Taking to the Champions League like a duck to water, Juve’s Dusan Vlahovic needed no more than 32 seconds of European action to open his account on the continental stage – and some finish it was too – but an injury-hit Bianconeri could not hold on. Still rank outsiders when it comes to reclaiming their domestic crown, Juventus suffered last-16 exits in the 2019-20 and 2020-21 editions of the Champions League and have not progressed further than the quarter-finals since falling at the last hurdle to Real Madrid in 2017.
The opportunity to make the last eight is theirs for the taking. The abolition of the away goals rule does mean that both sides enter the contest on a level playing field, but Juve has not suffered defeat at home yet in 2022 and have only conceded four goals in their last 10 at the Allianz Stadium, which has become something of a European fortress for them in months gone by.

The Yellow Submarine have been hit-and-miss since playing out that 1-1 with the Bianconeri, thrashing Espanyol 5-1, going down 1-0 to Osasuna, and scraping past Celta Vigo in Saturday’s fixture courtesy of another second-half Parejo effort. Only twice before have Villarreal managed to make it as far as the quarter-finals in the Champions League – most recently doing so in 2008-09 before being swiftly dispatched by Emery’s old club Arsenal – and an extensive injury list does not bode well for the Yellow Submarine here.
Villarreal does know what it takes to get the better of Italian sides on their own turf – coming up trumps in a 3-2 thriller with Atalanta BC back in December – but the 2005-06 semi-finalists can only boast one clean sheet from their last 15 away Champions League matches ahead of a daunting trip to Turin.

With a much more established feel about the Juve defense as Allegri prepares to welcome several big names back to the fold, the stage is set for Bianconeri’s European experience to come to the fore.
It is now Villarreal’s turn to work around a wealth of absentees, and with Juve boasting a well-rested Vlahovic and proving an extremely tough nut to crack on home soil, we can only back Allegri’s men to finish the job and progress to the last eight. مراهنات كرة القدم اليوم Juventus have been impressive under Allegri so far but does have a few issues to address in the coming weeks. العاب فلوس حقيقية The Bianconeri have a depleted squad at the moment and will need to work hard in this fixture.
Juventus 2-0 Villarreal, predicted by us.
