Match Preview
Aston Villa will hope to break out of their recent slump and maintain their impressive Champions League form when they host Juventus tomorrow night.
Villa have not won in five games in all competitions although Saturday’s 2-2 Premier League draw with Crystal Palace did, at least, end a run of four successive defeats.
They have won three of four in Europe, though, with their only defeat coming last time out against Club Brugge.
Villa will need to be at their best if they are to get anything against a Juve side that continues to improve under Thiago Motta.
They extended their unbeaten run in Serie A to 13 games at the weekend with a goalless draw at AC Milan. Indeed, their only defeat this season has come in the Champions League after they were beaten 1-0 at home by Stuttgart on Matchday Three.
