Champions League Betting Tips – Chelsea vs Juventus
With Juventus already qualified for the knockout stages, Chelsea might have an easier ride than expected at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.
The Blues are also flying high in the EPL so could have the confidence to overcome their Serie A opponents here. But Juventus seems to be concentrating on European glory at the expense of domestic triumph this season – and the Bianconeri may be interested in finishing top of the group, with an eye on a more favourable round of 16 draw.
Read on for a full preview of this match up and for Champions League Betting Tips.
Chelsea vs Juventus – Recent Form
Chelsea have lost just twice in all competitions this season – to Manchester City in the Premier League and Juventus in this competition. That should make Thomas Tuchel wary of the opposition here but proves that he has turned the club around after the tactical confusion of the Frank Lampard reign.
Juventus has had a tougher time of it in Serie A, taking five games to record their first victory of the season. But Max Allegri will be much happier with the European results. It has been four wins out of four so far, including what might be a crucial victory over Chelsea in the reverse fixture.
Chelsea vs Juventus Recent Matchups
Juventus enjoys the slight advantage in the head-to-head record between these two clubs and were able to narrowly beat Chelsea at home at the end of September. Chelsea have to go back to 2009 for their only win against the Serie A giants – but there could be a second this week.
Champions League Betting Tips – Chelsea vs Juventus Stats and Analysis
Chelsea has taken to this Champions League campaign without the fireworks, scoring just the six goals in four games so far. Four of them came in the win against Malmo as well. But with just the one goal conceded – against Juventus – Tuchel has obviously prioritised the defence when it comes to navigating the group.
Juventus have scored nine goals in their games so far and have been able to overcome the weaker clubs in the group without too much trouble. But the 1-0 win against Chelsea showed that Allegri will also be keen to shore up the defence away from home in a bid to finish top of Group H.
Champions League Betting Tips – Chelsea vs Juventus
With Juventus guaranteed a place in the next round there is little value in taking the odds of around 6.00 for an away win here. Chelsea are the big favourites at 1.55 but the draw might produce some healthy winning returns. Odds of around 4.00 look interesting considering Juve probably only need a point to help win the group.
If the total goals markets are of interest, then under 2.5 is probably the way to go. There was only one goal scored in the previous game between these two and Juventus will surely play it tight at the back and look to attack on the counter. The odds of 2.20 for both teams not to score and for there to be under 2.5 goals looks good.
