JUV vs BAR Dream11 Prediction: This promises to be an interesting game as it could either be highly entertaining or respect could take over and it could be a relatively dull tactical affair. Barcelona come into this match following defeat in El Clasico so Ronald Koeman will be desperate for a response from his players. They felt they were unfairly treated by VAR in the loss to Real Madrid but they will have to quickly turn their minds to this game. They carry an unbeaten run of 21 UEFA Champions League group stage matches into this game but Juventus pose a real threat to that. The Italians have not been at their best themselves as they have drawn against Crotone and Hellas Verona either side of their win in Kiev on matchday one. That has to be the most likely outcome of this game and it could very well be a tame goalless stalemate or 1-1, but it is hard to see either side winning this one based on current form and with the respect they both have for each other. Let’s take a look at JUV vs BAR Dream11 Team prediction now.

Juventus Team News
Juventus have made a bit of a slow start to the 2020/21 season, with the players not immediately taking to the ways of Andrea Pirlo. The Bianconeri have won just twice in five Serie A matches and also won their opening Champions League fixture, beating Dynamo Kyiv 2-0 last week. However, the fluidity is missing from their game, especially in the absence of Ronaldo.
Injury update, unavailability
Cristiano Ronaldo has tested positive for coronavirus for the second time, and will be unavailable. Dutch centre-back Matthijs de Ligt is yet to make an appearance this season due to a shoulder injury. Giorgio Chiellini and Brazilian left-back Alex Sandro are doubtful.
JUV Playing 11 & Subs (probable)
Szczęsny; Demiral, Bonucci, Danilo; Cuadrado, Bentancur, Rabiot, Chiesa; Ramsey; Dybala, Morata
Subs (probable): Higuain, Bernardeschi, Costa
Barcelona Team News
Barcelona, on the other hand, seem to be in a similar boat as their hosts. Unlike Juvenuts, though, the Blaugrana are not unbeaten, having already been beaten twice so far. The latest loss came in El Clasico this past weekend, as bitter rivals Real Madrid beat them 3-1. In the Champions League, however, Ronald Koeman & co. were off to a winning start last week, thrashing Ferencvaros 5-1.
Injury update, unavailability
Barcelona will be without the services of German goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, centre-back Samuel Umtiti and Brazil international Philippe Coutinho, who picked up an injury against Real Madrid at the weekend. Veteran centre-back Gerard Pique is suspended.
BAR Playing 11 & Subs (probable)
Neto; Dest, Araujo, Lenglet, Alba; Pjanic, De Jong: Dembele, Messi, Fati: Griezmann
Subs (probable): Puig, Busquets, Collado

Who will win JUV vs BAR Today Match Prediction Football
Barcelona still have quite a few of the players that won the 2015 final against Juventus, but as a team they look a million miles away from being able to scale the heights of European football again at the moment. Juventus have not been in great form themselves as they continue to find their feet under Pirlo, but they seem in less trouble than Barcelona and so we are backing them to come out on top on Wednesday, even without Ronaldo. We predict a 2-0 win for the hosts in JUV vs BAR today match prediction.
