A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Match Preview :

These teams come into this match with contrasting fortunes.

Juventus have conceded just five goals at home this season, their opponents Novarameanwhile have scored just five on their travels all season.

Juventus are at the moment locked with Udinese at the top of Serie A with 30 points after their draw with Roma on Monday night. Although Gigi Buffon saved Juve from losing with a Francesco Totti penalty stop, JUve's attacking play deserted them against a depleted Roma side.

At the moment, Juventus remains the only unbeaten side in Europe's top five leagues. They will want it to continue that way as they go in search for their fourth consecutive win at home after beating the likes of Fiorentina, Palermo and Cesena. For the record, Juventus have the third best home record in the Division this season behind Udinese and Palermo in Serie A.

The visitors Novara come into this match with an uphill task. They have never before won in Turin and they will not need to be reminded that they go into this fixture having won just one of their last 11 top flight games following their promotion last season.

Novaray did however managed a surprise 1-1 draw with Napoli in their last match and will be hoping to get a point at least here.

Interestingly, in 12 Serie A games in Turin, Juve have won seven and there have been five draws. Watch out for Quagliarella who is now back in the side after injury and ready to hit the back of the net for the home side.
