Juventus 0-2 Benfica

Current streaks

Recent form

Juventus

Juventus have been struggling for consistency in their recent fixtures, with a mixed bag of results in their last six games. The Bianconeri have managed only one win, against AC Milan in Serie A, whilst recording three draws and two losses. Their defensive record has been relatively solid, conceding an average of one goal per game and keeping two clean sheets. However, their attacking output has been somewhat lacklustre, also averaging just one goal per game. Interestingly, two-thirds of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards tighter, low-scoring affairs. The Old Lady's current form is a cause for concern, as they've failed to secure back-to-back victories in this stretch and have ended their most recent match with a defeat against Napoli in Serie A.

Benfica

Benfica's recent form has been a rollercoaster, with their last six matches showcasing both their attacking prowess and defensive vulnerabilities. The Eagles have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly their 5-4 defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League and their 4-0 victory over Famalicao in the Primeira Liga. Despite averaging an impressive 2.67 goals per game, Benfica have conceded 10 goals in their last six matches, including three in their most recent league outing against Casa Pia. Their matches have been entertaining for neutrals, with 83% of games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in two-thirds of their fixtures. While Benfica managed a three-match unbeaten run earlier in this sequence, they have now suffered back-to-back defeats, which will be a concern for the Portuguese giants as they look to maintain their challenge in domestic and European competitions.

Recent home/away form

Juventus

Juventus have shown mixed form at home recently, with three wins, two draws, and one loss in their last six matches. The Old Lady have been particularly potent in attack, netting an impressive 13 goals at an average of 2.17 per game, including a high-scoring 4-0 victory over Cagliari in the Coppa Italia. Defensively, they've been relatively solid, conceding just six goals and keeping three clean sheets. Notably, Juventus have managed to secure victories against strong opponents like AC Milan in Serie A and Manchester City in the Champions League. The team's matches have been entertaining affairs, with 67% of games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in half of the fixtures. While there are no extended winning or losing streaks, Juventus have remained unbeaten in their last four home games across all competitions.

Benfica

Benfica's recent away form has been inconsistent, with the Eagles struggling to maintain a consistent run of positive results. Their last six away matches have yielded two wins, two draws, and two losses, indicating a lack of dominance on the road. Notably, Benfica have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last six away games, conceding in 67% of these matches. The team's goal-scoring record has been modest, averaging 1.33 goals per game, whilst their defensive record has been slightly better, conceding 1.17 goals per game. Interestingly, two-thirds of Benfica's recent away fixtures have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards tighter, lower-scoring encounters. The most eye-catching result in this run was their recent 3-1 defeat to Casa Pia, which marked their heaviest away loss in this period and could be a cause for concern for Benfica supporters.
