The Old Lady and the Mattress Makers
Two behemoths of the footballing world clash in a mouthwatering Champions league fixture. Will the nifty Griezmann celebrate with a Fortnite dance or will the Portuguese hitman/crybaby qualify for a fourth consecutive quarter final?
Juventus
La Vecchia Signora are untouchable in the Serie A with a seemingly unattainable lead of 18 points ahead of first loser Napoli. They have yet to taste defeat in the league but do have a solitary loss at home to United(typical) in the CL group stage which was more due to complacency than anything else. Their goal scoring stats aren't too shabby at all having scored 32 goals in 14 home games in the league as well as 5 goals in 3 champions league home fixtures. They've conceded a league low of 17 goals as well, pretty darn solid.
Notable Absentees
Alex Sandro, Barzagli, Cuadrado, Khedira
Doubtful
Douglas Costa, De Sciglio
Atlético Madrid
Los Rojiblancos are a notoriously disciplined outfit under Diego Simeone's tutelage and are often involved in low scoring games with only 22.2% of their games ending in over 2.5 goals. Atleti's biggest worry is however their away form and with the measly stats of 5 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses there might be cause for worry. Despite what the stats say they are still very possibly the best team in the world when it comes to defending a lead and will definitely try to inflict some damage on the counter but the question is, can they keep Ronaldo and co out?
Notable Absentees
Diego Costa, Diego Godin, Thomas Partey, Lucas Hernandez, Filipe Luis
Betting tip
With home advantage coupled with the fact that Juventus absolutely have to go for it i will be backing a Juventus win with the odds of 18/25 at Bet365.
An alternative, safer bet for people looking to parlay is over 1.5 goals at 2/5.
