Juventus fail to win first four Serie A games in 60 years

Juventus have failed to win any of their first four Serie A games for only the fourth time, the most recent example being 1961-62.

The Bianconeri sit in 18th place in the table after just two points from the opening four rounds, drawing with Udinese and Milan, losing to Empoli and Napoli.

The last time the Old Lady reached the end of Serie A Week 4 without a single victory was back in 1961-62, a gap of 60 years.

It is the fourth occasion in which Juventus have failed to win the opening four rounds, as this club also achieved the unfortunate feat in 1955-56 and 1942-43.

Juventus have also failed to keep a Serie A clean sheet since March 2, conceding in 18 consecutive rounds.

Their only clean sheet in all competition since March was in the Champions League, a midweek 3-0 victory away to Swedish side Malmo.

There seems to be a recurring theme here too, as Juventus had the lead against Udinese only to draw 2-2, went in front at Napoli and lost, then broke the deadlock with Milan and were held 1-1.
