Aston Villa vs Juventus: Preview, predictions and lineups
Publish : Wednesday, 2024-11-27 ( Europe/London )
Aston Villa take on Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday. Preview includes team news, predicted lineups, how to watch on TV and live stream and more.
Two sides in promising positions meet in the Champions League on Wednesday when Aston Villa host Juventus in the West Midlands.
The Villans have lost a lot of form over the past month or so, failing to win any of their last six games in all competitions, but Unai Emery's side had previously won three matches in Europe to show they belong at the highest level.
Juve are still finding their feet under new boss Thiago Motta and have become difficult to beat, though a few too many games have ended in draws for La Vecchia Signora to be any higher than sixth in Serie A.

On top of that, defenders Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal are out for the long-term with cruciate ligament blows, while Nicolas Gonzalez, Vasilije Adzic and Arkadiusz Milik also aren't available.

Aston Villa vs Juventus score prediction
Villa's recent form has been little short of abysmal of late, but their spirit will be boosted by their results in Europe and they've already toppled a giant of the continent having bested Bayern Munich back in October.
Juve might have fancied their luck against Emery's outfit, but the absences of Vlahovic, Luiz and McKennie are significant and might lead to a home victory at a raucous Villa Park.
Prediction: Aston Villa 1-0 Juventus
