Juventus kicked off season 2022/23 against Sassuolo. A confident, convincing display produced a 3-0 win on Matchday 1.
Up until last season, the fixture list of the second half of the season mirrored the first. However, for the second year in succession, there is no specific order of the games after the turning point. So, rather than Sassuolo providing the opposition in Matchday 19 it is Monza.
Let's look back at the victories that inaugurated the second part of Serie A under the guidance of Massimiliano Allegri.
CHIEVO CRUSHED
Juventus in season 2018/19 set a record for points earned in the first half of the campaign, with 53 points. Even so, at the turning point the Bianconeri displayed the spirit of a side that had more to give and that intended to give it.
The proof was evident in the 3-0 win over ChievoVerona. Douglas Costa scored early, Emre Can doubled the lead before the break and Daniele Rugani completed the scoring.
SMILING SARDINIA
Juve restarted season 2017/18 against Cagliari. Momentum was with the Bianconeri coming into the game on the back of three wins in a row. The team collected win number four in Sardinia thanks to Federico Bernardeschi's deflected shot from a Douglas Costa cross.
The sequence of consecutive successes would stretch to 12 matches.
37 MINUTES OF MADNESS
After a slow start, the Juventus of 2015-16 reached dizzying heights. At the turning point against Udinese, the Lady arrived in Friuli in full flight following nine straight wins.
Still, no one expected what unfolded. Four goals in the first half alone, from the 15th to 42rd minute! Paulo Dybala grabbed a brace, Sami Khedira and Alex Sandro one apiece.
TO THE MAX
Massimiliano Allegri made his debut as Juventus coach in season 2014/15 at Chievo. In the return fixture, the Lady, already crowned winter champions, overcame the outfit from Veneto 2-0. Both goals arrived in the second half, the first from Paul Pogba, the second from Stephan Lichtsteiner closes.
