Juventus form and stats

Juventus was eliminated in the 8th finals last season in the Champions League. Porto was too strong.

Juventus have played 8 Serie A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). This match is a Champions League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 4 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss in this competition.

The Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 242 minutes without conceding a goal in the Serie A.

A nice win for Juventus last time playing, versus Genoa. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0 with Juan Cuadrado and Paulo Dybala scoring for the victors.

Malmö FF form and stats

Malmö's mission in Europa League last season failed in the play-offs.

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 9 wins, 3 draws and only 3 losses in the Allsvenskan. Total Champions League statistics for Malmö FF: 5 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses. Having won their last three away games Malmö has no reason to fear anyone.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Malmö goalkeeper Johan Dahlin is eager to challenge this, with his 200 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Malmö's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Halmstad that finished 0-0. Niklas Moisander, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.51. Moisander won 7 of 10 duels.

Prior to that result Malmö won their away game at Kalmar in the Allsvenskan. The scoreline was 1-0.

Malmö are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 27 times in 15 away games so far. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (14 so far). It's worth mentioning that 10 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

This isn't the first time these two teams meet on the pitch this season, as the records show this recent game: Malmö FF - Juventus 0-3. As for the last three games between these two teams, there's three Juventus victories, zero draws and zero Malmö FF wins. Over/under statistics; one of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.
