Juventus hosts Chelsea in round 2 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, September 29th at Allianz Stadium (Turin)
It will take time for Allegri to make Juventus competitive again in the Champions League. In the meantime, we observe that the Old Lady either stalls in Serie A or even loses points. At the start of the season, it scored only two points in four rounds. And now we are seeing how Juventus beats teams such as Sampdoria and Spezia with only a minimal score. The Black-and-Whites had only two strong opponents in the current season, and they could not win in both cases. Now they will have to compete with the current holders of the Champions League Cup.

Under Tuchel, Chelsea lost for the first time to a top team (after all, Leicester has not grown to such a status, and Arsenal has long lost it). Thomas has been managing the Blues for almost a year. During this period, they beat Manchester City three times, earned four points in matches against Liverpool, dealt with Atletico and Real Madrid, and took one point away from Old Trafford. That is, Chelsea shows a great game against European giants, and one misfire is not indicative. In addition, the Pensioners lost to Manchester City in the fight, and they practically didn’t let the Citizens do anything in the first half. There is no panic after the first defeat in the current season. On the contrary, Tuchel will try to make amends and motivate his players to fight against Juventus.
The Old Lady can play reliably in defense, when it deliberately bets on it. So, it won't be easy for Chelsea. Actually, Tuchel's team does not score much, especially in such status matches. You can remember all the matches of the Blues in the last Champions League — they have never scored more than two goals. Even Zenit conceded only one goal at Stamford Bridge. Finally, in the last matches, Chelsea looked for its game for a long time and did not create anything in the 1st half. However, the Blues conceded only two goals in the current season, and one of them was scored from the penalty spot. And they showed a good game with ten men at Anfield. It was hard for them against Manchester City, but only because of the hard pressure of the Citizens. Juventus is clearly not capable of this. So, it turns out that you should not expect a goal show in the upcoming match. There will be a cautious game from the hosts, and the visitors began to show bright football only in the second half. At the same time, I exclude the victory of the Old Lady. Even if Liverpool and Man City barely beat Chelsea, it will be much more difficult for Juventus to do it.
Prediction for the match: Chelsea to win with +0.5 handicap and Under 3.5 goals scored
