Juventus vs Sporting CP prediction: EUROPE: Champions League – League phase betting tips on match 2025-11-03 20:00.
[p]New Juventus boss Luciano Spalletti will look to continue his winning start when they take on a Sporting CP side they already trail by four points in the UEFA Champions League (UCL).[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]A busy week at Juventus has ultimately proved a successful one, as they’ve won back-to-back matches since parting with Igor Tudor, beating Cremonese 2-1 on Saturday in Spalletti’s first game in charge. He’s now tasked with ending the Bianconeri’s current four-game winless run in the UCL (D2, L2) – their longest in the competition since 2013 – with their return of two points from three games this season leaving them outside the play-off places pre-round. Spalletti will be third man to take charge in Juve’s last three home games, but form at the Allianz Stadium, where they’re unbeaten in ten games across all competitions (W7, D3), has remained stable.[/p]
[p]An in-form Sporting side certainly present a big challenge on that front, as they’ve won five successive games and are well placed both domestically and in Europe. They’ve made a strong start to this UCL campaign (W2, L1), although that defeat did come on Italian soil on matchday two against Napoli (2-1). That was Sporting’s only away loss since February, but that also came in the UCL, with the Lions winning just one of their last 24 road matches in this competition against teams from Europe’s top-five leagues (D4, L19).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Juventus are unbeaten in all four previous H2Hs (W2, D2), while Sporting are also winless in all 19 historical European away matches against Italian sides (D5, L14).[/p]
