2020/2021 UCL Matchday 2: Juventus Vs Barcelona Match Preview And Prediction

One of the most exciting and the most anticipated fixtures will see Barcelona travel to Turin to face Juventus on Wednesday 28th October for the 2020/2021 Champions League Group stage fixture.

Juventus maybe unbeaten in Serie A this term, but a record of 2 wins and 3 draws means they found themselves 3 points behind AC Milan who sits at the top of the table.

Juventus played a back-to-back draws against newly promoted side Crotone and a struggling Hellas Verona prove that Andreas Pirlo is still learning about is players.

Barcelona were beaten 3-1 by Real Madrid last weekend after winning their opening 2 games, Barcelona have now failed to win any of their 3 previous domestic outings.

Barcelona played out a 1-1 draw against Sevilla and a defeat to Getafe came before the loss aganst Real Madrid, meaning Barcelona are 7 points behind League leaders Real Sociedad and 6 points behind Real Madrid.

Juventus and Barcelona faced each other in both 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 Champions League respectively. Both sides claimed a 3-0 victory during that period, with two goalless draws also coming in that time. It's safe to say the recent head-to-head record between this two is even.

Juventus will be without Ronaldo due to his COVID-19 status. Mathis De Ligt, Alex Sandro and Giorgio Chiellini are sidelined.

Barcelona will be without, Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, Samuel Umtiti, Philippe Coutinho and Oscar Mingueza due to treatment and some of them haven't been cleared to play.
