Dortmund vs Juventus Prediction and Football Tips
Champions League football tips – Dortmund vs Juventus prediction
Dortmund will have to make do without two recognised right-backs, in the injured Kevin Großkreutz and Lukasz Piszczek. This could mean a place in the team for either Oliver Kirch or Sokratis. The only other doubt is Nuri Sahin, with Sven Bender likely to start the game if the Turkish midfielder does not make it.
This match will come to soon for Andrea Pirlo, therefore, Roberto Pereyra will continue to deputise in midfield having played well in the first leg. Paul Pogba, who was suspended for the weekend match in Serie A, will return to the midfield well rested and partner Arturo Vidal in the quest for goals from the central areas.

Despite getting a crucial away goal in Turin, Dortmund still come in to this game trailing 2-1 from the first leg and need to turn things around in-front of their passionate home support. Dortmund have only lost 1 of their previous 6 Champions League home matches, conceding 5 goals in the process. Wins at Signal-Iduna-Park over the likes of Arsenal, Napoli and Real Madrid recently, show that Dortmund have what it takes to defeat big names at home.
Juventus come in to the match with the Serie A title all but sewn up. This leaves the Champions League as the only, serious competition left for Massimiliano Allegri’s team. Despite general form being good, away results in Champions League competition have left something to be desired. Just 1 win in their last 7 away Champions League matches, shows that Juventus do not travel well. In total, 5 of those games have ended in defeat, 4 of which by a score that would knock them out of this years tournament.
