This mouth watering fixture schedules for 5th December 2021 at 22:45 EAT.
The Bianconeri are in a good form however stranded in the seventh place with 24 points after 15 matches in the league. The hosts may have dropped points against unlikely opposition but should be able to sneak through with all three points in this upcoming match.

In that game, Juve dominated with 74% possession, 18 shots seven of them on target and goals scored by Paulo Dybala (21′) and Álvaro Morata (70′). Salernitana got four shots with none on target.
