In their previous match, Thiago Motta’s Juventus played out a goalless draw on the road against Club Brugge (0:0). While the Turin side extended their unbeaten run in the Champions League to four games, they managed just one victory during this stretch. On a positive note, their defense has been outstanding, recording three consecutive clean sheets in the competition.
Currently sitting 17th in the standings with 12 points, Juventus has already secured a playoff spot but still harbors hopes of breaking into the top 8. To achieve this, they must win their final match and hope for favorable results elsewhere. Juventus has a solid home record, winning 9 of their last 13 Champions League games in regular time.
Meanwhile, Bruno Lage’s Benfica experienced a crushing 4:5 loss to Barcelona in their last outing, despite holding a two-goal lead at one point. The Catalans staged a dramatic late comeback, leaving the Portuguese side stunned.
This defeat extended Benfica’s inconsistent form in the Champions League. Over their last five matches, they’ve recorded just one win, one draw, and three losses. Currently in 21st place with 10 points, Benfica must secure a win against Juventus to guarantee their place in the playoffs.
