Tottenham v Juventus Betting Preview – UEFA Champions League 7th March 7.45pm

Tottenham are arguably in the driving seat now in this Champions League tussle with Juventus. They were down and out early on in Turin but fought back tremendously well to come out with a 2-2 draw and that boost of away goals gives them the upper hand in the tie. Juventus may be a little stronger in terms of personnel for this one though and will be looking to pull off a big night at Wembley.

Tottenham News and Form

Spurs did a wonderful job in fighting their way back from 2-0 down against Juventus out in Turin in the first leg. At 2-1 down though they dodged a huge bullet as the Italians missed a penalty kick. Only once before have Spurs been at this stage of the competition so are relatively inexperienced at all this, but they are holding a slight advantage through away goals at the moment. They won all three of their group stage games at Wembley scoring three goals in each of those games, which included a win over Real Madrid.

In the William Hill correct score market for this second leg, the 1-1 draw is the shortest-priced option at 6/1* (Betting Odds taken at 00:41 p.m. on March 5th, 2018). Spurs hold an unbeaten record of seven home games against Italian sides (W4 D3) and they have won four of their five previous two-legged UEFA contests against Italian opposition as well. The stats do look good for them as the Lilywhites have won all six of their ties in Europe after having drawn the first leg away from home. Harry Kane is running as the 3/1 first goalscorer favourite* (Betting Odds taken at 00:41 p.m. on March 5th, 2018) for the match and Spurs have every reason to be confident.

Juventus News and Form

Juve have a W5 L3 record from round of sixteen ties in the UEFA Champions League. They are carrying good away from in Europe at the moment too with a W3 D3 record going in their last six away from Turin. In last year’s campaign, Juve won five of their six away matches in last season’s UEFA Champions League, drawing the other one so are still going to put up a tough fight. They are unbeaten in seven now against English sides as well with a W3 D4 record and were on a three-match winning streak against Premier League sides before that 2-2 draw in Turin with Spurs. The Bianconeri have a poor record away to English clubs of just W3 D6 L12. The last time that they went to England was to face Man City in the 2015/16 group stage and they won that 2-1. In two-legged knockout ties against English clubs, Juventus are W5 L8 but have lost each of their last five ties. Both teams to score at William Hill is at 4/6 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 00:41 p.m. on March 5th, 2018). Juventus at the moment are on a massive 19 game streak in all competitions without defeat (W17 D2) and they have conceded just the one goal in their last ten games away from home (W10). If you take out the draw with Spurs, Juve have conceded one goal in their last 19 in all competitions.
