Juventus is coming into this match with a slight trend to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in 2 of their last 3 matches and they have not been in great form in these. They only have 1 win in their last 4 straight matches, but they are coming off of that win in their last match and that will give them some confidence here. Their attack has been very good as they have scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 3 matches, but their defense has also allowed 6 goals in those 3 matches as well. They will have some confidence from their 2-0 away win over the weekend, but prior to that they drew 2-2 with Parma and 4-4 with Inter Milan. They have also gone over 2.5 goals in 2 of their 3 Champions League matches, scoring at least 3 goals and allowing 1 goal in 2 of those 3 matches, but they lost their last match at home 1-0 to Stuttgart and did not play well in that match. They will be pushing to bounce back as these could be crucial points for them in the end and they will likely try to get after their opponent here as they have a lot more success with that style in their first 2 matches of the league phase. They are going up against a Lille side that has not been trending to the over in their recent matches, but they are coming off of a 1-1 match at home against Lyon in their last match and both teams had plenty of opportunities to score more in that match. Lille has had a very strong attack recently as they have scored at least 2 goals in 2 of their last 3 matches, but they have also conceded in 2 of their last 3 matches as well. They will struggle to keep this Juventus attack out as Juventus will be pushing for a win here now that they have some confidence back on their side, but their defense has been awful recently and will not keep out this Lille attack at home. Between these two sides, there will be enough goals in this match to push it over 2.5 goals.
