Juventus vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Betting tips
At the own Allianz Stadium in Turin, Juventus receives a visit from Bayer Leverkusen from Peter Bosz on Tuesday evening. The interests are huge, as both teams did not win in their first group match in group D of the Champions League.
Juventus:
Also this season Juventus is of course one of the top favorites for winning the Champions League. Last season, the Italians allowed Ajax to eat the cheese of the bread in the quarter-finals, something that Cristiano Ronaldo and his associates should definitely not happen again this year.
Juventus had a somewhat bitter aftertaste of the 2-2 draw in the first group match two weeks ago visiting Atletico Madrid. A point in a European away match is in itself a great result, were it not for the fact that the Bianconeri still comfortably led 0-2 up to twenty minutes before the end. There is of course no mess in the air for trainer Maurizio Sarri, but it does mean that there must be won on Tuesday evening to stay on course for the winter in the European champions ball. The coach will have to do some puzzling, especially in the back right. The right backs Danilo and Mattia de Sciglio are both not fit, so there is a good chance that the Colombian Juan Cuadrado will be brought back one more line. Left back Alex Sandro was also not in the home game against SPAL (2-0) last weekend due to private circumstances, but the expectation is that the Brazilian will play again on Tuesday-evening.
Bayer Leverkusen:
For Bayer Leverkusen, Tuesday night is in fact already the death or the gladiolus, after two weeks ago the Germans were surprised by Lokomotiv Moscow with a 1-2 defeat. The team of coach Peter Bosz dominated from start to finish, with 69 percent possession and 739 correct passes (compared to only 156 good passes from Lokomotiv Moscow). Bosz is known as a coach who takes care of his teams and plays offensively, but also as someone who sometimes wants to lose sight of the defense. That was exactly what happened two weeks ago, because despite a huge preponderance, two defensive blunders cost the Germans the head. Bayer Leverkusen must therefore score points in Turin to prevent early elimination in the Champions League.
Bayer Leverkusen, however, recovered well from the failure against Lokomotiv Moscow, because in the Bundesliga, Die Werkself registered two nice victories against Union Berlin (2-0) and Augsburg (0-3). The self-confidence is therefore somewhat restored, although the Germans realize that a tough evening is waiting for them at the Allianz Stadium. “We should not be afraid,” said midfielder Nadiem Amiri. “If we play courageously, there is really something to be gained there.” Bosz can have almost his entire selection on Tuesday evening, although star player Leon Bailey is still in the rag basket.
