JUV vs LEV Dream11 : Elusive win beckons Juventus today as the side turn to the comfort of their home conditions in a bid to record their first three points
Maurizio Sarri’s journey at Juventus was a highly touted one with a majority of the footballing fraternity claiming the two were the perfect fit, a partnership which was always bound to thrive and reach the echelons of the sporting world. Things however didn’t exactly fathom off in the dream manner many claimed they would with Sarri finding it tough to implement his strategy at the club with the side yet to bear impressions of the revered Sarriball.
However as the week have gone by, Sarri’s gameplan has started taking shape at the giants with footprints of his method of football and attacking play finally visible at the club. It sees them unbeaten in their previous 5 Serie A matches, going on a winning spree to climb as high as second place in the league standings.
However the one area of concern which remains for the side are their defensive problems, one which saw them slip up a two goal lead in their Champions League opener against Atletico Madrid, a colossal tie which the side all but had in their grasps before the backline fell apart. From 2-0 up to drawing 2-2, the side were left ruing what should have been a certain three points, a set of events they’ll like to avidly turnaround come today’s clash against Bayer Leverkusen in Group D.
Bayer Leverkusen meanwhile are coming into the clash in the wake of a 3-0 win over Augsburg in Bundesliga, a win which saw them become one of the five sides level on points and just the one point behind first place in the league. They ended up losing their first match in the marquee tournamnet to Lokomotiv Moscow, a result which sees them slumped in last place ahead of today’s impending clash which looks set to be another stringent and arduous test for them.

JUV vs LEV Dream11 Goal-Keeper
With Sarri finally managing to paint this side in his style of football, Juventus are gradually emerging as a ruthless side up the park, a clinical and guile filled outfit which is unsparing and unforgiving in their attacking sojourns. It’s this narrative which will see Bayer Leverkusen’s goal-keeper, Lukas Hradecky heavily involved today, seeing him being called upon multiple times to rescue his side and subsequently get some good save points for us.
JUV vs LEV Dream11 Defenders
With a cleansheet in their previous outing in the league against SPAL, Juventus showed glimpses of shutting out opponents, a sublime framework they’ll to imbed in place today as well. This sees us opt for the two defenders from their side with the home side looking overwhelming favourites to pull off a cleansheet today.
We are going in with Alex Sandro and Matthijs de Ligt from the side whilst we have left wingback, Wendell come in from the opposing side. The three man at the back, covered by two wingbacks formation allows Wendell to be given a free hand and keep marauding his way down the park, a role which could see him easily register a goal or assist in this one.
JUV vs LEV Dream11 Midfielders
We have kept things evenly balanced in this facet, choosing the two players a piece from either side. Beginning with our duo from Juventus, we have Miralem Pjanic and Rodrigo Bentacur come in for us with Pjanic scoring at the weekend in his side’s 2-0 win.
Elsewhere from the opposition we have gone in with their goal-scorer in their 3-0 win, Kai Havertz for this encounter along with Naidem Amiri. The two are going to play quissential roles for their side today, players who the side will heavily rely on to breach Juventus’ backline and fathom their way to a goal in this one.
JUV vs LEV Dream11 Strikers
An entire trivalent comes into our setup from the home side with us making ther top goal scorer, Cristiano Ronaldo the first pick for this match. Gonzalo Higuain should be preferred over Paola Dybala for this one but we are getting in both of them as well with even a substitute role for Dybala being enough to see him get a goal or assist today.
Captain And Vice-Captain
Ronaldo is our side’s captain for this fixture whilst we are opting for Higuain as our vice-captain.
