Potential MVP – Dusan Vlahovic
Dusan Vlahovic is having his best season in a Juventus shirt after two indifferent campaigns following his move from Fiorentina in 2021. The Serbian centre forward was tipped for big things when he made the move and his phenomenal potential is now being realised in Turin.
Vlahovic has scored 15 goals this season and provided a further four assists. He is currently six goals shy of matching his previous best of 21 for Fiorentina and with a minimum of ten games of the season to go, he will fancy his chances of reaching that target.
Key trend

With this tie being played over two legs, both teams will have a chance to play in front of their home supporters so Juventus will be looking to fill their boots before the return leg in Rome. Juventus to win with a -1 handicap is priced at 11/5 (3.20).
