On Tuesday 22 October, Juventus will host Lokomotiv Moscow for a match of the third day of the group stage of the Champions League. Both teams will want to win to place in the top two teams.
Last year, Juventus stopped in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, eliminated by the enthusiastic Ajax Amsterdam team despite the recruitment of the top scorer in the history of the competition, Cristiano Ronaldo. After two games in this new edition of the C1, the Old Lady seems already well gone to qualify for the 1 / 8th finals. Indeed, she brought back a point of his move a priori the most perilous in this group, on the field of Atletico Madrid (2-2), then she squirmed the Bayer Leverkusen in the last match (3-0) . In the league, the Bianconeri occupy the top of the ranking with 22 points on 24 possible. On a good run of 5 straight victories, Juve alternately imposed on Hellas Verona (2-1), Brescia (1-2), SPAL (2-0), Inter (1 -2) and Bologna last weekend (2-1).
Opposite, Lokomotiv Moscow did not go beyond the group stage last year. But this season, the Russians got off to a strong start winning the Bayer Leverkusen on the first day. On the other hand, they were not able to resist Atlético Madrid in the next match and are now 3rd, only one of the two leading teams. In the league, the Muscovites are leading the standings for the moment. Like Juventus, they remain 5 consecutive successes after their good performances against Dinamo Saint-Petersburg (0-1), Orenburg (2-3), Zenit (1-0), Arsenal Tula (2 -1) and Akhmat Grozny last Friday (0-2).
Juventus are still without 3 potential holders Chiellini and the important De Sciglio and Douglas Costa, as well as substitute Pjaca, all stuck in the infirmary. In addition, the former Mandzukic and Emre Can are not qualified. This weekend, the five-time Golden Ball Cristiano Ronaldo scored his fourth goal of the season in the league.
For the Lokomotiv Moscow, many elements are missing. They are Peruvian Farfan, former Lyonnais Rybus, the important forwards Dordevic, Smolov and Zhemaletdinov, and substitute defender Rotenberg. Suspended this weekend, the titular circles Barinov and Ignatyev will return.
