Aston Villa vs Juventus Prediction & Betting Tips (27 November)

Returning to the Champions League after many, many years, Aston Villa got off to a flying start in this league phase. The English were indeed able to perform flawlessly during the first 3 days played against Young Boys Berne 0-3, Bayern Munich 1-0 and Bologna 2-0. On the other hand, Unaï Emery's players then experienced a real disappointment on the last day, losing to everyone's surprise on the ground of Club Bruges 1-0. Following this defeat, they were relegated to 7th place in the rankings. In the Premier League, the Birmingham-based club suffered two consecutive losses against Tottenham 4-1 and Liverpool 2-0. The Villans will try to return to success next week against Crystal Palace. Absent from the European scene last year, Juventus returned to this Champions League with a smile by winning their first two matches against PSV Eindhoven 3-1 and RB Leipzig 2-3 despite being numerically inferior.

However, the Old Lady could not keep up the pace. She was first surprised at the end of the match by Stuttgart 0-1 then she was unable to get rid of the Dogues de Lille 1-1. Also, with 7 points in their pocket, the Piedmontese are in 12th place in the ranking of this C1. At the same time, Thiago Motta's players are on pace in Serie A despite their current 6th place. In fact, they are only 2 points behind the Neapolitan leader. On Saturday, the Turinese will aim for a 3rd success in a row in the league on the pitch of AC Milan.

Unaï Emery will have to take into account some defections for this poster. Indeed, the important lateral Cash and potentially holding midfielder Ross Barkley are not operational. Fortunately for him, the Spanish technician will be able to count on his duo offensive which could see the influential Rogers (3 goals and 2 assists in PL) and Watkins (5 goals and 2 assists in PL) be associated. For his part, striker Duran (4 goals in PL) must be content to come on and he is behind the two English internationals in the hierarchy. In the heart of the game, we could find the Belgians Thielemans and Onana or the Tricolore Kamara while the French Digne should take place on the left side of the defense and the truculent goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez in the cages.

Opposite, Thiago Motta, himself a former conductor of PSG under Unaï Emery, must also do without several fairly important elements. Indeed, the Brazilian internationals Bremer and Douglas Luiz, the important Winger Nico Gonzalez as well as substitutes Cabal, Adzic and Milik are all forced to withdraw this week. Even more annoying, the essential striker Vlahovic (6 goals in SA) also joined the infirmary during the last international break where he played with Serbia. Following this latest absence, the former Lille player Weah (4 goals in SA) could be aligned just like Conceiçao (1 goal and 3 assists in SA), Koopmeiners and Yildiz (3 goals and 2 assists in SA).
