Juve defence to frustrate Monaco

Passionate locals vs miserly visitors

Punters know exactly what they are getting with Monaco in this season’s Champions League. The French cracks admit that they are not the most talented name in the field, but they have progressed to the final four by putting an emphasis on attack.

Adopting the score-one-more-than-you policy has won them friends across the board this season, and they squeezed past Man City courtesy of the away goal rule, having finished 6-6 on aggregate. That was followed in the quarter-finals with a 6-3 cheer vs Borussia Dortmund, capped with a 3-1 win over the Germans at this venue last month.

Monaco aiming to shoot down opponents

When placing that next to the 3-0 win of Juventus over Barcelona last time, goals looks a confident call in this one. Clicking yes in the both teams to score coupon will net you a tempting 7/10 when playing at Coral, and that can be slipped in to your midweek accumulators to boost up returns.

The red and whites warmed up for this clash with a 3-1 win over Toulouse in the French Ligue 1 on Saturday, goals from Glik, Mbappe and Lemar earning the bragging rights. That result ensured Leonardo Jardim’s side remained top of the league, enjoying a three-point cushion over nearest rivals PSG, with a game in hand. It was also their eighth league win on the bounce, meaning the locals go in with confidence running through the ranks.

Hosts written off by traders

Coral’s traders have written the home win off however, marking Monaco up as 19/10 second favourites for the victory, while they are as big as 15/8 to qualify over two legs, and keep their dreams alive.
