Juventus vs Nantes Prediction & Tips
Back in Europe at the beginning of the season, FC Nantes managed to get out of its Europa League group. The Canaries will now meet Juventus, for the playoffs of the C3. Their opponent of the day was reversed from the Champions League. The first round will be held this Thursday, at 21:00. It is Juventus who will host on the side of the Allianz Stadium. Knowing a very complicated exercise, with notably a withdrawal of 15 points in Serie A, the Old Lady could bet big on the Europa League. And Massimiliano Allegri’s men will try to put themselves in the best position after this first leg at home…
This is clearly not the perfect season for Juventus fans… In addition to being only in 9th place in Serie A (due to a 15 point drop), the Old Lady also had to settle for 3rd place in their Champions League group, behind Benfica Lisbon and PSG. From now on, the Bianconeri are reversed in the Europa League. Remaining on 3 successes in a row, all competitions included, the team of Massimiliano Allegri will meet FC Nantes, this Thursday, in front of its public. And it hopes to do the job! Of course, its opponent of the day has not lost for 3 games. However, the Nantes club is only in 13th place in Ligue 1. It’s hard to imagine that they will be able to compete with a Serie A team.
For the return of the Europa League, Juventus will have to deal with some absentees. Fabio Miretti, Paul Pogba, Arkadiusz Milik and Kaio Jorge will not be present. However, Massimiliano Allegri hopes to rely on the return to form of Dusan Vlahovic. He was able to offer 2 goals and 1 assist in the victory of his team against Salernitana, last February 7 (3-0). He will also be accompanied by Angel Di Maria and Nicolò Fagioli on the pitch of the Allianz Stadium. In the ranks of Nantes, Quentin Merlin and Moses Simon will not be available. Jean-Charles Castelletto also remains uncertain, after being out with an injury last weekend against FC Lorient. Antoine Kombouaré hopes to see the first goal of Andy Delort, who arrived during the last winter mercato. The Nantes technician will also expect a lot from Alban Lafont. The young tricolored goalkeeper will have to work hard during this match.
