According to Tuttosport, those ultras who had bought tickets to the away fixture have decided to stay home and give up on the expensive journey as part of their protest against the club.
It comes after 12 leaders of Juventus ultras groups were arrested yesterday for criminal conspiracy, blackmail, money laundering and violence.
Juve President Andrea Agnelli had collaborated with the investigation, claiming the ultras had “blackmailed” the club by threatening to engage in racist chants or other behaviour likely to result in fines.
