Juventus vs Tottenham Hotspur - Clash of European rivals to produce BTTS

BTTS is the tip as Juventus face Tottenham Hotspur in the International Champions Cup at the National Stadium in Singapore. Given the attacking quality expected to be on display, I am backing both teams to score here at 1.62 while they are also predicted to cancel each other out for a draw at odds of 3.40.

The ICC will be the first taste of preseason action for Juventus who are coming off a successful title defence in the Italian Serie A. They finished seventh in the competition in 2018 after claiming one win and suffering one defeat in three matches.

The Old Lady are going into a new era with manager Maurizio Sarri at the helm. The Turin club have been quite busy in the transfer market with the acquisition of Mathijs de Ligt, Aaron Ramsey and Adrien Rabiot. A win is on Sunday is valued at 2.05 but with no clean sheets in their last seven matches and general preseason feel the match is expected to have, they are expected to concede against Spurs.

Aaron Ramsey and Adrien Rabiot have been included in the Juventus squad and could be handed their debuts against Spurs. Star man Cristiano Ronaldo is also in the squad and should form a formidable attack alongside Douglas Costa and Mario Mandzukic.

Tottenham were the champions of the ICC in 2018 as they claimed two wins and a draw to finish with seven points from three matches. They maintained that good form throughout the season, reaching the UEFA Champions League final.

The ICC will be the first preseason outing for Mauricio Pochetinno’s men who are looking for a repeat of last season’s performance. They are priced at odds of 3.50 for a win on Sunday but are expected to concede having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five matches.

New signing Tanguy Ndombele has an eye for goal and could be included in the starting lineup for Spurs. Regular attackers Harry Kane, Son Heung-Min and Lucas Moura were pivotal for the English Premier League club last season and should also feature against Juventus.

Juventus have a 2-1 edge with one draw from four previous matches against Spurs. Three of the last four meetings have seen BTTS while both teams played out a 2-2 draw in a Champions League clash in Turin during the 2017-18 season.

Juventus have plenty of quality in attack with Douglas Costa, Mario Mandzukic and the dangerous Cristiano Ronaldo. They also boast some goal threat from midfield with Aaron Ramsey and should have enough to get the better of the Spurs defence.

Spurs can also hold their own in attack with the trio of Son Heung-Min, Lucas Moura and Harry Kane. All three men carry a huge attacking threat and should trouble the Juventus backline.

Juventus and Tottenham Hotspur possess good quality in attack and are often unconvincing at the back. Having seen BTTS in three of their last four meetings, I am predicting a similar outcome here at 1.62 with both teams backed to play out a draw at odds of 3.40.
