Match Preview

Juventus have virtually booked their place in the final after beating Monaco 2-0 away on Wednesday in the Champions League semifinals first leg in the principality. Monaco's dangerous attack was stopped by the brilliant defensive line and the evergreen goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.

The most sensational piece of statistics is that Juventus managed to keep a clean sheet in all five Champions League matches in 2017 as we must mention in our Juventus vs Monaco preview. Therefore, Monaco don't really have a chance in the return leg in Torino. The most potent offensive line in Europe will continue trying but might be thinking of league title celebrations in France next weekend.

Buffon kept a clean sheet at home in four matches in all competitions before Neto was chosen between the posts against Torino and conceded once, and that certainly affects our Juventus vs Monaco betting tips. The Italian champions have the best goalkeeper in the world and there is absolutely no doubt about it.
