Juventus vs Malmo: TV channel, live stream, team news & prediction
Juventus host Malmo on matchday six of the 2021/22 Champions League group stage, knowing that a victory still gives them a chance of topping the group and being seeded in the last 16 draw,
Juve slipped up last time out when they lost 4-0 to Chelsea. Despite that setback, a place in the knockout stages is secure, but it does mean that Chelsea are in control.
Any miss-step from the Premier League side in Russia against Zenit St Petersburg offers a chance.
Malmo, European Cup finalists way back in 1979, are already eliminated and will exit Europe altogether in fourth place in Group H, come what may here.

Juventus vs Malmo head-to-head record

Earlier this season it finished 3-0 in their favour thanks to goals from Alex Sandro, Paulo Dybala and Alvaro Morata all in the first half.
The previous games took place in the 2014/15 Champions League group stage. Juve won 2-0 home and away, with Carlos Tevez scoring three of the four goals across both games and Fernando Llorente getting the other.
Juventus vs Malmo score prediction
Notwithstanding a handful of key absences, Juve have the quality to comfortably win this game and should do. With a seeded last 16 place to play for and facing an opponent already knocked out of the competition, there are no excuses not to get a win.
Whether it will be enough to win the group, only Chelsea and Zenit can dictate.
Prediction: Juventus 2-0 Malmo
