Celta Vigo have had a shaky start to the campaign with just one win in their first nine outings across all competitions and their attack has often looked blunt failing to score in five of those games. After grinding out four draws early on they finally broke their duck with a 5-0 thrashing of Racing before the international break but the three-week pause did them no favours as they returned to their old ways with a goalless draw away at Elche.
Team Form
- Celta have struggled to find the net regularly and sit with only one victory from nine matches
- Juventus have shown more quality overall despite dropping points in Serie A
- The Italian side bounced back strongly in Europe with a 5-0 home win over NEC
- Celta lost their Europa League opener 0-1 away to Omonia
Tactical Analysis
Juventus may have only managed a late 1-1 draw with Cagliari at the weekend but the squad depth and attacking options give them a clear edge in this matchup. Celta’s defence has looked vulnerable while their forwards have gone missing in too many games and the visitors from Turin should be able to control the tempo and create better chances. The gap in overall quality is obvious even if Juventus are still chasing the leaders in their domestic league.
Betting Proposal
Juventus have the tools to grind out a result on the road and their recent European form suggests they will be too strong for a Celta side that lacks cutting edge. The away win looks the smart play here.
Juventus to win away at odds of 2.12.
