Juventus, who has already locked up a spot in the knockout stage of the 2021-22 UEFA Champions League, will face Malmo FF on Wednesday. Juventus has 12 points in its group and is tied for the lead with Chelsea, but the Italian side loses in the tiebreakers thanks to a negative goal differential in head-to-head matchups. Thus, it is a long shot for Juventus to lock up the top spot, but it would still like to enter the knockout round with momentum. You can stream the match live on Paramount+.
Kickoff for Malmo vs. Juventus is set for 12:45 p.m. ET from Allianz Stadium in Turin, Italy. Juventus is the -570 home favorite (risk $570 to win $100) on the 90-minute money line in the latest Juventus vs. Malmo odds. Malmo is the +1600 underdog, a draw would return +600, and the over-under is 3.5 goals. Wednesday’s match will be streamed live on Paramount+ with their must-have Premium plan.

UEFA Champions League picks for Malmo vs. Juventus
Before you tune in to Wednesday’s match, you need to see the Juventus vs. Malmo picks from SportsLine’s proprietary European soccer model. Created by two Norwegians — professional poker player and sports bettor Jonas Gjelstad, and economics and engineering expert Marius Norheim — the model analyzes worldwide betting data and exploits market inefficiencies, helping its followers cash in. Since coming to SportsLine last year, the algorithm is up over $8,500.
For Juventus vs. Malmo, the model is backing under 3.5 total goals scored. There were three combined goals scored when these teams met in September, when Juventus prevailed 3-0. The club found the back of the net three times in the first half and then wasn’t as aggressive in the second half. Juventus will likely employ a similar strategy on Wednesday in which it gets an early lead and then takes its foot off the pedal.
Juventus’ miniscule chance of getting the top spot in its group also likely means the team will rest many of its star players. The team just had a Serie A contest on Sunday, so it will enter play on Wednesday with one less day of rest than Malmo. Juventus will have little to play for and a lesser-talented starting 11 would also lead to fewer goal-scoring opportunities.
As for Malmo, it could field its best 11 and it still might not get on the scoreboard. That’s what the Swedish side did during its first five Champions League group matches, when it came away with one goal total. Malmo averaged nearly two goals per game in its domestic league, but has proven not to be as competitive in European competition.
