The mere three points collected in the first four matchdays leave little room for error in the clashes against Bodø Glimt and the upcoming opponents. The Bianconeri absolutely must win in Norway to revive their European campaign.

😰 Spalletti and Norway, act two

After a winning debut with Cremonese and three draws between Serie A and Champions League, Spalletti faces his nemesis Norway again, just a few months after his experience with the National Team ended. 

The 3-0 defeat his Italy suffered in Oslo last June effectively put an end to the Certaldo coach’s time with the Azzurri, in what is, without much doubt, the greatest disappointment of Spalletti’s career.

So, in Bodø, it’s also a personal matter. It won’t be easy, because while it’s true that the technical gap between the two squads is clear—the total value of the Norwegians is €43 million, while Juve’s exceeds €600 million—you can’t overlook the home advantage. Tonight, in fact, at the Aspmyra Stadion, the temperature will drop below zero. Nothing like yesterday’s -12, but still, between 5 and 10 cm of snow are expected. What’s most concerning, however, is the wind, which in these parts is biting and often changes the trajectory of the ball.

Then there’s the matter of the pitch, which also shouldn’t be overlooked. In Bodø, they play on artificial turf, a first for the Bianconeri. If these seem like minor details, looking at the history of matches played here shows they are not: Mourinho’s Roma conceded 6 goals here in 2021; Lazio lost 2-0 last year; less than two months ago, Tottenham came back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2, but couldn’t do more. 

📊 The road to the round of 16

Spalletti is right, in short, to talk about a "very tough match, tougher than you might expect." If Juventus triumphs against Bodo, they would then need at least six more points against Pafos, Benfica, and Monaco to hope to reach the playoffs. Last season, in fact, all teams with 12 points managed to advance.

If they draw, however, the Old Lady would then need to take full points in the last three matches. Or almost: with two wins and another draw, Juve would reach eleven points and could qualify for the next round if accompanied by a favorable goal difference.
