Juventus vs Benfica

Juventus are aiming to boost their chances of progressing from the league phase when they host Benfica in a UEFA Champions League clash on Wednesday.

The Turin club are often solid on home soil and will be feeling confident heading into this clash. They should have the upper hand over the visitors, who have not been at their best in this competition.

Juventus News

Juventus are in the mix for the playoff places, having lost just once in their six matches so far. They earned a 2-0 home victory over Pafos in their previous league phase fixture, with Weston McKennie and Jonathan David getting the goals.

Although they were beaten 1-0 at Cagliari last weekend, Juventus' overall form has been solid, as that was their first defeat in eight matches across all competitions. The Allianz Stadium is where Luciano Spalletti's team often do their best work, winning five of their last six home matches across all competitions.

Juventus often make fast starts at home and have opened the scoring in four of their last five matches in front of their fans. They have also scored over 1.5 goals in five of their last six fixtures at the Allianz Stadium.

Benfica News

Benfica have been below their best in the league phase, with two wins and four defeats from six matches. However, they did claim a 2-0 home victory over Napoli in their previous fixture to move within one point of the top 24.

The Portuguese side claimed a 2-0 victory at Rio Ave in a domestic fixture last weekend, with Leandro Barreiro opening the scoring. That was a timely return to winning ways for Jose Mourinho's team, who had lost their previous two matches.

One positive for Benfica is that they have shown some quality on their recent travels and are unbeaten in eight of their last nine away matches across all competitions. However, they have lost two of their last three league phase matches on the road.

Head to Head

Benfica have five wins and three draws, while Juventus have picked up just one victory in the last nine matches. Both teams met in the league phase of last season’s Champions League, with the visitors claiming a 2-0 away victory.

Verdict

Juventus v Benfica

Juventus are showing some good form lately and are particularly solid at home at the moment. They have scored first in four of their last five matches at Allianz Stadium, and a repeat is expected here.

Having won five of their last six home matches, Juventus should come out on top against Benfica, who have struggled in the league phase. The Turin club have also scored over 1.5 goals in five of their last six home matches, and that trend is expected to continue.
