Match Preview

Massimiliano Allegri’s side have some points to prove ahead of our Juventus vs Sporting CP preview and Champions League predictions after a 2-1 defeat at the Juventus Stadium at the weekend versus Lazio. The Bianconeri had been unbeaten at home in Serie A for over two years.

Juventus will, therefore, be looking to bounce back as quickly as possible versus Sporting CP. After taking that stinging defeat, which leaves them winless in their last two league games, they can instead focus on Europe to take their minds off things.

Our Juventus vs Sporting CP predictions are based on this motivation to put a smile back on their fans’ faces, which means that we are backing the hosts to a comfortable win with this week’s UEFA Champions League Group D odds.

Sporting triumphed in their opening away game in Group D, beating Olympiacos by a 3-2 scoreline, but the Bianconeri are a much better unit than their previous opponents. Giorgio Chiellini and company will be putting up far stronger resistance.

Juventus vs Sporting CP Prediction and Betting Advice

After disappointing results against Lazio and Atalanta in Serie A, we should be able to take advantage of this little blip in Juventus’ form to find some further value this week. An unexpected home defeat means that there is some added value in the market. William Hill offer the best odds for the Bianconeri to take three Group D points without conceding at their end.

The hosts have kept five clean sheets in their last six consecutive home matches. Olympiacos couldn’t find the back of the net in Turin, with Cagliari, Chievo, Fiorentina, and Torino also firing blanks. Allegri’s side will be confident that they will be able to shut Sporting out this week in similar fashion.

The away side haven’t kept a clean sheet themselves on the road since August, with Juve definitely having the quality to take full advantage of any defensive weaknesses that the Portuguese club are arriving in Italy with.

Ahead of our Juventus vs Sporting CP bets, Paulo Dybala has been in terrific form during the opening weeks of the 2017/2018 campaign. The Argentina international has scored 10 times in eight Serie A appearances, and he should be capable of taking that domestic form into European action before long.

The 23-year-old striker is yet to find the back of the net in Champions League, but home clashes should be where he gets the chance to see plenty of the ball and create problems for the opposition defence. After an international break that was all about Lionel Messi, Dybala can change the narrative again at Juve.

Our Juventus vs Sporting CP picks back a simple win for the home side, who should be capable of holding their opposition at arm’s length. Dybala is one of their danger men, and after a quiet couple of weeks for the former Palermo man, he should be primed to burst back onto the scene post-international break, with Unibet offering the best value on an anytime strike.
