Juventus vs Malmö: The Bianconeri are set for another low-scoring win

Juventus have played two excellent games in the Italian league, beating Salernitana and Genoa 2-0 on aggregate. Max Allegri’s side will now take on Malmo in the Champions League. And if they win, and Chelsea lose points in the game with Zenit in the parallel match, they will take 1st place in the group. We’ll pick a few options to bet on at once.

After the match against Genoa, even the most ardent fans of Alvaro Morata have to admit that the Spaniard frankly is not at his best. If Morata had converted at least one of his chances, Juve would have won earlier and more convincingly. It was 2-0 with Juan Cuadrado’s direct strike from a corner in the first half and Paulo Dibala’s goal in the game’s dying stages. And Morata already has a 2.39 xg difference between expected goals and actual goals of 5.39 xg to 3.

Juventus suffered a heavy defeat in the Champions League away to Chelsea 0-4 in Matchday 5. It was the most painful defeat of the season, which left Massimiliano Allegri’s side at the top of their group and left them shaken mentally. Juve’s next league game saw them lose 0-1 at home to Atalanta.

After a home draw with Zenit in the Champions League, Malmö have no chance of continuing their fight in the European competitions. This allowed Jon-Dahl Tomasson’s team to fight quietly for the national championship. The battle succeeded. Having played to a 0-0 draw with Halmstad on the eve of the trip to Juventus, Malmö secured the league title. The team defended last year’s title. The club now has 22 titles as the best team in Sweden. No one else has more. Gothenburg is second in the national championship with 18 titles.

The upcoming match has tournament significance for Juventus. If Chelsea lose in St. Petersburg, the Bianconeri will take 1st place in the group if they win. But that’s not even the point. Juve need to win every game against inferior opponents from a psychological point of view. The team needs to understand that Max Allegri’s football still works. And if you keep working hard, the result will come sooner or later. The Bianconeri must beat opponents like Malmö.
