Juventus host Stuttgart in the Champions League on Tuesday night at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. The Italian side are looking to continue their terrific start to the season, whilst Stuttgart will be looking to return to winning ways after their 5 game winless streak.
Juve have enjoyed a brilliant start to the season under new boss Thiago Motta. In fact, they are yet to taste defeat in their opening ten games this season in all competitions. The Italian giants have made the Allianz a fortress – they are unbeaten in their previous 14 games at home. This coupled with their outstanding defence is a huge reason for the Italian’s success this season.
They have been very hard to break down with seven clean sheets in ten games conceding just one goal in Serie A. Impressively only 1/6 sides who have faced Juventus at the Allianz Stadium this season have registered an xG of 1.00 or more. In these 6 matches they have conceded just 11 shots on target averaging at 1.83 per game. In the Champions League they have impressed with 2/2 wins. Registering a convincing 3-1 over Dutch side PSV followed by a great 3-2 win away at RB Leipzig despite being down to ten men.
Confidence is low in the Stuttgart camp following a damaging 4-0 defeat to Bayern Munich at the weekend. The Germans have struggled away from home, with 2/6 wins on the road with one coming in the DFB-Pokal against lower league Munster. They have been weak defensively conceding two or more in 4/6 games on the road. In the Champions League they have struggled after losing 3-1 to Real Madrid and drawing at home to Sparta Prague. The Germans could be in for a very tricky night vs this stubborn Italian defence.
TIP: Juventus To Win @ 2.00 (Bet365)
