Chelsea FC - Juventus FC ai prediction 23.11.2021 Champions League
Betting Tip for matchday 5 of the 2021/2022 Champions League between Chelsea FC and Juventus FC.
There will be fireworks in UCL Group H when the top two go head to head at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea hosts unbeaten leaders Juventus with the leadership of the group at stake.
Juventus won their other matchup in Turin and have already qualified for the round of 16. Chelsea meantime needs a point here to guarantee their place but they will surely be baying for the Old Lady’s blood as they seek their pound of flesh.
Our preview will focus on Konfambet and Mr Play’s markets and prices for our betting tips today.
CHELSEA
A comfortable 3-0 triumph over Leicester at the weekend ensured in-form Chelsea maintain their lead at the summit of the Premier League. They will now train their guns on Juventus, as they continue their defence of the Champions League trophy they hoisted last May.
A 1-0 to Juventus when the two sides met in Turin at the end of September has them sitting in second place three points behind the Italian giants. They can however make the finish interesting here should they return the favour.
The Blues will be confident of getting a result here as they have been in scorching form even with the absence of their talisman Romelu Lukaku who remains a doubt for this game.
JUVENTUS
Juventus have struggled in the domestic league but they have been in tremendous form in this competition with a 100% record having won all four of the group games thus far, including a solid 1-0 win over their opponents in the reverse fixture.
Having attained the maximum points, they are already assured of a place in the knockout phase but they still will be looking to guarantee a top spot in the group and a point here would do just that.
An inconsistent season has plagued Maxi Allegri’s return to the club in the summer but back-to-back wins over Fiorentina and Lazio, either side of the international break has him quietly confident of turning the corner.

CHELSEA VS JUVENTUS MATCH FORECAST AND BETTING PREDICTIONS
Both of these teams were expected to dominate Group H and that is precisely what they have done, with neither having yet dropped a point against Zenit St Petersburg and Malmo. Whilst qualification to the next round is virtually a given here, there is the little matter of the group leadership that is still on the line. We feel both teams will give their all here. This could turn out to be an ultra-physical encounter and we feel there could be a few bookings here. As such we are going for Over 3.5 Bookings @ 1.60 with Konfambet Welcome Bonus for our first tip for this game.
Chelsea will be the aggressor here as they try to not only get their revenge but also to push the race for the top spot to the final matchday. The Blues have been in great form, powered by their terrific defence which has not allowed more than a goal in all their 2021/22 games across all competitions. We feel they have the edge here and we are backing them on the double chance with Under 3.5 goals to be scored @ 1.50 with Mr Play First Deposit Bonus as our last call.
