Venue: Juventus Stadium
Recent form:
Barcelona: Barca are in dire need of a big result.

Juventus: Juve were always going to take some time to adapt to Pirlo’s tactics. There have been signs that the club is progressing under him. The 3-0 home win over Dynamo Kyiv was straightforward while the 2-1 win over Torino in Serie A showed the dogged side of the team.

BAR vs JUV Teams Captain options, Differential Picks
Lionel Messi: One of the best players of all time. Messi needs no introduction at all. But the season has been so uncanny that not only Barca are struggling, even Messi is struggling to hit his usual lofty standards. But he remains a good captain option in Dream 11 prediction teams.
Cristiano Ronaldo: Like Messi, Ronaldo will go down in the history books as one of the best to grace this beautiful game. He loves big occasions and you can bet on him to produce goods here.

Philippe Coutinho: No doubt he has failed to live up to his billing ever since making a move from Liverpool three seasons ago, what’s beyond the shadows is his ability. Count him out at your own disposal.
