"Aston Villa" and "Juventus" had an intense encounter, testing both teams' resilience. Discover the unfoldings and outcomes of this clash.

Lulling game with flashes of activity — this is how one can describe the match between "Aston Villa" and "Juventus". Pragmatic Thiago Motta opted for ball control, and it must be admitted, his players managed it quite well. However, there were no apparent intentions to attack in the first 20 minutes. In contrast, "Aston Villa", relinquishing the ball, sought to exploit quick counterattacks whenever the chance arose. These home team actions appeared far more threatening.

The most dangerous moment emerged at the very end of the first half when Digne took a free kick from 18 meters. The crossbar saved "Juventus" from conceding.

Virtually nothing changed in the second half, except "Juventus" started playing slightly sharper in attack. The biggest threat came from the steps of the "Old Lady's" number seven — Conceicao, who became the author of two dangerous moments. In the first case, the ball struck Pau Torres' arm after his pass, but as the arm was close to the body, the referees found no reason for a penalty. And on the 65th minute, only Martinez's skill prevented the ball from fully crossing the goal line after the Portuguese's header. Just one centimeter was missing...

"Villa" responded with a very dangerous moment when Locatelli already rescued his team, blocking McGinn's shot. Di Gregorio probably wouldn't have helped in that instance. The match concluded with a sequence of substitutions and a cancelled goal in the last compensated minute, as the hosts apparently attacked the "Juventus" goalkeeper, which led to annulment. A quite fair draw, well characterizing the current "Juventus". Thus, the teams continued their series. "Villa" hasn't won in 7 consecutive matches, while "Juventus" remains unbeaten for the same number of games. However, this draw lifted the Birmingham side to the 9th place in the standings, while "Juventus" dropped to the 19th.

In the final round of this year, Birmingham will travel to Leipzig, while "Juventus" will host the fluctuating "Manchester City". Forecasting the outcomes of these matches is exceedingly difficult.
