Sporting Lisbon v Juventus: Old Lady can triumph away from home

Juve chasing leaders on two fronts
Juventus claimed a vital three points on Saturday with a 2-0 victory over AC Milan.

Milan were expected to challenge Juve's dominance of Italian football after a major summer spending spree, but instead both Napoli and Lazio have proved to be surprise packages. Napoli are top of Serie A, three points ahead of Juventus after an unbeaten start, while Lazio are level on points with the reigning champions.

Juventus lost at home to Lazio in a recent encounter, but since that defeat they have won all four of their games. This included a 2-1 win over Sporting Lisbon in the reverse fixture, in which Juve had to come from behind after an Alex Sandro own goal.

Sporting now need to bounce back with a positive result at home if they are to stand any chance of making the knockout rounds. They currently trail second placed Juventus by three points, but can gain hope from the fact that they have won both of their games since losing to the Italians.

Away win looks great value
Juventus are the favourites at 2.08, with the draw at 3.55 and Sporting Lisbon at 4.10.

It's rare to see Juventus at a price bigger than evens and backing them to win has to be considered. Sporting have failed to win any of their last four home matches in the Champions League, in which they lost to Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid and this season, Barcelona.

Recommended Bet
Back Juventus to win at 2.08

Southampton v Arsenal: Gunners set for a night of frustration

Southampton v Arsenal Wednesday, 19:45 Southampton  Claude Puel has done a decent job at Southampton this season, but his future at the club could rest on how well his team performs in their last four games of the season. The Saints can finish as high as eighth or as low as 16th. A bottom-half finish could be enough to seal the fate of the former Nice manager, with rumours suggesting that the club hierarchy are considering his future. It's true that Southampton's Premier League campaign has been rather underwhelming, with the side struggling to find any consistency this season, yet Puel did guide them to the EFL Cup final. He's inherited a weaker squad than previous managers enjoyed, which has lacked firepower for much of the season. Charlie Austin could return against Arsenal to help to solve that problem, while the defender Matt Targett is another player in contention. Virgil can Dijk remains out. Arsenal The Gunners gave themselves hope o...
