Today the Allianz Stadium is the venue for Juve's fourth encounter of the new campaign. Over and above the appeal generated by the pre-game entertainment, the arrival of Spezia offers Juventus a chance to improve upon their already impressive statistics against the team from Liguria in Serie A.
PERFECT RUN | Juventus are one of the only two teams to have always beaten Spezia in Serie A, and the side from Liguria could become the fifth opponent against which the Bianconeri manage to win all the first five Serie A matches, after Chievo, Pescara, Sampierdarenese and Siena.
EARLY DAYS | For the third consecutive season, Juventus and Spezia face each other in Serie A inside the first seven matchdays, after 2020/21 in Matchday 6 and 2021/22 in Matchday 5 - this, however, is the first in Turin.
YOUNG GUNS | Should Dušan Vlahović find the net, at 22 years and 215 days he would become the second youngest Juventus player to score in four consecutive Serie A home games in the three-point-a-win era, after Paulo Dybala in January 2016 at 22 years and 70 days.
BACK LINE | Juventus have conceded just one goal so far - not since 2014/2015 had the Bianconeri conceded less than two goals after the first three matches of the season in Serie A and have not conceded a goal at home to Spezia in the top flight, winning 3-0 on 2 March 2021 and 1-0 on 6 March 2022.
OPPOSITE ENDS | No team has attempted fewer shots than Spezia, with 18, and only Cremonese have conceded more than the 58 attempts on the Spezia goal over the opening three days of Serie A 2022/23.
