The league picture

Juventus lead the 36-team standings on goal difference alone, their opening victory separating them from Crystal Palace, Sparta Prague, Besiktas and Union St.-Gilloise only by the margins. A win would take them to six points from two matches; a draw would leave them on four. Celta sit 26th with zero points from one played, and a win here would move them to three points from two.

The market implies this as the likeliest outcome: Juventus are given a 43.3 per cent chance of taking all three points, against 26.9 per cent for a Celta victory and 29.8 per cent for a draw.

Recent form

Celta's last five recent matches produced one win, three draws and one defeat. That sole victory came 5-0 against RAC, but their most recent outing ended 0-0 against ELC. Juventus have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five, the most recent a 1-1 draw with CAG. Before that they lost 0-1 to CRE, though earlier in the sequence they recorded a 5-0 win over NEC and a 2-0 win over ATA.

Lineups have not yet been announced.
