Juventus vs Bayer Leverkusen Betting Tips & Prediction: Old Lady to edge past Germans

Juventus vs Bayer Leverkusen betting tips and match preview for this week’s Champions League gameweek 2 fixture in Turin. Neither side won their opening fixture with Leverkusen suffering a shock loss, they now face a tough trip to Italy.

Atletico Madrid held Juventus to a 2-2 in Madrid on matchday 1 thanks to an injury-time equaliser from substitute Hector Herrera. Juve were 2-0 up in that match but failed to hold on, so they sit on one point in the group topped by Lokomotiv Moscow, who pulled off a shock to beat Beyer Leverkusen in Germany.

 

Juventus vs Bayer Leverkusen Preview: Champions League 01/10/19

Juan Cuadrado and Blaise Matuidi got the goals for Juventus in Madrid two weeks ago, but it wasn’t enough for three points. The Old Lady are second in the Serie A table, two points being Inter Milan who have a perfect record of six wins out of six this season. The sides play eachother in the Derby d’Italia at the weekend and that could shape the title race, even this early in the season.

Bayer Leverkusen were beaten 2-1 at home to Lokomotiv Moscow on matchday 1 and with both Juventus and Atletico in this tricky group, that has already left them chasing their tail in the hunt for a last 16 place. They have only won twice in their last 14 Champions League fixtures so certainly need to improve on that Champions League record.

 

Ronaldo to get Juventus off to a good start

Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t find the net in the opening match against Atletico Madrid, but we are predicting a goal for the Portuguese star here. He has scored 26 goals in 24 appearances against German sides in the Champions League, and he can add to that by scoring the first goal of this match on Tuesday night. The best odds for Ronaldo to score first against Leverkusen are 27/10 with 888Sport or you’ll get 5/6 for him to score anytime in the match. He’s scored three goals in five appearances and five goals in his last four Champions League fixtures.

 

Juventus vs Bayer Leverkusen Score Prediction – Juve to win 2-1

Juventus have scored exactly two goals in each of their last four fixtures now, winning three of them. Two of the other results have been 2-1 victories, coming against Hellas Verona and Brescia. In no match so far this season have Juve really put a team to the sword, infact their biggest margin of victory came at the weekend when they beat SPAL 2-0. Leverkusen won 3-0 at the weekend and prior to that were 2-0 winners at home to Union Berlin. They’ve also lost 4-0 away to Borussia Dortmund this season so their away form is patchy, but they do tend to score goals. With that in mind, a tight Juventus win is predicted for our betting tips and the odds for them to win 2-1 are 15/2 with Betway.
