Juventus vs Nantes Predictions

• The Old Lady have kept eight clean sheets in 12 Serie A home games – the most in the league.
• Nantes have won just two away league games this season.
• Juventus have won all of their last three matches and have been able to keep clean sheets in each of those.

Goals have been scarce in Turin

The Old Lady are back in action on home turf and they’ll be eager to achieve a win and take an advantage over to France for the return leg. They’ve kept more clean sheets on home soil than any other side in Serie A and their solid backline will be keen to shutout Nantes here. Matches at this arena have tended to be tight affairs but Juventus tend to find a way through, with them winning to nil in eight of their 12 home league fixtures.

The visitors have struggled on the road in the French top flight as they’ve managed to emerge victorious on just two occasions this campaign. They sit in the bottom half of the table and their primary focus has to be on improving their league position, but they’ll give it their all in this tie.

The Old Lady to edge past Nantes

This should be a very close encounter, but we think Nantes will struggle to break Juventus down and in the end, the quality of the hosts will shine through. As such, we’ll side with another home win to nil.
