Chelsea vs Juventus Prediction & Tips
Although not yet mathematically qualified for the second phase of the Champions League, Chelsea will play at Stamford Bridge against Juventus for first place in Group H. games while the Blues just need one point to be sure of the continuation in the tournament. A minor thing if we consider that Thomas Tuchel’s team has a 6-point advantage over Zenit: if Chelsea were to win this match, not only would they hook Juve at the top but would contend with them for first place in the group.
To keep their head, Juve will have to do nothing but lose or, alternatively, be defeated with a goal and scoring: in the event of a tie, in fact, the heads-up will count and by virtue of the 1-0 of the ‘Allianz Stadium also a 2-1 defeat, 3-2, etc. would play in favor of the bianconeri. In the event of a 1-0 win for Chelsea, however, it would be the goal difference that would make the difference. The odds proposed by the bookmakers give Chelsea the favorite who, among other things, have not lost in 9 official matches between the league and cups and who in the last round of the Premier League went on to win at Leicester City by 0-3 with goals by Antonio Rudiger, Ngolo Kanté and Christian Pulisic. Juventus also won the last match played, that of Serie A on the Lazio field for 2-0: once again with a few too many problems in attack, two penalties were kicked by Leonardo Bonucci to solve the Olimpico challenge . It was the third win in a row for the Old Lady between the championship and the Champions League.
At Juve there will still be Chiellini, De Sciglio and Bernardeschi while the conditions of Dybala, whose calf problem had caused him to miss the trip to Rome, and Danilo, injured just last Saturday at Lazio’s home, will be evaluated. In Chelsea, the conditions of Lukaku and Mateo Kovacic must always be checked, while Marcos Alonso and Timo Werner have recovered, who already went on the bench in the last round of the championship but did not find space during the match.
There have been 11 Under 2.5 in the last 12 games played by Chelsea in the Champions League.
In 5 of the last 6 Champions League matches, Chelsea kept the goal clean. The 1-0 suffered in Turin against Juventus on 29 September is an exception.
Juventus have won 9 of their last 10 Champions League matches.
Chelsea are unbeaten in 9 consecutive games this season between league and cups.
Chelsea are unbeaten at home in 5 consecutive games in all competitions.
For Juventus it will be difficult to pass to Stamfrod Bridge and the bianconeri would also be good with a draw like the last time in those parts dated 2012. In line with the 1-0 of the first leg and with the many Under 2.5s when Chelsea play in Champions, we are still betting on a match with less than 3 goals overall.
