Juventus will be aiming to maintain their 100% record in this season’s UEFA Champions League when they face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.

Max Allegri’s side sit first in Group H after winning each of their opening four games, although their domestic form has been questionable this term.

Meanwhile, Chelsea find themselves second – three points behind Juventus – having picked up three wins and one loss so far.

The Blues extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table on Saturday, claiming a comfortable 3-0 victory over Leicester City.

Thomas Tuchel’s men enjoyed 62% possession and racked up 16 shots at the King Power Stadium, with Antonio Rudiger, N’Golo Kante and Christian Pulisic getting on the scoresheet.

Chelsea have lost just one of their 12 league outings this season, registering nine wins and two draws along the way.

In the Champions League, the Blues beat Zenit St Petersburg before securing back-to-back victories over Malmo. However, they lost 1-0 to Juventus on Matchday 2.

Remarkably, Chelsea have conceded just seven goals in 18 matches across all competitions this term – keeping 11 clean sheets in the process.

As for Juventus, they beat Malmo and Chelsea before doing the double over Zenit. They have scored nine goals in four UCL games, conceding only twice.

In Serie A, however, Allegri’s men have only managed to win six of their 13 matches – recording three draws and four losses along the way.

That said, Juve head into Tuesday’s clash on the back of successive clean-sheet victories over Fiorentina and Lazio.

Despite seeing just 42% possession, the Old Lady beat Lazio 2-0 last time out – with Leonardo Bonucci bagging two penalties.

Head-to-head: As we know, Juventus beat Chelsea 1-0 back in September. Despite seeing only 26% possession last time around, Juve converted their single shot on target.

When you look at the bigger picture, Juventus have lost just one of their five meetings with the Blues over the years and come into this clash on a four-game unbeaten streak in this fixture.

Team news: Chelsea will be without the injured Mateo Kovacic on Tuesday. However, Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner are close to returning.

Juventus travel to London with four players on the sidelines due to injury. Federico Bernardeschi, Mattia De Sciglio, Giorgio Chiellini and Aaron Ramey are not expected to make the trip.

Although Juventus got the better of Chelsea in the reverse fixture, Tuchel’s men are expected to come out on top this time around.

Forbet predicts that Chelsea will keep yet another clean sheet on their way to dispatching Juventus, scoring over 1.5 goals in the process.
