Juventus once again under Massimiliano Allegri had an unsuccessful start to the season. In Serie A, the old lady so far occupies only the eighth line in the table, having 10 points in the table. There is a gap of four points from the leader of Napoli, but at the same time, the handicap may well become more significant in the near future. In recent meetings Juve has not shown football of the best quality. In the home match with Salernitana, which was played last Sunday, Juventus went on a break with the score 0:2 in favor of the opponent. In the second half of the meeting, they managed to bounce back and the Turin team could even win, but the judges stole three points. In the Champions League, Juve started with a defeat in Paris. PSG was much more mobile, fresher, stronger, more creative and the 2:1 score in favor of the French champion did not objectively reflect the balance of power on the field.
Benfica are having a very solid start to the season. Under the leadership of Roger Schmidt, the Eagles successfully qualified for the Champions League, managing to leave Midtjylland and Dynamo Kyiv out of the tournament. In the championship of Portugal, Benfica is still without losses, having six wins in six matches and the first line in the table. However, the second Braga is only two points behind. In the Champions League the Eagles found themselves in the company of PSG, Juventus and Maccabi Haifa. Despite two serious competitors, there are certainly plans to exit the group. In the home match against Maccabi, Benfica shattered the saturated defense of the opponent for quite a long time, but in the end they found a weak spot and scored two goals, while managing to keep their gates shut.
