Maccabi Haifa-Juventus is a match valid for the fourth day of the Champions League: live TV, streaming, likely formations, predictions
MACCABI HAIFA – JUVENTUS | Tuesday 6.45pm
MACCABI HAIFA – JUVENTUS
The moment for Juventus has turned black again after two wins in a row. The defeat against AC Milan, in the championship, has reawakened the ghosts of a team that is unable, after the first slip-up, to get back on track. This explains Allegri’s team’s ranking, not only in the league, but also in the Champions League. In order to keep the qualification discourse open, the Piedmontese team has only one result at its disposal, victory. Hoping also that Psg win against Benfica in order to play everything in the match in Portugal. At another time we would surely have spoken of a Juventus team ready to take the three points, but given the Bianconeri’s away performance – they have not won away from home for seven matches – there could also be a surprise. Yes, obviously, also because of the importance of the match, it seems really difficult for Juve to lose points, especially because up front they will find Di Maria again, the one who made the difference a week ago in Turin.
Allegri will obviously rely on Fideo, who has played these matches and knows how to win them. But everyone’s contribution is needed against a formation, the Israeli one, which for a few minutes at the Stadium put Juventus in difficulty, which went into meltdown after the goal taken and then closed the challenge thanks to Rabiot’s personal double. In short, if the problems had been swept under the carpet, they all came back out in the match against Milan. Now, even Allegri knows very well that his bench and season are at stake tomorrow. More the season, we would say, given the multi-million dollar contract that armours him. And in the end, the qualities, they should come out.

The Prediction
Juventus must win. They have to. And it should eventually succeed in order to keep the Champions League qualification discourse open. You cannot think of returning to Turin without the three points. It would also be a good viaticum in view of the derby against Torino next weekend.
