Brugge – Juventus. Forecast and announcement for the Champions League match

On January 21, “Jan Breidel” will host a match of the 7th round of the main round of the Champions League, in which “Bruges” will meet with “Juventus”. The match will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.

Bruges

Last season, the team was able to change the coach before the finish line, leapfrog Royal Union and regain the title in the Zhupiler League. This provided the Belgians with the opportunity to return to the Champions League. They started there, losing twice in the first three rounds, at home to Borussia Dortmund and in Milan to the opponent of the same name. But at the same time, it was already possible to score 10 points, beating Sturm, Aston Villa and Sporting while drawing in Glasgow with Celtic. So the club already has not one, but two feet in the playoffs, and now clearly no less attention will be paid not to meetings in the European Cup, but to focus on the race in the domestic arena, where there is a tough race with Genk, and Nicky Heyen’s wards are in it so far in the unpleasant status of catching up.

Juventus

Last season, the club returned to third place in Serie A, adding to this a victory in the Italian Cup. But in 2024, a lot of complaints have accumulated against Allegra, and the football players. As a result, Massimiliano was fired early, immediately after the triumphant final of the Coppa Italia, and the team was seriously changed in the summer. But at the same time, Thiago Motta’s wards are extremely unstable and receive a lot of criticism. Including in the Champions League. There, Staraya Signora started with victories over PSV and RB Leipzig. But then there was a defeat at home to Stuttgart and only draws with Aston Villa and Lille. However, any doubts about reaching the playoffs of the European Cup were leveled by a 2:0 victory over Manchester City. Another thing is the domestic arena, where the lion’s share of Serie A matches ended in draws, and in the Super Cup they lost immediately to Milan. For now, it is obvious that this will be a priority for the team from Turin.

Statistics of personal meetings

The clubs played in 1978 and 2005. The Belgians won once, but the remaining three matches were lost.

Forecast

Bookmakers do not particularly believe in the home team. But the motivation of the guests is doubtful, it is worth trying a bet that the Belgians will not lose (coefficient – 1.727).
