Juventus – Villarreal : Preview & Prediction
Juventus are coming back strongly in recent weeks. Indeed, the Bianconeri are unbeaten in almost 12 games in all competitions. They have been able to consolidate their place in the top four of Serie A. Massimiliano Allegri’s men have won three straight league games. Now they will be doing everything in their power to follow up in the Champions League. After finishing top of their group, ahead of Chelsea in particular, the Old Lady must face Villarreal CF in the last 16 of the Champions League. Juventus could only manage a 1-1 draw in the first leg away from home. They will therefore need to win the second leg to book their place in the quarter-finals. And it is hard not to imagine Dusan Vlahovic’s team-mates doing the job at home. For their part, Villarreal CF are not certain of qualifying for the next Champions League via La Liga. Unai Emery’s team are sixth in the Spanish league. Having finished ahead of Atalanta Bergamo in the group stage of the Champions League, they will have a different task against another Italian top flight side. The Yellow Submarine have struggled on the road, as they are only the eleventh best team in La Liga on the road. Villarreal CF must already be smiling with this round of 16 qualification, while Juventus are expecting to go much further in the Champions League. And the Bianconeri should not be shaking in front of their home crowd! In great form in recent weeks, the Old Lady will have plenty to win and reach the next round.
