Champions League Betting

Valencia v Juventus Betting Preview – UEFA Champions League 19th September 7.45pm

Cristiano Ronaldo will be making a trip back to Spain as Juventus make a visit to Valencia in midweek to start their UEFA Champions League campaign. The Old Lady are one of the front-runners to get their hands on the title this season, as they picked up CR7 specifically for this European action. Can he help guide the Italians to a win against a Valencia side who have yet to get themselves doing this season? Read our predictions for the Valencia v Juventus fixture.

Valencia News and Form

Valencia have collected just a D3 L1 record in the new La Liga season, so it hasn’t been the greatest of starts from them. They have returned just the three goals so far in their four games and to be fair their defence hasn’t been all that bad. But they are going to come under some big pressure in his one as this is a massively difficult game for them. The first option for our Valencia v Juventus predictions is Juventus to win to nil which is at 2/1 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 15th, 2018 at 11:35 p.m.).

This is the first time since the 2015/16 season that Valencia find themselves in the Champions League group stage. On that occasion, they picked up just a W2 D0 L4 record, and only scored in three of those. Valencia have a W2 L3 record in their last five European home fixtures. They haven’t managed to pick up a clean sheet in any of their last six at home in Europe either. Five of their last six home fixtures have gone over 2.5 goals. We are going to oppose that and look under 2.5 goals at 3/4 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 15th, 2018 at 11:35 p.m.) as Juve are so strong.

Juventus News and Form

After what seemed like forever, the wait for Cristiano Ronaldo to get his first Juventus goal is over as he netted a brace in their win over Sassuolo on the weekend. Will, that now open the floodgates? Ronaldo is the 11/4 first goalscorer favourite for the match which is probably going to appeal a lot for punters* (Betting Odds were taken from September 15th, 2018 at 11:35 p.m.). Juventus are one of the leading contenders to win the Champions League this season and they certainly have the squad in place to make a deep run.

In their first European away games last season Juventus picked up a W3 D1 L1 record. They are very good out on the road in Europe and they have suffered just the one defeat in their last eleven road games in the competition (not including the 2017 Final). They are powerful and strong and a Juventus 1-0 correct score option appeals greatly at 11/2 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 15th, 2018 at 11:35 p.m.). It has been four wins from four for Juventus this season in all competitions, three of those have been by a one-goal margin.

Valencia v Juventus Predictions

Valencia haven’t quite gotten themselves up and running and the opposite can be said of Juventus. We can see the Italians doing a good enough job out on the road to bank themselves a win in this opener. The away win tops our Valencia v Juventus predictions.
