The Uefa champions league group stages are set to come to an end in a few days, and the teams would definitely want to come out with a blast. This would no doubt that what would be on the minds of the players when Juventus take on young boys in the final test of the group stages.
Juventus are absolutely flying at the moment. It has been speculated that this is Juventus best start to the season in almost 60 years. Juventus are no doubt buoyed by the presence of Ronaldo who changed clubs at the start of the season leaving European champions Real Madrid. Juventus simply love themselves right now, and they would be seen as the favorites going into the match. Young boys would acknowledge the fact that their champions league season is all but over but would love to finish the champions league in style. Juventus would be expected to ring the changes in the match as they have completed their qualification for the next round.
When it comes to the form of both teams, there is no doubt that Juventus would be considered the better team in this aspect. For one thing, Juventus are unbeaten in the league this season. Except for a draw in the league this season, Juventus has gone on a winning streak all season long. However, the story is a bit different in the champions league where Juventus suffered a shock loss in the champions league at home to Manchester United. They would no doubt be looking to avoid that sort of outcome here even if they have qualified. Young boys, on the other hand, would be painfully aware of the fact their form has not been as exciting as that of Juventus. Few wins in the last six games have left them wary of this Juventus side who would be out to continue their impressive start to the season. They would know that they would have to give their best for their fans who would no doubt be looking to make an impact in proceedings through their support.
Line-Ups
When it comes to the lineups, you would be no doubt be expecting to see Juventus make some changes as was earlier mentioned. This is to give their more senior players a chance to take a breather ahead of other challenges which would be sure to meet the team soon. You can expect the likes of Dybala and Ronaldo to take a seat back in this game although it is still interesting to see how Ronaldo would react to that understanding that his play in the champions league has not yet gone according to plan. You would most likely be seeing a lot of rotation from their manager though going into this game. Young boys, on the other hand, would no doubt be looking to use their best squad to avoid a sound thrashing from the Italian champions.
It promises to be a fascinating fixture for everyone involved.
