RB Leipzig vs Juventus Prediction 02 Oct 2024

⚽ Champions League - League phase - Round 2 Preview

📅 02 Oct 2024

⏰ 20:00 GMT +1

🏟 Red Bull Arena (Leipzig)

RB Leipzig ended a three-game winless streak in style with a 4-0 win over Augsburg, which should boost their confidence as they face Juventus on matchday two. However, Leipzig's history against Italian teams at home in Europe isn't promising, as they’ve yet to win (D1, L1). Additionally, they’ve lost two of their last four European home matches, as many as in the previous ten. Despite this, Marco Rose's team is unbeaten in their last nine competitive home games (W6, D3), and they haven't conceded at Red Bull Arena this season (W2, D1). With this defensive resilience, Leipzig will aim to get their Champions League campaign back on track.

Juventus comes into this match fresh off a 3-0 victory over Genoa, which snapped a frustrating run of three consecutive goalless draws in Serie A. So far, Juventus has been either in top form or struggling, having scored exactly three goals in all four of their wins this season but failing to score in their other three matches. They started their UCL campaign strongly with a 3-1 win over PSV, yet their away form in this competition is concerning, with no wins in their last five UCL away games (D1, L4). However, their strong defensive record, conceding just once in seven matches this season, could give them hope of breaking their away struggles in Leipzig.
