MATCH PREVIEW: Juventus vs Tottenham
This match is going to be a really intense one. As both teams are hoping to progress on the continental stage.
JUVENTUS
The home team, are undefeated in 19 of their last 21 UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE MATCHES. In the SERIA-A they continued their impressive run of form with a fine 2 nil away win at Fiorentina during the weekend. They have also conceded only a single goal in their last 16 matches.
But injury crisis to key players such as Paulo Dybala, Juan Cuadrado, Blaise Matuidi and Andrea Barzagli will cause selection headache for head coach Massimiliano Allegri.
TOTTENHAM
The only concern for the Mauricio Pochettino led team is the fitness of Toby Alderweireld who has been left in London to build his fitness and so won't be available for selection.
Tottenham have won 6 of their last 7 matches in the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE. Their Saturday's 1-0 victory over north London rivals Arsenal would act as a major boost to their morale. But there is a big worry about their away form. As they have only managed to secure 2 wins from their last 8 away matches.
PREDICTIONS
Juventus are meant to take all the points from this match with a full squad, but their injury concerns gives Tottenham a chance in this game. Spurs striker Harry Kane is in one of the best forms of his career and should cause major problems for the Juve defense.
Prediction: Juventus 1 - 1 Tottenham
Goal scorers: Gonzalo Higuain and Harry Kane
Tottenham would enjoy more of the possession in this game.
