Juventus and Atletico Madrid meet in the 8th finals of the UEFA Champions League final. The confrontation will be played on Tuesday at 20:00 on Allianz Stadium.
In the tour of the double, the Madrid team managed to score 2-0 on their own field through the goals scored by Jose Maria Gimenez (78 ‘) and Diego Godin (83’). Atletico is unbeaten in direct confrontations with Juventus, the previous games being played in 2014 in the group stage when Simeone’s band managed to score 1-0 on their own, while the Italian match ended without a goal scored by both part.
The defeat in Madrid was the only one suffered by Massimiliano Allegri’s band in the last seven games played in all competitions, when they won five victories. In the last round in Serie A, “The Lady of the Lady” was impelled without emotion on the field in front of Udinese, with the score of 4-1, match Cristiano Ronaldo, Mario Mandzukic and Giorgio Chiellini were not introduced to the field.
Juan Cuadrado and Sami Khedira are the only absences of Massimiliano Allegri for the return with Atletico.
The Iberian formation is at this confrontation after a series of five consecutive victories in all competitions. The last success came in the championship, on the field, 1-0 in front of the Leganes, the only goal of the game being scored by Saul (50 ‘). Diego Simeone’s students suffered only one defeat in the last 11 away games, 5 of which were matched.
Diego Costa and Lucas Hernandez will not be on the pitch in this confrontation, while Luis Felipe is uncertain.
Probable teams:
Juventus: Szczesny – Cancelo, Bonucci, Chiellini, Sandro – Betancur, Pjanic, Matuidi – Bernardeschi, Ronaldo, Mandzukic;
Atletico Madrid: Oblak – Arias, Godin, Gimenez, Juanfran – Saul, Rodri, Koke, Lemar – Morata, Griezmann;
In its characteristic way, Simeone’s band will seek to fragment how much the game can play, given that this duel starts from the 0-2 score in general. It is expected that the guests will commit the most fouls in this game and at least two in addition to their opponent seems to be a worthy bet.
