Nantes vs Juventus Prediction: Who will be stronger?

Nantes will face Juventus in the return leg of the Europa League Qualifying Playoff. Who will be stronger?

At the group stage, Nantes had an excellent chance to secure direct access to the Qualifying Playoff, but they could not compete with Freiburg, so they settled for the knockout rounds. The French team had no luck with their opponent. Juventus is superior on paper, but you can't tell from the first game. Nantes played excellent football (1:1).

As for Nantes' form, over the last five games, not including Juventus, they have won three games - 2:0 against Ajaccio, 2:1 after a penalty shoot-out against Angers, 1:0 against Lorient and suffered two defeats - 0:2 against Marseille and 1:3 against Lens.

Juventus got their 15 points in the Italian league not long ago, which dealt them a severe blow, but the team is not desperate and is quickly trying to regain theirs. Zebras have risen to seventh place in the standings, but they are nine points short of the superior Atalanta. In the last three rounds, Juve was stronger three times and by a total score of 6:0 - 3:0 over Salernitana, 1:0 over Fiorentina, and 2:0 over La Spezia.

Should Juventus drop out of the Europa League, this season could already be described as a failure. That's why the team will do everything possible to bring Turin victory. By the way, in the first game, the Zebras had a chance to take the lead before the return game, but they lost everything.

We wouldn't risk picking a favorite in this matchup, even though it's obvious, judging by the first game, where Juventus, seemingly a 100% contender to win, plays in a draw, even with their stands. We don't know how the Zebras will perform on the road. However, we can confidently say the meeting will be a total under. Both teams will play as cautious football as possible because getting to the next stage is on the line. With this in mind, we recommend the bet total under (2.5).
