Final for group victory in group G of the Champions League: FC Barcelona will host Juventus for the final top game on Tuesday evening, the Italians can only overtake the Catalans and grab first place in the group with one win.
This win must also be a two-goal difference and be higher than 2-0. Because: Currently, Barcelona not only has three points ahead in the table but so far in a direct comparison thanks to the 2-0 win in the first leg in Turin they are clearly ahead.
In the event of a tie in the group, the direct comparison first decides, then the goal difference. This also speaks clearly for Barcelona (+14 goals, Juve: +7), which is why Juve needs a 3-1, 3-0 or a similarly high win with at least two goals difference to knock the Catalans off the throne.
A draw or even a narrow defeat is enough for them to be the first to end Group G. Let’s look at Barcelona vs Juventus on the betting odds of the best bookmakers, we find that these are pretty lucrative in both directions.
Even Barça – traditionally the clear favourite at home at Camp Nou – had a home win in the duel Barcelona vs. Juventus odds of 2.13 on average.
Barcelona – Statistics & current form
FC Barcelona has been presenting itself from two sides for weeks. In the Champions League, the Catalans show their beautiful face: Here they have won all of their five games so far, conceding only two goals and 16 scored.
Most recently, Ronald Koeman’s team spared some of the regulars both in Kyiv (4: 0) and in Budapest (3: 0) and still won easily and easily.
The Barcelona of two faces
Only seven times has it happened that a team has managed to win all six group games in the Champions League – Barça had already achieved this once before, in the 2003/04 season. By beating Juventus on Tuesday they would be able to repeat this feat. If you believe in it, you will find Barcelona vs. Juventus on the tip win Barcelona’s lucrative notations before.
While things are going like clockwork in the CL, curiously things look completely different in the league. Barça has massive problems here, even stringing two wins together. At the weekend they failed again in this endeavour, surprisingly lost to promoted Cadiz after an indisputable performance with 1: 2.
Dembélé injured again in the thigh
Barça only ranked a disappointing ninth place in the league, two wins from the last eight games are far too few for the demands of the successful Catalans. To make matters worse, Ousmane Dembélé has now also injured himself in Cadiz and will be out for a few weeks due to another muscle injury.
Since shooting star Ansu Fati is also absent with a meniscus tear until spring, coach Ronald Koeman currently has no fit winger available. At least in defence, Koeman can again plan more with two central defenders, Samuel Umtiti and Ronald Araujo are available again for the Dutchman. The latter should be in the starting line-up against Juve.
The probable lineup of Barcelona:
Ter Stegen – Dest, Araujo, Lenglet, Alba – Pjanic, De Jong, Messi, Coutinho, Pedri – Griezmann

Juventus – Statistics & current form
Things are not going as badly for Juventus in the league as for FC Barcelona, but the Italian record champions cannot be satisfied with the results in Serie A so far. Juve is still unbeaten in Italy, but coach Andrea Pirlo’s team draws too often.
There have already been five draws in ten games, as many as in the entire previous season on 38 match days. Due to the many points shared against the small teams Benevento, Hellas Verona and Crotone (each 1: 1) Juve is currently six points behind AC Milan and only ranks fourth.
Derby win as motivation before duelling with Barça
After all, the dress rehearsal before the CL crash against Barça at the weekend was successful, because here Juve won the Turin derby against Torino FC 2-1 thanks to a late goal from Leonardo Bonucci.
The same result at Camp Nou would not be enough to climb to the top of the table on the last day of the game. There have to be three goals, including a win with at least two goals apart. An extremely difficult undertaking, after all, Barcelona have been unbeaten in 38 home games in the Champions League. The last home bankruptcy at Camp Nou in the premier class dates from 2013.
Juve needs a handicap win
Anyone who now believes that the old lady will succeed in teaching the Catalans back home bankruptcy will find Barcelona vs. Juventus on the tip away win lucrative odds of 3.35 on average.
And if the Italians even believe the handicap win they need to win the group, odds of up to 7.00 at the top are recommended for the last game in Group G between Barcelona and Juventus.

Szczesny – Cuadrado, De Ligt, Bonucci, Alex Sandro – Chiesa, Rabiot, Betancur, Kulusevski – Ronaldo, Dybala
