Match Preview
Over the weekend, Juventus were beaten 1-0 by Roma in Serie A. This defeat put Juventus in a difficult position in the race for a place in the European cup, which was already challenging after the Italian Football Federation punished them 15 points.
Juventus are currently in 5th place, 12 points behind Roma who are in 4th place. Juventus are also 7 points behind Atalanta in the race for a place in the European Cup. With only 13 rounds remaining in the season, Juve’s chances of making a surprise comeback in the domestic league are slim, especially considering their inconsistent form.
However, Juventus still has a chance to secure a European spot through the Italian Super cup competition. To earn a place in the Italian Super Cup, they must win the Coppa Italia. To get a chance to compete in the Champions League, Juve need to win the Europa League.
In the play-offs, Juventus faced more difficulties than expected. They dominated the first leg against Nantes but ended in a 1-1 draw. However, the second leg went smoothly because Nicolas Pallois received a red card in the 17th minute. In the end, Juventus won 3-0 away thanks to a hat-trick from Angel Di Maria.
Despite their early exit from the Champions League, Juventus have shown they are one of Europe’s top giants. They continued their impressive 7-match winning streak in Serie A without conceding a single goal. Even after losing to Roma, Juve are still competitive on all fronts in the latter stages of the season.
Thus, Juventus can be more confident in pursuing the Europa League title. In fact, Juventus is the second most successful team in the competition with 3 titles, behind only Sevilla. Ahead of the match against Freiburg, Juventus have lost only one of the last 16 Europa League matches.
Juventus have also received positive news up front, with Federico Chiesa and Paul Pogba both featuring on the bench against Roma last weekend. Both players are set to start against Freiburg, providing a significant boost to the Turin-based outfit.
Their opponents in this match were not used to the glitter of the continental stage. This is the first time Freiburg has faced Juventus in history. The match at the Allianz Stadium also marked the first time Freiburg met Italian representatives.
Freiburg are one of only three teams to go unbeaten in the Europa League group stage. The German side have won two and drawn four matches in the competition, making them formidable opponents for Juventus.
