On Wednesday 16 October 2024 in Biella, Juventus will host Bayern Munich in one of the most anticipated matches of the second round of the UEFA Women’s Champions League group stage. Here’s a prediction from the experts at Sportsmacro.
Juventus
The “Zebras” have enjoyed a flawless start to their domestic campaign, comfortably sitting at the top of Serie A after six rounds. Juventus has amassed a perfect 18 points from those six matches, demonstrating their dominance in Italy.
In their latest league match, Juventus claimed a 2-1 home victory over Roma. During the final round of Champions League qualification, they faced a formidable opponent in PSG, winning both legs—3-1 at home and 2-1 away. In their opening group-stage match, the Turin club managed a narrow 1-0 win against Vålerenga away from home.
Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich arrives at this fixture following a surprising 0-2 away defeat to Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, a setback given their strong form leading up to that match. Before this loss, Bayern had won their previous five games, often with commanding scorelines.
