Barcelona vs Juventus prediction and match preview

Barcelona have a perfect record in the Champions League this season. Ronald Koeman's side has won all five of their group games and confirmed their place in the last 16 of the competition. Blaugrana have also scored 16 goals and conceded only two in Europe's elite competition this term and are very much in charge of the top spot in the group. 

Meanwhile, Juventus have also qualified into the next round, having racked up 12 points from their four group games. Andrea Pirlo's men suffered their only defeat of the season against Barcelona at Turin in October. The Old Lady can still claim the top spot in the group if they win by three goals or more, or by any two-goal margin other than 2-0.

The high-profile game is also likely to see Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo square off on the pitch for the first time since the latter left Real Madrid in 2018. With both teams having already secured qualification into the next round of the Champions League, our Barcelona vs Juventus prediction is a 2-2 draw.
