Atlético Madrid’s home form in La Liga since the last weekend of February has been excellent (W8, D1), and four of the last six wins in that sequence have seen Atlético Madrid score the decisive goal beyond the hour mark.
These two are no strangers to one another in the UEFA Champions League (UCL), meeting in the Round- of-16 only this spring. The host of each leg on the day won ‘to-nil’ by a margin of 2+ goals, winning the second half precisely by a 2-0 scoreline.
Juventus can take great encouragement from the fact that they’ve won over half (five) of their last eight UCL away games. Top seeds in this UCL group, Juventus’ last group stage away game against a Pot 2 team was one of the three wins ‘to-nil’ in that sequence.
Over on the domestic scene, four of Juventus’ last six Serie A (SA) fixtures have now seen at least one team fail to score, while over half (five) of the last eight halves played across Juventus’ last four SA road trips have produced no goals.
