST VICTORY AT THE ALLIANZ STADIUM
The last time the Bianconeri beat the Campania team at the Allianz Stadium was in 2022, on March 20th to be precise, in their Serie A match-up.
The final result? Juventus won 2-0 with two goals scored in the first half hour of the match: in the 5th minute, Paulo Dybala struck, before Dusan Vlahovic added the second on 29 minutes. Dusan himself was the star of that afternoon because, in addition to the excellent header for the second goal, he also provided the assist to Paulo for the game's opener. Then, as mentioned, the 2-0 was all about him: a super header, making the best possible use of Mattia De Sciglio's excellent cross from the right. The result on the day made it four consecutive wins in the league that season.
Dusan and Mattia are two of the eight players currently still in the squad who took to the field that day. In addition to them, in fact, Szczesny, Danilo and Rabiot played from the start of the match, while Rugani, Miretti and Kean all entered as substitutes during the match.
