Juventus vs Maccabi Haifa Predictions

• Maccabi Haifa lost their last two away games by multi-goal margins and without reply.
• Juventus scored 2+ goals in three of their last four home games.
• Juventus have never lost their first three games of a UCL group stage.

It’s about time for a Juventus bounce back

For the first time in the club’s history, Juventus have lost their opening two group games in a Champions League campaign. Desperate for a resurgent performance, the visit of Israeli outfit Maccabi Haifa could prove to be just what the doctor ordered for the Italian giants.

Encouragingly, Juventus have scored at least twice in three of their last four home games, most recently posting a dominant 3-0 win over Bologna in what was their second home clean sheet across their last four games here.

These sides shared a group back in 2009/10, and Juventus won both games on that occasion. While that was over a decade ago, they head into this as strong favourites to make it three for three since that season.

A long way home for Maccabi Haifa

Coming into this having conceded five straight away goals without reply, Maccabi Haifa look right up against it. Each of their last two trips came against Hapoel Jerusalem (3-0 L) and Benfica (2-0 L), so the challenge posed here looks to be a much greater one on paper.

We’re going for a convincing -1 handicap-busting Juventus win, with a smaller stakes selection going the way of a 3-0 correct score.
