Head-to-Head:
Juventus remains unbeaten in five of the last six encounters against Salernitana, securing four victories in that span. In their most recent meeting, the Turin club claimed a 2-1 victory, with Dusan Vlahovic scoring a brace.

Team Analysis:
In the Coppa Italia round of 16, Juventus hosts Salernitana, both eager to secure a spot in the quarterfinals. Juventus, having a strong campaign, boasts a solid home record, making them favorites against Salernitana, who often struggle away from home. After last season's semi-final loss to eventual winners Inter Milan, Juventus is back in the Coppa Italia, and with Napoli and holders Inter already eliminated, they are considered contenders for the title. Quietly navigating the competition, Massimiliano Allegri's team has lost only once this season, sitting second in the Serie A standings. Their impressive home form includes an eight-match unbeaten streak at the Allianz Arena, with seven wins, including a recent 1-0 victory over Roma in Serie A, with Adrien Rabiot scoring the decisive goal.

Salernitana, participating in every round of the Coppa Italia, earned their place in the clash with a 4-0 win over Sampdoria, featuring braces from Loum Tchaouna and goals from Chukwubuikem Ikwuemesi and Jovane Cabral. While the Coppa Italia provides a welcome distraction for Salernitana, struggling in Serie A, they sit at the bottom of the standings. With just one win in their last five matches, they secured a 1-0 victory over Verona last Saturday, with Tchaouna on target once again. Salernitana's away form has been challenging, losing six of the previous seven matches on the road and failing to score in five fixtures.

Conclusion:
Considering Juventus' defensive strength and Salernitana's goal struggles away from home, opting for BTTS NO (Both Teams to Score - No) could be prudent. Juventus has secured three wins to nil in the last four matches against Salernitana, suggesting a potential repeat. Moreover, Juventus has witnessed under 2.5 goals in six of their last seven home matches, indicating a similar outcome may be expected in this encounter.

Pick: Under 2.5 goals
