Juventus are meeting sports betting experts’ expectations and sit atop of the Serie A table. They have a 7-point advantage over Roma. What’s more, they are on the 6-match winning streak. In the Champions League the Old Lady have easily got past Sevilla, Lyon and Dinamo Zagreb.

Before choosing a bet you should take into account the fact that the Dragons have never defeated Juventus in their three previous attempts. In addition, Juve have won 7 of their last 11 encounters with the Portugese teams. The betting experts mention that Porto have no selection concerns while Allegri will miss Chiellini and Barzagli. In spite of having 7 wins in the Primeira Liga in a row, it will be very difficult for the Dragons to beat the Old Lady.

The bookmakers are convinced that Juventus will get past this stage: 1,25 against 4,15. As for the first leg, Juve are also considered to be a favorite: Porto – 3,75, Draw – 3,20, Juventus – 2,25. It is recommended to bet on the “Total Goals by Away Team over 1” (1,72). Besides, there is a good bet “Juventus or Draw and Total Goals under 3,5” (1,61).
