Dusan Vlahovic has become an essential figure for Juventus, and his absence is keenly felt as the team struggles to find the back of the net. Despite ongoing criticism regarding his performances, the statistics reveal a stark reality: when Vlahovic is on the pitch, Juventus scores; when he is not, the goals dry up.
Calciomercato report how In the 16 matches that Vlahovic has played this season, Juventus have scored 25 goals, averaging 1.5 goals per game. In stark contrast, during the three matches he has missed, the team has managed to score only one goal, resulting in an average of just 0.33 goals per game. This dramatic drop underscores Vlahovic’s pivotal role in the squad.
Currently, sidelined due to a muscle injury sustained while playing for Serbia in the Nations League against Denmark, Vlahovic has missed crucial matches against Milan, Lecce, and Aston Villa in the Champions League. His injury has left Juventus without a central striker at a critical time, especially as they await the return of Arkadiusz Milik from his own injury.
The club’s reliance on Vlahovic is evident. As discussions about his contract renewal loom—his current deal runs until June 2026—the urgency to have him back on the field grows stronger. The numbers do not lie; with Vlahovic in the lineup, Juventus not only scores more but also plays with greater confidence and attacking intent.
