Serie A 2022-23: Spezia vs Juventus: Predicted lineup, injury news, head-to-head, telecast

'The Black and Whites' will travel to Alberto Picco stadium in an effort to continue their recent good form.

Despite all the off-field distractions, the Bianconeri have done well to maintain their attention on the playing field. Juventus might return to the top six before the season is out with a victory at the Stadio Alberto Picco, which would mark the Old Lady's third straight win in Serie A. Notwithstanding a possible secondary point punishment.

Recent outcomes for Spezia have not been favourable. In five games across all competitions, Luca Gotti's team has failed to score a victory. The Aquilotti's recent injury loss of leading scorer Nzola and the absence of several important players for the game on Sunday have made matters worse. It is difficult to predict anything other than an away victory in this game.

Spezia: Bourabia

Bourbia has been a crucial component of Spezia from the middle of the field. He has played a significant role in distributing the ball for Spezia and has contributed to the game's continuity. The midfielder, who has made 16 starts for Spezia, will be important to the team.

Juventus: Dusan Vlahovic

Vlahovic has been a consistent striker and remains a threat to the opposition, and has been monitored by other clubs as he maintains his striking qualities. The Serbian will be a key part in helping Juventus finish fourth after 15 points deduction.
