Spezia, Recent FormIt's fair to say Spezia will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Empoli, a match that ended in a 2-2 draw. During that encounter they had 35% possession and had 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 8 of their 24 shots on goal.
Having conceded 9 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 5 points. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games. Having shipped at least a single goal in 19 of their 22 league matches this season, they don't have an enviable defensive record this campaign.
A home win for Spezia is just a distant memory, having not won at Stadio Alberto Picco in 7 games.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Spezia, M'Bala Nzola will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Juventus, Recent FormJuventus will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their home outing against Fiorentina. They came away from that fixture with a 44% share of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Fiorentina, who managed 11 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Massimiliano Allegri will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 10 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. It's fair to say they have produced a number of good defensive performances away from home, with 5 clean sheets in their last 6 matches on the road.
They have had an excellent run of form away from home recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 games on the road.
With 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Dušan Vlahović has given the travelling Juventus support something to shout about on the road.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Spezia who ended up empty-handed, losing 2-0 to Juventus.
La Vecchia Signora will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Spezia having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 7 meetings. On each of the last 2 outings between Spezia and La Vecchia Signora in the league, Spezia have not performed well in front of goal and have come up empty-handed in terms of goals. Goals come easy for Juventus when they travel to Spezia, having recorded 8 goals in their past 3 visits and an impressive average of 2.67 goals per match.
Juventus will be looking to continue their winning streak against Spezia, having won each of the last 5 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 5 meetings.
Federico Chiesa has scored in each of Juventus' last 0 league games against Spezia.
Spezia manager Luca Gotti has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match.
