Juventus find themselves in a peculiar situation this season, as, espite losing only two matches, the team’s inability to string together consecutive victories has become a growing concern. Since October, the Bianconeri have failed to secure back-to-back wins in Serie A and the Champions League, highlighting a troubling lack of consistency.
The statistics paint a curious picture: out of 30 matches played, Juventus has won just 12, representing a mere 40% win rate. This inconsistency has left fans puzzled, as the team seems unable to build momentum. The last time Juventus managed consecutive victories in major competitions was four months ago, a span of 111 days that feels like an eternity in football terms.
Back in early October, when Juventus last achieved this feat, the landscape was markedly different. The team had just secured a heroic victory against RB Leipzig in the Champions League, playing with ten men, shortly after an away win against Genoa in Serie A. At that time, Juventus was leading their Champions League group with a perfect record and trailing Serie A leaders Napoli by just one point.
Since then, injuries have played a role in the team’s inconsistent form, but missed opportunities have been the real culprit. After impressive victories, such as the one against Manchester City in the Champions League, Juventus has repeatedly faltered, drawing matches they were expected to win. The recent goalless draw against Club Brugge, following a victory over AC Milan, exemplifies this frustrating pattern.
The team’s problems seem to alternate between wastefulness in front of goal and an inability to create chances, reminiscent of their early-season struggles. This inconsistency has left Juventus chasing the top four in Serie A and facing the prospect of Champions League playoffs to reach the round of 16.
While it’s true that Juventus has lost only twice all season, the abundance of draws – a condition manager Thiago Motta’s team seems unable to shake – has prevented them from climbing the tables in both domestic and European competitions. As the season progresses, finding a cure for this “draw virus” will be crucial for Juventus to achieve their ambitions in both Serie A and the Champions League.
