Storylines
Juventus: Juventus will want a repeat of the last match that they won 3-0 while visiting Sweden. Weston McKennie will still be out for this game and Juventus are also expected to be without Fredrico Chiesa and Moise Kean. They’ll also want to keep their 100% record versus Malmo in European competition going. With a win and a shutout, Juventus can become the second side to win their first four matches against an opponent without conceding a goal, joining Barcelona who defeated BATE Borisov between 2011-2015.
Malmo: For Malmo, they’re up against it in this one. They have one of the worst away win percentages in Champions league history, only winning seven percent of their matches. Of teams who have played at least 25 away matches, only AEK Athens is worse with a four percent win rate. Malmo did score their first goal and get their first point of this Champions League campaign versus Zenit but this match will be a very different challenge to topple Juventus.
Prediction
Juventus continue their quest to revive Alvaro Morata as he scores a brace to pace the side. Pick: Juventus 3, Malmo 0
