Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Napoli
Juventus’ game against Napoli on Sunday was a case study in how a coach can lose a game. Luciano Spalletti came into the game with an idea of how to approach the Partenopei—but it was the completely wrong idea. We’ll get into the details of that later. But Juventus’ players played a part as well. […]
The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, Episode 315: Spalletti, Juventus frustrate us all in loss to Napoli
So, about that trip to Naples. Yeah, that wasn’t good. It wasn’t very good at all. So much for Luciano Spalletti having a big, happy moment in his comeback to the stadium in which he had so much success. Instead, he did the opposite of that, putting forward easily his worst performance as Juventus manager […]
Juventus throw away the first half in loss to Napoli
Juventus deserved to lose Sunday night’s match against Napoli. Frankly, they deserved to lose it in far uglier fashion than they ended up losing. The 2-1 scoreline wasn’t in any way representative of how badly Juve deserved to lose. It was a miracle that they entered the half only 1-0 down, as Napoli missed some […]
Juventus 1 – Napoli 2: Initial reaction and random observations
So much of the early days of the Luciano Spalletti era at Juventus has felt like one or two steps forward and then just as many steps back over the course of the next subsequent fixtures. They’ve done some good, but there’s been just as much frustration and equally poor themes that have continued over […]

Round 14: Juventus vs. Napoli match preview
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 […]
The Daily Zona Mista: Saturday, Dec. 6
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!) […]
Report: David has the edge over Openda for who takes Vlahovic’s starting spot against Napoli
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 […]
The Daily Zona Mista: Friday, Dec. 5
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. […]
Vlahovic, Gatti undergo successful surgeries as recovery timetables come into focus
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. […]
November’s Monthly Juventus Thoughts: Unbalanced
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 […]
The Daily Zona Mista: Thursday, Dec. 4
It’s Thursday, everybody. And that just means it’s one day closer to the weekend. And what an important weekend it will be with some very interesting fixtures taking place across the Serie A landscape. But it’s also been a midweek full of Coppa Italia action. So, to the results! And a few other things, too. […]
Federico Gatti to miss at least a month after suffering meniscus injury in Juve’s Coppa Italia win
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 […]
Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Udinese
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 […]
Juventus ease past Udinese in Coppa Italia round of 16
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 […]
Juventus 2 – Udinese 0: Initial reaction and random observations
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 […]
Coppa Italia Game Time Thread: Juventus vs. Udinese
MATCH INFO When: Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2025. Where: Allianz Stadium, Turin, Italy.

Coppa Italia Preview: Juventus vs. Udinese
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 […]
The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, Episode 314: Kenan Yildiz takes the wheel for Juventus
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, […]
Juventus lose Dusan Vlahovic for three months with ‘high grade’ adductor injury
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 […]
The Daily Zona Mista: Monday, Dec. 1
It’s Monday once again, everybody! And, as an added bonus, it’s also the first day of December! Well shoot. There’s now only 31 days left in 2025. With how the year has gone, that probably sounds like a good development for many, right? We’ll see how December goes. So after a busy final weekend of […]
Opta says Juve are likely to make the UCL play-off round, but not go much further
A below-freezing Tuesday night in Norway brougth us something we hadn’t previously seen so far this season: a Juventus win in the Champions League. The performance was far from a strong one on the whole, but it proved to be the game in which Juve secured three point in Europe or the first time So […]
Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Cagliari
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 […]
Yildiz lifts Juventus to comeback win over Cagliari
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 […]
Spalletti: Juventus will be without Vlahovic ‘for some time’ after injury vs. Cagliari
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 […]
