Juventus is still out of form, this is no longer acceptable. Juventus started the season very badly. But they have been able to fix their weaknesses to a large extent. Now Juventus team can not be called strong but they are quite a stable team. I say this because they have won their last 6 matches in Serie A. Winning 6 matches in a row is not easy. The Juventus coach has managed to do this. However, there are still many weaknesses in the Juventus team. Nantes is not a weak opponent in the platform of the Europa League. But if Juventus give their full effort in this match then I think they can win against Nantes.
Now they are not out of the form they are improving and having positive development which is surely good change for them but suddenly now with the off field issues they can suffer again which could be never been good for them and their future because in last few matches they were doing good job and having positive results with many players were also coming back from injuries which give them good boost and now things looking good for them in UEFA Europa Cup because here they can give good performance and having chance to be gone until last four or two spots.
Many feeling they are the strong contender for the title, but it's never been easy because we have too many big clubs also in this competition and they all looking for recovery from their poor form into Champions League, so things can be tough for these all with few teams already having good time in this event in early round.
