Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:
Lokomotiv Moscow are at 19/4, a draw is at 3/1, and Juventus are at 3/5.
Group C so far sees two sides very much in control: Atletico and Juventus. They each have seven points, and both can move on after this round of matches should results go their way. For Juventus, it’s very simple. Since they are facing Lokomotiv, who have three points, a win for them will see them move on. As for Atletico, it’s a little more complicated. They need a win and also need Lokomotiv to lose. Should that happen, Lokomotiv would be out. Bayer have no points, so they would need quite the remarkable turnaround to move on. It’s doable, but very unlikely.
Lokomotiv come into this match in a bit of a lull in the Russian league. Through 15 matches, they are three points off the top. However, they have dropped four points in their last two domestic matches, which has seen them cede the potential of having top spot. With them being fully invested there, it’s hard to go all out here. With that said, they know they really need a win here. At home so far this season, they have four wins, three losses, and a draw.
Juventus, meanwhile, continue to stay atop the Serie A table, and they are doing like workmanlike champions as well. They haven’t had it easy, but they are unbeaten so far, as they are in all comps. Still yet, they have Inter Milan right on their heels, so they will have to keep their sights on them a while longer. While they have not lost yet, it’s interesting to note that all three of their draws have come away from home. That means they could be forced to wait to qualify here.
Betfair have Ronaldo scoring anytime at 1.72.
Ladbrokes have no for both sides scoring at 20/23.
It will not be an easy matter, but Juventus have the players to unlock a stubborn Lokomotiv team here. Ronaldo loves to feast upon Russian teams, and Dybala is in good form, giving them a platform to win it.
Yuri Semin will be missing defender Boris Rotenberg, veteran winger Jefferson Farfan, and forward Luka Djordjevic for this crunch clash due to injury woes.
Having scored a goal in Turin in the reverse fixture, you have to think Aleksey Miranchuk will back himself here. The Russian has had a good season in his domestic division as well, scoring four times and assisting twice so far. He’ll need some of that creativity here to help them pull off an upset. He assisted Eder at the weekend, and they will hope the Portuguese man, a Euro winner, will be able to do similar here with another big goal. He’s got four in the Russian PL, but can he grab a surprise winner here?
Lokomotiv have a draw, two losses, and two wins in their last five matches:
1-1 draw at Ufa
0-3 home loss vs Spartak Moscow
2-1 loss at Juventus (UCL)
0-2 win at Akhmat Grozny
2-1 home win vs Arsenal Tula
Maurizio Sarri is without goalkeeper Mattia Perin, center back Giorgio Chiellini, and winger Marko Pjaca due to injuries at present.
Cristiano Ronaldo has typically roasted Russian sides in the past, so it was a bit of a surprise to see that it wasn’t him being the hero in Turin two weeks back. That will give him added motivation here to get back on the score sheet and take some of the headlines for himself. Paulo Dybala was the man that took them off of him, scoring twice in the span of three minutes to help give his side a win that spared some of their blushes at home against the Russians.
Juventus have four wins and a draw in their last five matches:
0-1 win at Torino
2-1 home win vs Genoa
1-1 draw at Lecce
2-1 home win vs Lokomotiv Moscow (UCL)
2-1 home win vs Bologna
