THE PREDICTION
A hugely disappointing defeat to Maccabi Haifa last time out has, in all likelihood, put paid to Juventus’ hopes of reaching the knockout stage, but if they are to keep their slim hopes alive, they simply must beat Benfica here. That is easier said than done however, with the Portuguese side still unbeaten in all competitions this season. That is 19 competitive games without defeat in 2021-22, and against an inconsistent Juventus outfit they have already beaten this season, you would expect them to extend that streak. A home win is in the offing.
