Statistic outlines major problem with Juventus goalkeepers and defence | OneFootball

Juventus have ongoing issues in goal and in defence, and a worrying statistic shows that the Bianconeri are conceding far too regularly from the first shot on target that goes against them in Serie A this season.

Juventus conceding far too often from the first shot on target

Alarm bells are ringing in Bianconeri circles after a dismal set of results for the Old Lady on Sunday. Luciano Spalletti’s side were defeated 2-0 at home by Fiorentina on Sunday, while every other team around them in the Champions League race picked up important victories.

Napoli, Milan, Roma and Como all won on Sunday, which means that Juventus have dropped down from third to sixth place in the league, and now sit two points outside the top four heading into the final round of the season.

Reports on Monday claim that the Juventus senior management team all have uncertain futures as a result and that Giorgio Chiellini is the only director ‘guaranteed’ to stay, but there are obvious issues on the pitch that should be addressed as well.

As pointed out by Opta, Juventus have conceded 46% of the first shots on target that goes against them in Serie A matches this season. In 35 instances this season, Juventus have conceded 16 goals from the first shot on target they have faced. The rate of 46% is higher than any other team in Serie A.

This points to an issue in goal: Michele Di Gregorio’s future at the club has been in doubt for quite a while now, but it also shows that there is an ongoing defence with their general defensive solidity.
