Maurizio Sarri’s Juventus welcome Peter Bosz’s Bayer Leverkusen to the Juventus Stadium on Tuesday night for their Champions League Group B. Juventus are unbeaten this season having won three of their last matches in a row, while Bayer are back to winning ways having won their last two but had been on a run of two losses and a draw previous to those. Bayer will be desperate for a good result here having lost to Lokomotiv Moscow in the opening round.

Juventus vs Bayer Leverkusen Betting Tips and Predictions

In their last Champions League match Juventus faced off against Atletico Madrid. They were 0-2 up after 65 minutes but ended up coming away with a 2-2 draw. Indeed, if the match had gone on much longer Atleti probably would have won but still, if you’d offered a Juve fan an away draw with the Madrid side before kickoff they’ve had taken it.

Juve will be targeting this and the home Lokomotiv matches as the ones they must win to ensure qualification for the next round. Away to Moscow and Bayer could prove tricky for them and they’ll want to take the full six points from their next two home matches.

At the weekend they saw off Spal 2-0 at home, it could easily have been four or five nil only for Spal goalkeeper Etrit Berisha having the game of his life. In team news Juventus are the walking wounded, Alex Sandro, Danilo, Douglas Costa, Mattia De Sciglio, Giorgio Chiellini, and Matia Perin are all injured. At the weekend Juventus had just two defenders on the pitch, Blaise Matuidi and Juan Cuadrado played as left and right backs and their inexperience in those positions will surely be a target for Bayer.

Bayer really messed things up the last time out in the Champions League, losing 1-2 to Lokomotiv at home. This was the match where they knew they had to win if they had any hope of qualifying for the second round. Now they face stern tests against Juve here and away to Atletico Madrid next month. It looks bad for Bayer but knowing that Juventus have been struck by some incredibly bad luck with their injuries they’ll know that they might just have a chance here of getting something.

As said above they’ve back to winning ways beating Augsburg away comfortably last week (0-3) and beating Union Berlin 2-0 the weekend before. Prior to that though they had lost two of their league matches. Away from home, it must be mentioned that Bayer have a great record; of their last eight away matches they’ve won seven, scoring 24 goals and conceding eight.

In teams news midfielder Karim Bellarabi could miss the match through illness and attacker Leon Bailey is out until the middle of next month.
