Atletico Madrid With Work to do in Group D
Juventus FC vs Atlético Madrid - 26/11/2019
4350
Juventus are currently top of the group with 10 points from their 4 matches played and are guaranteed a place in the knockout stages. The same cannot be said for Atletico Madrid who are in 2nd place on 7 points ahead of their trip to Turin on Tuesday night.
We are fast reaching the closing stages of the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League groups and there is still plenty to play for in Group D.
A win for Atletico Madrid will send them through to the round of 16 but a defeat will leave them needing to pick up points in their final match of the group.
Juventus come into the match having recorded a 2-1 win at Lokomotiv Moscow last time out. The Italian champions opened the scoring after only 4 minutes but it did not take long for the Russians to find an equaliser and the teams went in level 1-1 at half time. It looked as though the game was going to end as a draw but Douglas Costa scored an excellent goal in injury time to seal the win.
It was a third win in 4 matches for Juventus in Group D with their only dropped points coming away from home against upcoming opponents Atletico Madrid. Juventus were leading that game 2-0 and will be disappointed to have conceded 2 goals in the final 20 minutes of the match.
Trends show Juventus have won 4 of their last 5 home Champions League games with the only defeat coming at the hands of Ajax last season. Juventus have scored 2 or more goals in 3 of their last 4 home Champions League matches and both teams have scored in 2 of their last 4.
Atletico Madrid expected to come away with at least a point from their previous Champions League game away against Bayer Leverkusen. However, they fell behind just before half time and then conceded a second goal 10 minutes into the second half. By the time Atletico Madrid pulled a goal back it was too late and they lost 2-1.
It was their first defeat of this group having previously won 2 and drawn one of their 3 games. Their away record in the Champions League is not good and Atletico Madrid have won only 2 of 11 matches. There have been 5 draws during those 11 games.
Team news and Juventus are without Douglas Costa and Giorgio Chiellini due to injury. Alex Sandro, Adrien Rabiot and Federico Bernardeschi are all rated as doubtful.
Atletico Madrid travel without injured striker Diego Costa and defender Sime Vrsaljko. Central defenders José Giménez and Stefan Savic are doubtful.
With qualification already in the bag, Juventus can afford to rotate their team if they wish. That could play into the hands of Atletico Madrid but their away record in this competition is not good and perhaps the best they can hope for is a draw.
