Juventus all but assured of Champions League final slot

Juventus have one leg in the Champions League and tonight’s home fixture against Monaco is surely a formality.

But first things first. I didn't expect Arsenal to beat Manchester United 2-0. This always looked like a draw, considering the current form of both teams.

But not to take away anything from the Gunners, it was great to see striker Danny Welbeck score against his former team.

I think Arsenal have a real chance of finishing in the Top Four. Back home, it was surprising to see Gor Mahia beat AFC Leopards by such a huge margin. You don't lose a derby by that margin.

Perhaps Gor Mahia have started to smell the title and this played a big role in motivating them. All the same, I am happy there was no violence and stone-throwing and for that, congratulations to AFC Leopards fans.

Back to Italy tonight. I don’t think Monaco have what it takes to stop Juventus, who won the first leg 2-0 away.

But I foresee Monaco trying to get something from this match by scoring at least a goal, but I don’t think they will manage. The odds for this tight fixture are 1(1.66) X( 3.93) 2( 5.09) on www.dafabet.co.ke. Juventus are too disciplined at the back to concede.

The Italian giants were impressive in the first leg. They possessed well and hardly lost the ball. They were all over the pitch. It is difficult not to see them in the final. As I mentioned last week, history looks stacked against the French side when you consider that they have always struggled against Italian competition.

For example, in 11 meetings against Italian clubs, Monaco have won just three times, drawing twice and losing a record six matches.

Furthermore, the French side has lost twice to Juventus in the Champions League and this year could be a continuation of the same.

On another note, I was being informed that the dafabet Instant payouts are so instant. As soon as Manchester City scored their third goal at the weekend, all over 2.5 market bet predictions were settled.

They have also introduced Daily Jackpots bonuses, which I understand some have enjoyed the fruits of the bonuses.
