Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Both sides have had a good start to the campaign. Villa in their first UEFA Champions League appearance are in good form and are placed inside the automatic places to go through. Juventus on the other hand are in the playoff places so will be desperate to take back all three points to ensure that they don’t have to qualify for the Round of 16.

Aston Villa Preview

Predicted Line-Up: Emiliano Martínez; Ian Maatsen, Pau Torres, Diego Carlos, Ezri Konsa; John McGinn (c), Youri Tielemans, Ross Barkley, Leon Bailey; Morgan Rogers; Ollie Watkins

Aston Villa have had an amazing start to this year’s edition of the UEFA Champions League, residing in eighth place after four games. Three wins and a loss have left them with nine points, just three points away from climbing to as high as top of the table place if they can take three points in this match and results go in their favour. The Villains have been able to rely on three players for the majority of their goals. Midfielders John McGinn, Youri Tielemans and striker Jhon Durán have registered two goal contributions. Aston Villa fans know that they could be their best options in trying to take all three points this Wednesday after a tough spell domestically.

Juventus Preview

Predicted Line-Up: Michele Di Gregorio; Andrea Cambiaso, Federico Gatti, Danilo (c), Nicolò Savona; Khéphren Thuram, Manuel Locatelli; Kenan Yıldız, Weston McKennie, Francisco Conceição; Teun Koopmeiners

Juventus have had a good start to the UEFA Champions League a year after they were banned from competing in Europe. Playing four games and they sit in 11th in the standings with two wins, one loss and one draw. Those results have left them with seven points, but a win would manage to take them into the automatic Round of 16 qualification places depending on other results. The Old Lady are struggling to keep the back out of the net, the opposite of what they have managed to do in the Serie A where they have the best defence in the league. Juventus will be without their two strikers in Dušan Vlahović and Arkadiusz Milik who will miss this game to injury. Midfielder Teun Koopmeiners is expected to take the striker role this Wednesday. The unavailability if Juventus’ top two strikers could cost them in this match.
