TOTTENHAM vs JUVENTUS BETTING PREVIEW
Tottenham have gone 17 matches unbeaten in all competitions and are in the hunt for trophies and a top four finish this season. They sit 4th in the Premier League standings, 2 points below Chelsea, and have secured their route through to an FA Cup quarter final with Swansea by beating League One strugglers Rochdale in an FA Cup replay last week. Spurs enter this match on the back of a routine 2-0 victory over Huddersfield at the weekend. Pochettino's men hold a slender advantage after the first leg having battled from 2-0 down to draw 2-2. They are unbeaten in the Champions League this season, winning five of their seven matches while drawing two.
Tottenham will be without Toby Alderweireld due to a hamstring injury but Jan Vertonghen is fully fit. Serge Aurier is suspended for Spurs, so Kieran Trippier is likely to deputise at right-back. In midfield, Mousa Dembelè and Eric Diet should feature from the off, with Harry Winks and Victor Wanyam viable alternatives After his brace last time out, Heung-min Son is expected to retain his place on the right, though Erik Lamela and Lucas Moura are pushing for a start. The South Korean should join Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen in the offensive midfield, behind the lone striker Harry Kane.
Juventus took a huge step towards the Serie A title over the weekend. The Bianconeri beat 1-0 Lazio at the Olimpico, courtesy of a last-gasp goal scored by Paulo Dybala, and profited from Napoli's defeat at the hands of Roma. Now they are just one point shy of the league leaders, with one game in hand. They have not lost a competitive match since a 3-2 loss to Sampdoria back in November and have kept 19 clean sheets in the last 21 games in all competitions. Furthermore, the Bianconeri have scored at least once in their last 15 competitive matches, and they have won 14 of those games
Gonzalo Higuain is a doubt for the game while Paulo Dybala looked 100% recovered. Dybala is expected to start as false nine, flanked by Mario Mandzukic and Douglas Costa in a 4-3-3 system. The likes of Blaise Matuidi, Miralem Pjanic and Sami Khedira will start in the middle of the park. Giorgio Chiellini and Mehdi Benatia will play at centre back, with Alex Sandro and Stephan Lichtsteiner as full backs, and legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon between the posts. Juan Cuadrado, Fernando Bernadeschi and Mattia De Sciglio are all out.
