    I think this time it will be Juventus game , they are playing home and Dortmund's 1st problem is their situation from the standings in Bundesliga, where they should continue their winning form in order to be sure that they wont relegate. Juventus has all the reasons and potential right now to make a long Champions League . And the odd is perfect

    Is hard to say either both teams will score or not , i will pass this choice, Juventus has a great defence, but Dortmund might score , they have Augbameyang in a great shape . From my point of view better to skip it

    This leg is so close, I think Juventus should win this if they finally start playing top level European Football, but the question is , can they?, seems to me like Dortmund is a side that has had great momentum in the European competition for couple of years now and I doubt that this is about to stop and now they are already in the mid of the table in Bundesliga, relegation is not an issue for them, if you actually pay close attention you will see that all dortmund needs is a good run of winning games to even think about European competition again, I think they have all in their power to achieve this.

    With this been said what exactly makes you think that Juventus will take this? Juve had issues with teams in the group stage perhaps looked what happened with Olympiakos, I know games are different but Dortmund is no team that sits and play defense....perhaps they can't do that too well...I want to believe that Juve will win tomorrow but Dortmund is a tough bone and Klopps and company had picked up a great momentum. Any info you can share on this match will be greatly appreciated.

    Between every countries own soccer leagues, Friendly's other tournaments and champions league it's really silly

    The champions league really does not make sense as it goes on when leagues are still in play

    All the top soccer league winners at the end of the year should play in a tournament

    I love Dortmund , i am a big fan , i am watching every game i know everything regarding this team, but betting is another field, you dont bet with the heart. Dortmund will miss alot of key players, and Reus , Augbameyang and Gundogan are not enough infront a brutal defense that Juventus has. 3 wins in a row are not enough for Dortmund, and the last win was with alooot of luck if you saw the game. Pogba and Tevez served by Pirlo from the back will make the difference in this match. Shortly the video will be on up and you can check more stuff and infos there.
    Best of luck

    LOL only Groskreutz is out and his not a key player...

    Reus , Augbameyang and Gundogan are not enough infront a brutal defense that Juventus has
    LOL2 What about Reus,Augbameyang, Immobile playing counter-attack and getting passes from Kagawa, Gundogan,Sahin and Mikhtarian and Ramos coming from the bench do Juve have fast enough player to stop them ? Hell NO

    -Pressure on Juve
    -Second game in front of 80.000 people at home advantage for Dortumund so Juve needs to open up a bit at home with suits Dortmund
    -BvB with better coach who knows how beat much better teams thah Juve
    -Juve don`t play in serie A which teams that press and run so hard they are not used to game like this.

    Value on BvB with odds ~2.15 to qualify

    i would take the under 1st leg going to be tight nobody wants to give up goals, 1-0 home win maybe 1-1 but should be low scoring

    I have to agree with the forum, Dortmund can exploit Juve's defense in a heartbeat. And saying that winning 3 games in a row are not enough for Dortmund to pick up momentum could be underestimating them. I did watch the game against Stuttgart, I do not agree that they were lucky to win it, it was played as the other series of games between this 2 teams had played for a few years now...there was no surprise.

    I do like the comment that Juve will have to play a little open to try to get a goal here but how open?, would Pogba play a few meters behind his normal position? .... Any how, a tight game here hard fought in the mid-field is what I would expect.
    Cheers forum good debate in here.

    Ciro Immobile, Jakub Blaszczykowski, Sebastian Kehl, Sven Bender, Erik Durm, and Mats Hummels are doubtful for the game. Mikhtarian is not 100% fit , he is not the player from last year.

    Is a great debate, let's enjoy the game tomorrow

    Best of luck guys

    Doubtful doesn`t mean they out, besides only Hummels and Bender are key players here, but Kampl is out for sure...

    Hummels unavailable away to Turin is probably a good thing for the Germans

    He`s a bit slow but good matchup for strong Llorente, not so sure about Subotic...

    Auba is in form? Ehm, so is Kagawa and Reus aswell. Every single goal scored since the season picked up after the winterbreak have had one or more of those three involved in them.

    Immobile haven't started a single game since the winterbreak, nor have Bender, Blasz have been rotated aswell. And at any rate Sahin , Ilkay have shown good form lately. Hummels was rested friday so that he'd be avaliable tomorrow in Turin. And at any rate Dortmund's game isn't to hang back and wait they come storming out of the gates which is very different from any other team Juventus face on a weekly basis in their league where they are ''king sh*''

    You either keep up with Dortmund or you get run over, that's how Klopp likes to play football, he goes for the throat.

    Durm, Blasz and Hummels (have all been rested) and are expected to start considering they haven't been sidelined by injury, they've had the flu.

    I like Juventus-Borussia Dortmund UNDER 2.5 also. Good luck to Borussia scoring on that tough Juve defense. I can see a result like 0:1, 0:2 or 1:1 in the worst case scenario for Juventus. Besides, I like Atletico Madrid ML, who is clearly a better team here and should have no problems beating Bayer. Atletico isn't Benfica or Zenit, who Bayer beat in the group stage. They're a legit CL Final contenders and they are playing really good and disciplined defense.
    As for Man City-Barcelona: I'd say Barcelona 0, -0.5. Man City might just struggle scoring without Yaya Toure, so I'm giving Barcelona the edge here. OVER/UNDER 2.5 seems a little bit like a trap, so I'd avoid that one.

    Juventus - Dortmund : By looking at this fixture, current form of both teams, odds offered - to be on the safe side, it tells us all to basically stay away or take the home side to win and/or game to stay under. It makes sense. for Juventus to pressure, have possession and get a hard-fought win at the end. For some reason it is never like that. I personally think Dortmund will show up for this game, and prove once more they are not just any team. I am expecting a lot of shots on goal from both sides, some frustration from the home side, a few yellows, Dortmund to score early, and the game to go over! My final take, bet on this game is Both teams to score & Over 2.5! I will not be surprised if Dortmund will score in both halves and wins this! I will avoid any live bet in case I am wrong and just enjoy the game.

    Yeah, defense so ''tough'' that Olympiakos put two past them. Juve lacks a big roster which have forced them to match their main 11 very hard all season long, and you can tell as the season drags on that it's starting to wear on several players. As for Juve's defense, their isn't a single team in the entire Seria A that has an offense that comes close to the offensive threat that Reus - Auba - Kagawa pose.
