Juventus return to Serie A action after the World Cup break as they are welcomed by Cremonese to the Stadio Giovanni Zini on Wednesday.
The Bianconeri have won each of their last six league games without conceding a goal, and the last time they registered more wins consecutively without conceding in Serie A was back in March 2018 (nine under current boss Massimiliano Allegri). They have been particularly dangerous in the second half as they have got 16 of their 24 strikes after the break.
Cremonese, meanwhile, are yet to record a win in the current league season and are languishing down in 18th spot with just seven points from 15 matches. History is also not on their side as they have never beaten Juventus in Italy's top flight. Only a dramatic turnaround in fortunes will see them post an upset against Allegri's side, who will be looking to displace AC Milan in second place with the three points on offer.
