Juventus will travel to the port city of La Spezia on Serie A Matchday 23 to face Spezia at the Stadio Alberto Picco on Sunday evening as the Bianconeri slowly rise back up the Serie A table.
La Vecchia Signora currently have a 15-point penalty and they are equal ninth with Monza and Bologna on 29 points. They have won their last two league matches, defeating Salernitana 3-0 and then beating Fiorentina by a solitary goal.
Spezia are 17th in Serie A with 19 points, just two points above Hellas Verona and the relegation places. The Aquilotti drew 2-2 against Empoli in their last league game and they have been winless for four matches.
Juventus are doing what they can to make a late push for Europe despite their points penalty while Spezia must keep an eye on Verona if they want to avoid being dragged into the bottom three.
