Chievo vs Juventus betting tips 25 September: "Chievo is coming from a 2:1 victory over Udinese at home on Saturday evening, as the team got their first victory into the new season and will try to use their momentum to hurt much more superior opponent tonight as they welcome Juventus. Even though Chievo stood behind in the scoreline in first minute, they quickly equalized in thirteenth minute with a goal from Pellissier and kept searching for the second goal mostly on counter attacks."
Although visitors from Udine had much more of the ball possession, Chievo played mostly on counter attacks and were more efficient in the game getting the 2:1 lead in 40th minute with a goal from Rigoni, which turned out to be the final result as Udinese weren’t very concrete in their attacks during the rest of the match. With this victory, they have now 1-1-2 record with four points taken, which is currently two points more than relegating placed Parma. Their target remains staying in the league, while they will try to make a surprise tonight and snatch points against one of the strongest sides in the country. Captain Pellissier had a great previous game, but might be taken off for this one, as he is not fully fit to play withing few days again. Defender Dainelli and midfielder Kupisz remain sidelined for this game too. Hosts will field up the attacking line led by Thereau and Paloschi.
Juventus, on the other hand, is coming from a 2:1 victory over Verona at home last weekend, although the final result doesn’t reflect the real image between the two sides on the field. Players from Juventus were way more dominant on the field and have deserved even bigger margin victory over guests that were limited to a very passive role during the match.
However, visitors started the game in the best possible way as they took the lead in 36th minute, but goals from Tevez and Llorente quickly turned the result to Juventus’ favor before the half-time whistle. With this victory, they have 3-1-0 record in the league, with the only setback being a draw against Inter away from home. Their good start in the season was somehow spoiled with a draw away to Copenhagen in Champions League, setback that might complicate their future in Champions League later on. Chiellini is expected to be back in the squad after being rested in previous round, while Vucinic is also expected to start from the first minute, while Llorente might be his substitution later in the game. Pepe and Caceres remain longer term injured players.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Chievo’s last three games in Serie A.
Juventus are undefeated in their last six matches against Chievo in all competitions.
Open game is expected from both teams as simply Juventus is one of the strongest attacking sides in Italy, while Chievo traditionally gets much more points in front of the home crowd and has nothing to lose in this one. Hosts improved the form with recent victory and will take a bit more relaxed approach, which should led to more open game than the bookies suggest.
Bet: Over 2.5 goals
