Match Prediction: Juventus 2-1 Borussia Dortmund

Juventus, buoyed by three consecutive victories, will approach this match with confidence. Their defensive solidity, as evidenced by clean sheets against Genoa and Parma, suggests they will aim to control the game's tempo and exploit counter-attacking opportunities. 

Dortmund, in good form themselves, possess a potent attack capable of challenging Juventus' backline, as seen in their high-scoring games against St. Pauli and Union Berlin. 

The match could hinge on Juventus' ability to maintain their defensive discipline while capitalising on Dortmund's occasional lapses. Dortmund's flair and unpredictability might create moments of brilliance, but Juventus' recent success against them in friendlies indicates a tactical edge. Expect a closely contested affair, with Juventus likely to edge it due to their current form and home advantage.

Juventus enter this match on a high, having secured wins in their opening three Serie A games. Their recent clean sheets against Genoa and Parma, highlight a robust defensive structure that could be crucial against Dortmund's attacking threats. This form suggests Juventus will aim to control possession and limit Dortmund's scoring opportunities.

Juventus' ability to grind out results, as seen in their blockbuster 4-3 win over Inter on Saturday, indicates they are well-prepared for the challenges of knockout football.

Borussia Dortmund's recent form has been decent, winning three and drawing one of their opening four games in all competitions this season. 

Their ability to score freely, as demonstrated in the 3-0 win over FC Union Berlin and the 3-3 draw with St. Pauli, shows they can pose a significant threat to Juventus' defence. However, their defensive vulnerabilities, also evident in that draw, could be exploited.

Dortmund's inconsistency might be a concern, but their attacking prowess remains a potent weapon. If they can shore up their defence, they have the potential to challenge Juventus.
