Juventus 1/3 to beat Chievo in Saturday’s Serie A encounter

Competition: Serie A

Market: Juventus to beat Chievo

Odds: 1/3 @ Bet365

Serie A is back this weekend with another huge round of matches that will likely bring more goals and excitement as Italy’s top league continues to gather pace. The league table has remained exceptionally tight, meaning that one win can often see a side rise a number of places, and with this in mind, Juventus travel to face Chievo on Saturday.

Chievo have been in fairly good form this season but they need to arrest a poor run of recent form that has seen them drop down the table. After 21 games they have won five, drawn seven and lost nine, scoring 21 goals and conceding 37 times. In their last five matches they have managed to pick up just one point via a single draw, while their other four games have ended in defeats. Chievo are six points clear of the relegation zone as things stand, and a few poor results could see the side sink deeper into trouble.

Juventus have been very good this season and they are battling at the top of the table. After 21 games they have won 17, drawn two and lost two, scoring 50 goals and conceding 15 times. In their last five games they have taken 15 points from a possible 15, seeing them onto 53 points. Juve are currently one short of Napoli at the top, and they will be desperate to continue their winning run to ensure the leaders are kept under sustained pressure in the league.
