Pick: Under 2.5
Odds: 1.85
Stake: 8/10
Juventus has the right to qualify for the next stage of the tournament, but the psychological advantage is undoubtedly on the side of Tottenham, as Mauricio Pochettino's wards were able to level the score in the first match on the road, yielding two goals in the course of the meeting. On all assumptions, Tottenham can also qualify for the quarter-finals, but the club does not have enough experience at such a high level, so Juventus will be the favorite. Juventus conducted a full restructuring of the personnel and is ready for the unexpected, so he must play an additional drawn midfielder in order to secure his goal from the counterattack.
Tottenham slightly raised their professional level and now in all respects is ahead of a number of leading clubs in the Premier League. The fact is that Pochettino's wards were able to find a middle ground between their own defense and the attack and now miss much less. The current champion of Chelsea is almost out of the race for second place in the table of the domestic championship, so among the main competitors of Spurs were only the clubs of Manchester United and Liverpool. By the way, Tottenham won in the home match with the mankunians Tottenham won in his field with a score of 2: 0 and thereby took revenge for the defeat in the first round (0: 1). It is noteworthy that Liver and Manchester are also participating in the Champions League and Chelsea are not behind them yet, but the team of Antonio Contte has really dark prospects, because in their opponents there are football players from Barcelona, with whom the aristocrats rolled a home draw 1: 1. In the two last rounds of the Premier League, Tottenham scored two very important victories over Crystal Palace and Huddersfield (1: 0 and 2: 0 respectively), so at the moment the metropolitan team is ahead of Chelsea by five points and is focused on the upcoming meeting with Turin Juventus. In the Cup of England Tottenham without problems passed the club Rochdale, although he won only in the replay (2: 2 and 6: 1) and went to the quarterfinals at Swansea. In the plans of Pochettino there is a victory in this tournament, although no one denies that Tottenham is able to pass and the champion of Italy.
In the first match in Turin, the British quickly collapsed, allowed striker Juventus Gonzalo Higuain twice hit his goal in the first ten minutes of the first half. Further Juventus tried to increase his advantage, but Tottenham transferred the action to the center of the field, whereby the club began to manage small forays to the gates of Buffon. At the end of the first half of the meeting striker Spurs and the England team, Harry Kane, thanks to his own skill left the defenders and goalkeeper of the Italian club and soaked the score. Further in the second half, Juve did not notice anything special, as the team invested all their strength in the first ten minutes. However, Tottenham in one of the attacks was entitled to a free kick in 25 meters from the gate Juventus and the young opornik Christian Eriksen with a precise blow to the corner restored the balance in the account. Juventus could score the third, but the same Higuain struck the crossbar from the penalty spot, giving Tottenham the advantage of goals scored in a foreign field.
As for the visiting team, Juventus is trying to win the domestic championship for the seventh time in a row, but so far the points are inferior to the opponents from Napoli. Everything can change already in the upcoming tour of the domestic championship, because Juventus has one match in reserve (the transfer of a duel with Atalanta due to snowfall), and in the last game day on the road beat the Roman Lazio with a score of 1: 0. Now the players of Max Allegri fall behind the Neapolitans by one point due to the home defeat of Maurizio Sarri's wards from Roma with a score of 2: 4. In fact - the championship of Juventus in Italy is only a matter of time, because the club misses the least in the championship, and scores the most.
