Following the first round of the group stage Juventus are number three on zero points, while Benfica have three points as number one.

Getting through the group phase of the Champions League should be a mere formality for Juventus, who are once again aiming to go deep. They join an elite few who, with Lady Luck on their side, could attempt to reach for the title.

Benfica enter the Champions League as big outsiders for actually winning the title, when once again going up against the big guns. However, getting through to the knockout round does not look beyond them, should they gain a bit of momentum.

Juventus only average a modest 1.2 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 12 goals. They also conceded 14 for an average of 1.4 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring three times.

Benfica show off splendid stats in their last ten matches, where they hit the target 2.4 times on average per game. They scored 24 goals and conceded four, an average of 0.4 a game. They held on for a clean sheet in seven of these.

Juventus vs Benfica Prediction

Juventus have been too mediocre in their last three matches, where a win has failed to come their way. Against Fiorentina, they gained a point in a 1-1 draw, before coming up short against PSG, who ran out 2-1 winners. Lately, they managed to steal a point in a 2-2 draw with Salernitana. Juventus won five of their last six Champions League matches at Allianz Stadium, scoring 12 and conceding seven along the way. They lost once but didn't draw a single match.

In their last three matches, Benfica first beat Vizela 2-1, then Maccabi Haifa by 2-0 and finally Famalicao by 0-1. Benfica won three of a possible six away matches in the Champions League, as well as playing two draws and suffering one defeat. They scored 11 while also conceding nine times.

Juventus go into their match at Allianz Stadium as favourites with the bookies, but form has been too shabby for us to back that claim. We prefer a bet on Benfica, while the more cautious punter might prefer the double-chance.

Juventus vs Benfica Betting Tips

As the new Champions League campaign has recently started, we are still a bit in the dark, as to which striker will dominate the top scorer table for Juventus and Benfica this season. However, there might be some interesting prospects, when looking at the list of players who are in the best form at the moment.

Juventus were able to win five of their previous 10 home games across all tournaments, while drawing three of the games. They suffered defeat in two of these outings. Benfica won ten of their last 10 games away, drew zero and suffered defeat in zero of them. Benfica are excellent at shutting up shop with no less than eight clean sheets in the last 10 away matches. Meanwhile, Juventus have been able to keep a clean sheet in four of their last 10 home games.

Benfica scored an average of one goal in these, while both teams scored three times. Juventus saw over 2.5 goals in five of their last ten matches across the tournaments, as they scored an average of 1.2 goals during this run. Over 2.5 goals happened in six of the visitor's last ten games this season. On average, they scored 2.4 times in those matches.

Tips

Double Chance: X2

Though favourites for the win, we are uncertain the current form of Juventus backs this claim. We believe there is good value in Benfica, perhaps with the backing of the draw.

Benfica to win

Juventus look a little out of sorts and confidence could be vital to which way this encounter turns out. With the home side short on confidence, Benfica is the value bet.

Draw

We are opting for a draw, as Juventus have settled for a point after 90 minutes in several recent matches. Benfica could be satisfied with taking a point back home.

Juventus to win

This particular encounter between Juventus and Benfica looks a little trickier for the favourites, than prices with the bookmakers suggest. All things considered, though, we still believe, the home side has enough about them to pull off a win this coming Wednesday.
