Juventus – Monaco
When: Tuesday 9 May 2017, 19:45 UK time.
Where: Juventus Stadium, Turin
Fundamentally, in this semi-final confrontation nothing has been decided yet. Juventus played the entire first half from the defense were meeting the opponent by whole team on their own half. Monaco were mistaken a lot especially near to own penalty area. The Italian team skillfully took advantage of the opponent’s mistakes scoring two goals and creating many dangerous moments. Firm defense of Juventus did not give the opportunity for Monaco to show their high-speed game. In this match there were not a lot of flank passes as it was in the matches against Borussia and Manchester City. But still Monaco created some dangerous moments at the gates of Juventus. The French team already played a backlog in two goals, in the match against Manchester City. So Monaco have every chance to compete for a ticket to the final.
Juventus will not change the strategy for the second leg. Massimiliano Allegri’s team perfectly plays in their home stadium and two guest goals is a very comfortable advantage. The second half of the first match Monaco held much better. After entering the field of Moutinho which is a more attacking player Monaco began to move faster in the field thereby creating more problems for the overall defenders of Juventus. Monaco’s early goal will turn everything upside down. If the team of Leonardo Jardim will avoid gross mistakes and play the same way as in the second half of the first match, then the chances to recoup are very high.
Prediction:
All the same, Monaco will score a goal against Juventus, but in the final will be a Turin club. In this match will be scored more than two goals. Odds on it are very high in online casino shangrila.com
Atletico Madrid – Real Madrid
When: Wednesday 10 May 2017, 19:45 UK time.
Where: Estadio Vicente Calderón, Madrid
If we compare this semi-final pair with Monaco and Juventus, it is much easier to predict which team will play in the final of this tournament. The first match between these two teams was completely controlled by home team, and as the result we have 3:0 Real Madrid victory. Atletico had obvious problems with controlling the ball in midfield. Real Madrid midfielders handled the ball and left their opponents without it, thereby, they intercepted attacks and did perfect passing job. The ball was not delivered to forward line players of Atletico that’s why they had only one, really good, chance to score for the whole match, but Gameiro lost it.
It seems that Atletico has no chance to reach the final stage of the tournament with 3 goals first leg deficit. Atletico should attack all the time hoping that Real Madrid will make several serious mistakes. Maybe it will give opportunity to come back in the game and probably equalize the score. In the first leg, after the second missed goal, Atletico tried to score one back, but Real used it skillfully, scoring the third goal after a counterattack. It is very important for Atletico not to concede a goal in the second leg, Diego Simeone’s team should be very carefull because if Real Madrid score one goal, Atletico should score five goals to win. Real Madrid will play their football and will punish their opponents for mistakes, as they did in the first leg. A quick goal will be an excellent start of the match for Atletico.
Prediction:
Real Madrid will play in the next round. Teams will score more than two goals. You can safely place bets on it in the online casino shangrila.com.
