Juventus gave out one of the weakest starts of the championship for many decades, having managed to visit during the first round even in the relegation zone. Obviously, after such a start, Massimiliano Allegri’s team fell out of the number of contenders for the Scudetto, moreover, it was very problematic to even qualify for a place in the top four, but the “old lady” got out of this situation. At the moment, Juventus have already reached the coveted fourth line, knocking out Atalanta from there. The old lady has 45 points in their assets and so far they are only two points ahead of Atalanta, but the main competitor in the fight for a ticket to the Champions League has another match in hand. In the last round Juventus beat Verona with a score of 2:0. Dusan Vlahovic and Denis Zakaria scored their debut goals for the club.
Leicester opened the new season powerfully. A victory over Manchester City brought the FA Super Cup, after which the Foxes slowed down. Performances in the group stage of the Europa League brought an unexpected third place in the group, which will allow the team to test their strength in the new club competition from UEFA. In the Premier League Brendan Rodgers’ wards have seven wins and five peaceful outcomes after 20 rounds, which correspond to 26 points and tenth position. The last successful match the “citizens” played was on December 28, when they outplayed today’s opponent on their field. In 2022 Leicestershire had only two failures: a defeat against Tottenham (2:3) and a draw with Brighton (1:1). The Blues’ attack line looks good, which differed 34 times. The best sniper is traditionally Vardy (nine goals), who will not be able to enter the field today. In addition to him, Mendy, Evans, Fofana, Castaigne and Bertrand, who has a knee injury, will not play.
