Juventus has lost its solid home base. After a decade of dominance at Allianz, the Allianz Stadium has become a point of tension for the Bianconeri, who are no longer able to use their home as an advantage. In 2024 the team won only two of six home games, drew with Verona and lost against Fiorentina, while the current season saw draws with Milan and defeats against Lazio. In total, the average points per game at home has dropped to 1.3, a value that highlights the club's fragility in its comfort zone.

Despite the high turnout - with an average of 40,711 spectators and a capacity of 97.7% during the previous season - the Juventus fans began to express their frustration with boos and protests. The climate of support, once a real "steamroller", has transformed into increasing pressure when the team fails to capitalize on points at home. Fans, accustomed to higher results, no longer tolerate technical errors or disadvantageous situations that can turn into "groans" from the stands.

Historically the stadium has been a pillar of Juventus. Allianz have hosted 284 wins from 393 matches in all competitions, with a win rate of 72.3%. The club also set records such as the 102 points in the 2013/14 league title and the 33 consecutive victories between October 2015 and April 2017. Three seasons – 2011/12, 2013/14 and 2016/17 – they were unbeaten at home, while on four other occasions – 2014/15, 2015/16, 2019/20 and 2023/24 – the team suffered only one defeat. These past successes are often cited as an example of how Juventus can still turn their home into an advantage.

The future of the team depends on the ability to reverse this negative spiral. Juventus must regain the trust of the fans and transform the stadium into an ally, not an obstacle. If he can win his home games, he will be able to restore the energy and tradition of success that have characterized the club for decades. On the contrary, if the negative trend were to continue, the team risks being trapped in a "quicksand" that threatens its position in Serie A and European competitions. The next match will therefore be a crucial test for Juventus, who will have to demonstrate that they can return to using their home as a strong point.
