In the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League, Italian giants Juventus will take on Portuguese league winners Sporting Lisbon at the Allianz Stadium in Turin on Tuesday night.
The Old Lady have had a rough patch in their last five weeks, having failed to get a win and losing three games in a row. They lost their last Champions League clash 1-0 to Real Madrid. However, they have gone on to win back-to-back games, including a 2-1 win over Udinese.
On the other hand, the Lions arrive in Turin riding a wave of positive results, having secured five wins in a row. They claimed a 2-1 win over Olympique Marseille in their last European outing and have gone on to win three more games, with the most recent being a 2-0 victory over Alverca.

Correct score prediction: Juventus 1-1 Sporting
Considering Juventus's current form, we expect a very tight encounter and we are predicting the game to end in a 1-1 draw. Despite the home team's struggle, we expect them to find a way back and avoid another defeat. The Lions have also shown how good and strong they are this season, but they will face a difficult task getting a win against the Old Lady.
In previous meetings, both teams have played a 1-1 scoreline twice. This fixture has often ended in a draw, a pattern we expect to see repeated as the two sides cancel each other out in this clash.

- Draw: 5/2 (3.50) – 28.6%
