Juventus take on the visitors Nantes in the first leg of UEFA Europa League 1/16-final round. The match will be played on Thursday, February 16th at Allianz Stadium (Turin).
After a terrible scandal and the deductions of points in the championship, the Juventus players fell into true despondency. Of the four matches in Serie A and the Coppa Italia, they won only one. However, Massimo Allegri managed to pick up his guys. Juventus added again and won against Lazio and Salernitana. A big help for the "old lady" will be the return of many leaders to the ranks for the restart of European competition. Dusan Vlahovic quickly added offensive efficiency, as did Federico Chiesa, who is looking more and more like his pre-injury self. We should note that only in one of the last ten home matches did Juventus break through the bet on over 3.5 goals.

Nantes, after successful last season, dropped the level of their performance in Ligue 1. Already now we can safely say that the “Canaries” will be left without European cups, unless they win the Europa League. In the championship, they are only 13th, 15 points behind the top 5. On the one hand, Nantes lost only once in 9 matches in 2023. On the other hand, most of the team's successes are associated with the French Cup. In Ligue 1, there are still far fewer victories. But the most important thing is that the "Canaries" have never broken a bet on over 3.5 scored goals in this calendar year.
Back in 1996, moving towards its Champions League final, Juventus, on aggregate, turned out to be stronger than Nantes at the quarter-final stage of that tournament. These two matches remain the only ones in the history of battles between the "Old Lady" and the "Canaries". Massimo Allegri's team appears in the status of the favorite of the home game of the 1/16 finals of the Europa League. You can bet on the victory of Juventus for 1.37 with 8.60 on the success of Nantes. In the upcoming match, the "Old lady" is obliged to win. A rebounding Vlahovic, a healthy Chiesa, always useful in the playoffs Di Maria, Juve have enough performers to crack the Nantes defense and take advantage after the first playoff game.
Prediction for the match: Juventus to win and under 3.5 scored goals.
