Juventus hosts Zenit in round 4 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, November 2nd at Allianz Stadium (Turin)
Juventus does not shine in Serie A. However, Allegri's charges look perfect in the Champions League. They gained three victories in three matches without conceding a single goal. Having nine points, the Old Lady is in the 1st position in the group standings. The lead over the 2nd Chelsea is three points. In general, Juventus’s home statistics in the Champions League look very solid. In the last nine matches, the Black and Whites gained eight victories and suffered only one defeat. There were five Champions League matches against the representatives of Russia. Juventus won four times, and one game ended in a draw. The Zebras have a rather easy schedule now. This means that Allegri is likely to field all the strongest performers in the upcoming game.

Zenit has only three points after three rounds of the Champions League. However, the Blue-White-Sky Blues have nothing to be blamed for. They confidently beat Malmö with a 4-0 score. Yes, Semak's charges lost to Juventus and Chelsea. But both defeats were minimal (1-0). And if the Zeniters had a little more luck, they could take points from the giants of European football. In the last six matches in the Champions League, Zenit gained only one victory and suffered five defeats. Do not forget that the club did not even manage to score in four of the last five away games! The confrontations against the Italian teams in the Champions League rarely brought success for the Blue-White-Sky Blues: one victory, two draws, and four losses.
Zenith looked decent in the home match against Juventus but lost 0-1. I think that Semak's charges have even fewer chances in the return match. Whatever one may say, the Old Lady is a team of a different level. However, one should not expect that the guests from St. Petersburg will be hammered. They look very good in defense in the current Champions League group stage. At the same time, the Zebras rarely score more than two goals in the home matches of this tournament. I propose to bet on the visitors’ victory with a + 1.5 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Zenit to win with +1.5 handicap
