It’s part a slump in form that has seen them go six games across all competitions without a win, but after a memorable victory over Bayern Munich already this year, they’ll be hoping to slay another European giant at home to get themselves back on track.
As for Juventus, it’s been a mixed bag for Thiago Motta so far this season since taking charge in the summer, as his unbeaten side sit in a decent position in Serie A, but with seven draws in their opening 13 games, it’s clear where their frustrations lie.
With two wins, a draw and a loss so far in the Champions League, they’ll be looking to secure a big boost in this one for their chances of qualifying for the knockout stage.

Prediction
Score draw. Villa have looked vulnerable defensively in recent weeks and so it’s hard to back them to keep a clean sheet in this one despite their impressive record in Europe so far.
However, they should cause Juventus problems if they start well and get the crowd behind them to create a top atmosphere, but with the visitors enjoying a draw so far this season, they may well be happy to pick up a point in this one.
