In one of the matches of the Champions League group stage, the players of Malmo and Juventus will come face to face. Which of the rivals will get the victory in this confrontation? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this meeting.
"Malmo"
The Swedish champion has come a long way to the group stage of the Champions League. The team has passed four stages of qualification. In the first round, the Swedish champion was able to win over Riga (2: 1 on the sum of two meetings), after which he defeated the Finnish club HIK. In the third round, Malmo was stronger than the Scottish Rangers, defeating their opponent 2-1. The Swedes managed to surprise in the 2-match confrontation with Ludogorets ,where the Scandinavians were again stronger.
Juventus
Juventus players failed to win the Italian championship for the first time in many years, giving the Scudetto to Inter Milan. The Torino team finished the last championship on the fourth line, risking to remain without the LCH until the last round, but the victory of Juve in the last meeting with Bologna prevented a sensation from taking place. After the end of the season, Allegri came back to the old signora as head coach, who replaced Antonio Conte, and before the transfer window closed, Ronaldo moved to Manchester United. This provoked the team's poor results at the start of the season. In the course of three games, Juve got only one point, losing to Napoli and Empoli, as well as drawing with Udinese.
Injuries and disqualifications:
- Injuries:
- Dahlin (leg), Knudsen (knee), Lewicki (knee), Moisander (knee), Peña (calf injury), Toivonen (knee) – all Malmo. Artur (muscle injury), Bernardeschi (coach's decision), Caio (muscle injury), Cuadrado (stomach upset), Chiesa (muscle injury), Nicolussi (knee) - all Juventus .
Statistics and figures:

- Malmo has a 3-match winless streak;

Forecast
I will not invent anything and they will simply bet in favor of the Turin team. I think Juventus is a clear favorite of this game. Our bet will be in favor of the "old signora", albeit for a modest coefficient.
