Juventus concluded their UEFA Champions League campaign with a scoreless draw against Aston Villa on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, at Villa Park in Birmingham, England. It was a tough match that lacked much thrill, resulting in a stalemate that benefits neither team. Di Gregorio made notable saves, keeping an eye on Watkins in the first half and McGinn in the second. Juventus came close to scoring when Conceicao’s header from close range was brilliantly denied by Dibu Martinez.

Thiago Motta’s squad has gathered eight points so far, while the home team has ten, having started off strong but recently stumbled against Brugge. With a lengthy injury list, Motta has opted to position Weah as the false nine for this match.

Stats before the game

Aston Villa and Juventus are set to clash for the third time in the European Cup and UEFA Champions League, having previously faced each other in the quarter-finals of the 1982/83 season. Juventus came out on top with a 5-2 aggregate score, winning both legs during a campaign where they finished second. In their last 15 away matches against English clubs in European competitions, Juventus has only managed to win three times, with 3 draws and 9 losses. This will be their first away game against Aston Villa since their 0-4 loss to Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League in November 2021.

On the other hand, Aston Villa has enjoyed success at home in the Champions League, winning their first two matches. Only Spurs in 2010 and Leicester in 2016 have won all of their first three home games in this competition. Aston Villa also kept a clean sheet in both matches, while AC Milan is the only team to have won their first three home games without conceding a goal, a record set in the 1992/93 season. Chelsea was the last team to keep a clean sheet in their first three home games overall, with a record of 2 wins and 1 draw in 1999.

Juventus has managed to secure only one victory in their last seven away matches in the UEFA Champions League, recording two draws and four losses. Their sole win came against Leipzig earlier this season with a score of 3-2. Before this streak, they had a much better record, winning seven out of their previous nine away games, with just two losses. On the other hand, Aston Villa has been impressive at home, winning seven of their last eight matches in major European competitions, with only one loss, and five of those victories were by a single goal.

In terms of defensive performance, Juventus has allowed the most offensive recoveries against them in the first four matchdays of this season’s Champions League, totaling 54. Additionally, they have conceded the highest number of shots following these recoveries, tied with Young Boys at 11. Notably, Aston Villa’s manager, Unai Emery, has previously defeated Juventus twice in the Champions League, once with Sevilla in 2015 and again with Villarreal in 2022. No coach has ever managed to beat Juventus with three different teams in this prestigious tournament.

Player Stats

Dusan Vlahovic has made a significant impact in his six away UEFA Champions League matches for Juventus, contributing to five goals with four goals and one assist. He has been involved in at least one goal in each of his last three games, making him the first Juventus player to achieve this in four straight away matches in the competition.

On the other hand, Jhon Durán has scored in both of his home games in this season’s Champions League for Aston Villa. The only two players from Villa to score in three consecutive home matches in major European tournaments are Ian Taylor in the 1997/98 UEFA Cup and Ollie Watkins in last season’s Conference League.
