Champions League Betting Preview: Juventus vs Benfica

Italian Serie A side Juventus host Portuguese Primeira Liga club Benfica at Allianz Stadium, with kick-off set for 16:00 on Wednesday 21 January.

If you agree with our verdict that Juventus can defeat José Mourinho's Benfica, then there’s the chance to get betting odds of -127 that this happens. We think that this price sticks out on the Full-Time Result market.

In their last Champions League matches, Juve claimed a 2-0 win at home to Cypriot First Division side Pafos FC, while Benfica triumphed 2-0 when hosting Napoli.
