Before that match, a loss in the away fixture against Juventus in the Europa League.

Juventus form and stats

They also participated in Champions League last season. This ended in the group stage.

6-2-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Juventus in their Serie A matches away. Total Europa League statistics for Juventus: 2 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses.

Juventus won their last game, 4-2 versus Sampdoria played at home. As you can tell from the result, the match against Sampdoria was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? The 4-2 victory against Sampdoria could easily have been bigger as the victors made a valiant effort at breaking the goal posts, hitting them three times. Midfield player Rabiot was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.32/10. Rabiot scored two goals, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 42 successful passes (of 50 total).

Before that one, the victory at home against SC Freiburg in the Europa League (1-0).

The schedule is very tough for Juventus now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie A game at Inter is waiting in only three days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Juventus as they have only managed to score 11 times from 12 away games in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (10 so far).

Head 2 Head

It's not the first time these two sides face each other this season, as the records show this recent fixture: Juventus - SC Freiburg 1-0.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
