BournemouthStarts in Carabao Cup win
Di Gregorio kept a clean sheet in his Bournemouth debut during Tuesday's 4-0 Carabao Cup win over Lincoln City.
Analysis: Di Gregorio received his first start since joining Bournemouth on loan from Juventus after being an unused substitute in the previous two Premier League matches. The Italian marked the opportunity with a shutout as Bournemouth comfortably advanced to the next round. Djordje Petrovic remains the established first-choice goalkeeper in league play, but Di Gregorio's debut suggests he should see opportunities in cup competitions while providing experienced competition between the posts.
Joins Bournemouth on loan
Di Gregorio has joined Bournemouth on a season-long loan from Juventus, the club announced.
Analysis: Di Gregorio arrives with considerable Serie A and European experience, having previously been named Serie A's Best Goalkeeper for the 2023/24 campaign after recording 14 clean sheets across 37 appearances in all competitions with Monza. The 29-year-old spent the past two seasons with Juventus and should provide strong competition between the posts following his move to England. Djordje Petrovic remains Bournemouth's No. 1, though Di Gregorio's experience and shot-stopping ability should allow him to push for playing time throughout the campaign.
Poor in Fiorentina meeting
Di Gregorio had two saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-0 defeat against Fiorentina.
Analysis: Di Gregorio couldn't stop a catchable shot by Cher Ndour and was beaten from distance by Rolando Mandragora. He was in fine form prior to this round. He has kept four clean sheets in the last six fixtures, giving up three goals and making 12 saves. Up next, Juventus will face Torino away next Sunday.
Secures clean sheet against Lecce
Di Gregorio recorded three saves and one clearance and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 1-0 win versus Lecce.
Analysis: Di Gregorio wasn't too busy and was sure-handed on a pair of close-range efforts in the second half. He has bounced back nicely after getting benched for a month, keeping four clean sheets in the last five matches, conceding once and making 10 saves during that stretch. Juventus will host Fiorentina next Sunday.
Two saves against Verona
Di Gregorio registered two saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Verona.
Analysis: Di Gregorio endured a frustrating match in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Hellas Verona, beaten at his near post by Kieron Bowie's deflected finish in the first half. The Italian goalkeeper regained his composure in the second half and made a sharp stop to deny a Verona counterattack in the closing stages, but his side's failure to convert 29 shots into more than one goal made the result feel like a costly drop of two points in the top-four race. Di Gregorio has kept 12 clean sheets across 28 Serie A appearances this season, making 56 saves and conceding 23 goals during that span. He will look to bounce back in the next match against Lecce.
Blanks Milan on Sunday
Di Gregorio made one save and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 0-0 draw against AC Milan.
Analysis: Di Gregorio had to intervene just once and was bailed out by the crossbar on a strong effort by Alexis Saelemaekers. He stayed on goal even though Mattia Perin returned from injury, keeping his third straight clean sheet. He hasn't conceded and made eight saves in four matches since getting the starting job back. Up next, Juventus will face Verona away Sunday.
Unbeaten again in Bologna game
Di Gregorio made one save and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 2-0 win against Bologna.
Analysis: Di Gregorio was called into action only once late in the match as Juventus had a dominant display. He has kept two clean sheets and saved a PK, making seven saves and without conceding, in three fixtures since Mattia Perin suffered a calf injury and might hold onto the starting job the rest of the way. Up next Juventus will face Milan away Sunday.
