Champions League betting and spectator preview: Juventus and Barcelona meet at Allianz Stadium to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Juventus and Barcelona.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Juventus form and stats
Last season, Juventus's Champions League journey ended in the 8th finals.Juventus have collected seven points from their first three Serie A games here at Allianz Stadium, a promising start.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Hellas Verona in the Serie A last time out and are looking for a win here. A strong away win before that one, visiting Dynamo Kyiv and winning 2-0.
Dejan Kulusevski was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Hellas Verona after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
This is expected to be a close game, with Juventus perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Juventus as a small favourite), we find three games. Juventus has won one of these, drawn one and lost one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Juventus as they are travelling to their away game against Spezia in the Serie A. That match is four days after this one.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (7 in 3 games), Juventus's attacking play is working. Defensively Juventus have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 3 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Barcelona form and stats
Barcelona was sent out of Champions League in the 8th finals last season.Things could have gone better for Barcelona in their La Liga away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
Home advantage was not enough for Barcelona in their previous game, as they lost their La Liga-match, hosting Real Madrid, 1-3. Prior to that match, a home win 5-1 against Ferencvaros in the Champions League.
It's a bit worrying for Barcelona that their goalkeeper Neto made six saves in the Real Madrid game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by Barcelona in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for Barcelona, one draw and two defeats.
Barcelona has another fixture away, a La Liga game, against Deportivo Alaves in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
It's early days yet, but Barcelona has scored 3 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
As for the last six games between these two teams, there's one Juventus victory, two draws and three Barcelona wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
