After their dominant showing in the Coppa Italia, Juventus will again face Salernitana this weekend, travelling down to the Campania coast.

The match between the Granata and the Bianconeri kicks off at 17.00 UK time at the Stadio Arechi in Salerno.

Salernitana have not looked good this season. Filippo Inzaghi’s side sit rock bottom of the Serie A table after 18 matches, sitting three points behind 17th place Cagliari. The team need to turn things around fast if they want to avoid slipping down to the second tier.

The Granata are without Guillermo Ochoa, Lorenzo Pirola, Grigoris Kastanos and Boulaye Dia, all sidelined with injuries.

Juventus thrashed Salernitana 6-1 in the Coppa Italia Round of 16 this week and will again be looking for victory as they look to keep pace with league leaders Inter, who beat Hellas Verona in dramatic fashion on Saturday afternoon.

The Old Lady cannot count on the injured Alex Sandro, Andrea Cambiaso, Mattia De Sciglio, Federico Chiesa and Moise Kean.

Last season, Juventus were held to a 2-2 draw at home but secured a 3-0 win away to Salernitana.

Probable line-ups for Salernitana vs Juventus

Salernitana (4-2-3-1): Costil; Daniliuc, Gyomber, Fazio, Bradaric; Legowski, Bohinen; Candreva, Maggiore, Tchaouna; Simy.

Juventus (3-5-2): Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Cambiaso, McKennie, Nicolussi, Rabiot, Kostic; Vlahovic, Yildiz.
