On the upcoming Wednesday, the first match of the semifinal series between Monaco and Juventus in the Champions League will be held. Bookmakers have set the team from Turin as the favorites in the couple, although one should not forget, that the Monegasques look very powerfully in domestic matches and Juve aren’t always capable of showing their maximum.
Within the last five matches Monaco managed to win four times. The only loss in that period is dated on 26th April, when PSG devastated Monaco at their home ground within the semifinal of the French Cup. Wherein Monaco are on the first position in the French championship’s tournament table. The team has 83 points in the asset, three points more, than PSG, which are trying to reach another title as hard as they can.
Within the last five matches, Juventus managed to win three times with two draws. The victories were registered over Barcelona, Pescara and Genoa, and the draws happened with Barcelona and Atalanta. Juventus lost to Inter, Milan, Atalanta, Genoa and Fiorentina away in the championship of Italy, therefore it wouldn’t be surprising, if the team from Turin wouldn’t win in the upcoming game against such a strong competitor as Monaco.
Bookmakers noticeably underestimate Monaco in the forthcoming game against Juventus. Jardim’s team looks very powerfully in domestic games. The Monegasques were stronger, than Borussia and Manchester City in the UCL, therefore it wouldn’t be a big surprise, if Monaco wouldn’t lose in the forthcoming encounter. Juve aren’t that good in away matches, than at home.
Prediction for the match: Monaco not to lose.
