Stadium: Allianz (Turin)
Juventus have pulled themselves together and won two games in a row. The Bianconeri’s next opponents, though, are formidable. The current Champions League winners, Chelsea, will be at the Allianz. Will the Turin side manage to outplay such a powerful opponent? There are several options for betting at once.
Juventus concede a lot
What is happening in the new season with Juventus is very unlike Massimo Allegri’s Juve. The two UEFA Champions League finals era was characterized by a well-balanced, compact game that allowed them to succeed, even if they only scored one goal per game. Now, it’s different. Even two goals won’t guarantee a win. On the eve of the match with Chelsea, Juve played two games in which they conceded two goals, and only from La Spezia and Sampdoria. However, Juve did manage to score three goals each. Well, at least the Bianconeri started to win.
In the Champions League, Juventus started with an away game against Malmo where they scored three goals without any trouble, a significant success. After their game against Chelsea, Juve have paired fixtures with Zenit that the Turin side can’t afford.
Chelsea lose for the first time this season
Last week’s encounter in the English league was highly anticipated. Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea were preparing to beat Josep Guardiola’s Manchester City for the fourth time in a row. The plan did not work. City scored early in the second half through Gabi Jesus and kept the lead until the final whistle. 0-1 and Chelsea’s first defeat of the season.
In the Champions League, the Aristocrats kicked off with a home game against Zenit St. Petersburg. The match was not easy for Chelsea. The only goal had to be scored by Romelu Lukaku in the 69th minute. 1-0, and Chelsea got 3 points.
Expert Betting Tips
The bookmakers see Chelsea as the favourites to win the upcoming game. Juventus have had a weak start to the season, while the Aristocrats continue to progress under Thomas Tuchel. However, it’s unlikely that the visitors will prevail. Chelsea are happy with a draw in Turin, and if something goes wrong, the Londoners won’t be too keen on winning. For Juventus, on the other hand, who are just beginning their comeback as European football’s giants, every game is important now. It is better to bet on two outcomes than one.
Betting options:
- Juventus will not lose for 1.76;
- X for 3.60;
- Juventus will not lose and Total Over 1.5 for 2.74.
