Juventus Endures Nightmare: Worst Home Record in 26 Years
Juventus is experiencing a challenging period in Italian football, matching their poorest home performance record in 26 years.
In their latest Serie A fixture, Juventus faced Venezia at the Allianz Stadium. Despite expectations of an easy match against the bottom-placed team, Juventus managed only a 2-2 draw. They were trailing until the fifth minute of stoppage time when Dusan Vlahovic converted a penalty to salvage a point. This underwhelming performance has drawn significant criticism.
Under coach Thiago Motta, Juventus remains unbeaten this season but has secured only six victories, with ten matches ending in draws. This mirrors their 1998-1999 season, marking the first time in 26 years they've had such a low win count after 16 matches. Recent draws against Milan, Lecce, Bologna, and Venezia have left them with 28 points, placing them sixth in the standings. The growing gap from the top makes their title aspirations increasingly challenging.
