Juventus are looking to close out a disappointing Champions League campaign with a positive result as they host PSG in their final Group H fixture on Wednesday. The Turin club have plenty of injury problems ahead of this one and should once again struggle against the Parisians, who are aiming to finish as group winners.
It has been a disappointing Champions League campaign for Juventus, who are in danger of crashing out of Europe completely. They have claimed just one win from five matches in the competition and must rely on the result from the other Group H fixture to secure a place in the Europa League.
Juventus suffered a 4-3 defeat to Benfica in their previous Champions League fixture. Although they bounced back with a 1-0 victory at Lecce in Serie A last Saturday, the Turin club looked far from their best.
Manager Massimiliano Allegri has an injury crisis on his hands as Juventus will be without a number of key players. Dusan Vlahovic and Angel Di Maria are among the attacking players doubtful for Wednesday’s clash while defender Gleison Bremer is also nursing an injury.
PSG head into Wednesday’s clash looking to fend of Portuguese side Benfica and finish as winners in Group H. They are currently leading the group on goal difference and a win in Turin is likely to seal top spot.
The Parisian have been superb this season under Christophe Galtier and are unbeaten across all competitions. They appear to be getting better as the season progresses and travel to the Allianz Stadium off the back of four straight wins.
Led by Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, the goals have flowed freely for PSG this season. All three men were on target as they claimed a 7-2 victory over Maccabi Haifa in their previous Champions League fixture and once again in a 4-3 win over Troyes in Ligue 1 last Saturday.
How the bookies view it
The bookies have installed PSG as overwhelming favourites with a win priced at 5/7 with 10bet. Juventus are considered outsiders at home at 21/5 by Unibet while a draw is set at odds of 31/10 by BetVictor.
Head to head
Juventus and PSG have claimed one win each from two previous meetings. The Parisians ran out 2-1 winners in the reverse fixture back in September with Kylian Mbappe netting a brace while Weston McKennie scored the only goal for the Turin club.
Players to watch
Arkadiusz Milik has proved to be an able deputy for Dusan Vlahovic and is expected to continue in place of the injured Serbian. The Polish striker was on target last time out at Benfica and is priced at 3/1 by Benfica to find the net on Wednesday.
Lionel Messi will be the one to watch for PSG as he looks to maintain his recent good form. The Argentine forward has four goals in his last three matches and is priced at 6/4 by bet365 to find the net on Wednesday.
Anything else catch the eye?
Juventus and PSG know their way to goal and both teams could be backed to score at 5/7 with SBK. There were over 2.5 goals in the reverse fixture and a repeat is priced at 13/19 with SBK while over 3.5 goals is valued at 13/8 by Unibet.
PSG have scored in both halves in their last three matches and Wednesday’s clash could be tipped to follow a similar pattern at 6/4 with bet365.
