These days, Juventus going to Naples to face Napoli is always going to be a very, very important domestic fixture. Napoli are, as much as you might hate it, one of the standards in Serie A these days, and that is a place in which Juventus are trying to return to rather than being whatever […]

Welcome to the weekend, everybody. It’s going to be an interesting one in Serie A — and that’s before our beloved squad takes the field in southern Italy against their former manager. (Who, you know, will be facing the team managed the guy who now manages at Juventus. Oh, how funny this will all be!) […]

It’s a game we will likely be playing a lot over the next few months, but it’s one that takes on much more of a pressing decision in the short term. It’s about finding an answer to the question of who takes Dusan Vlahovic’s starting spot now that the Serbian striker has undergone surgery for […]

It’s Friday! Who’s ready for the weekend? Well, there’s something to do with a certain international tournament next summer before we actually hit the weekend, but guessing that might not exactly be something you’re overly excited about considering, well, everything that is actually going to be happening there besides the original point of said event.

Within less than a week, we’ve come to see two of Juventus’ more important players go down with injuries that have forced them to undergo surgeries. First it was Dusan Vlahovic suffering a serious adductor injury over the weekend, then it was Federico Gatti just three days picking up a meniscus injury in his knee. […]

Draws, draws, and … more draws. Somehow, Juventus has become a team cursed with draws. In November, the team had as many victories as draws (3) as it struggles to be more clinical in front of goal. At the other end of the pitch, we’re struggling to keep clean sheets and improve defensively. Despite the […]

It was about 12 months ago in which Juventus’ defensive crunch became its most extreme. It forced two players, Federico Gatti and Pierre Kalulu, to essentially play every single minute or every single game because there simply wasn’t anybody else available due to injuries. It stretched them to their physical limits, and forced Juve to […]

Juventus’ first foray into the 2025-26 Coppa Italia saw them produce a workmanlike 2-0 victory over Udinese to ease into the quarterfinal. In the 18 years since the tournament moved to its current single-elimination format, Juventus is the only team to have reached the quarterfinals every single time. It came with some encouraging showings, including […]

After a week in which Juventus had had to find a little something extra in order to win games against opposition they really ought to have dealt with easily, and with one of their sternest tests of the year coming on Sunday, one could be forgiven for hoping that the Old Lady could ease past […]

Thankfully, Juventus’ first foray into the Coppa Italia this season didn’t go anywhere close to how their last fixture in the competition went about nine months earlier. Business taken care of, folks. Feels great to think that kind of way as compared to the alternative. That’s because Juventus beat Udinese 2-0 on Tuesday night to […]

Just as was the case a year ago, the Coppa Italia is popping up on Juventus’ schedule a little earlier than we had become accustomed to in previous seasons. We can almost certainly thank the extended Champions League league phase fixture list for that, with the early days of January providing no bit of respite […]

Juventus’ young No. 10 put them team on his back last week. And you get the notion it will have to be the case more often if the Bianconeri are to move up in both the Serie A and Champions League tables over the next few weeks and months as well. Against Bodø/Glimt and Cagliari, […]

We knew there wasn’t going to be good news on the way with how Dusan Vlahovic reacted to his injury in the first half of Saturday night’s win over Cagliari. The 25-year-old striker was in pain, requested a sub almost immediately and had his face in his jersey as he expressed his displeasure in the […]

When Cagliari turned a dull half into a potential code-red situation for when they took an out-of-nowhere lead, it looked like yet another episode of Juventus letting a team they should be beating comfortably turn a game into a nightmare. But this time, Juve didn’t let things stay in the upside down for long. Kenan […]

Kenan Yildiz is good at football. I know, it’s the kind of scalding-hot take that you’ve always come to BWRAO for over the years. But sometimes, events transpire to hit you in the face with the Obvious Stick, and there’s nothing for you to do but acknowledge it. This week has been one of those […]

On top of Juventus’ early-game sputtering against Cagliari on Saturday night, there was also the sight of Dusan Vlahovic looking absolutely dejected as he walked toward the sideline after requesting to be subbed off by Luciano Spalletti. The injury he suffered was felt immediately, and the big Serbian striker had the kind of reaction that […]
