Juventus are off to an attractive start to the new Champions League season.
The Italian giants have only won three of their first six Serie A matches, but are yet to concede a goal and limit their opponents to a combined expected goals (xG) of 2.2.
The Old Lady just recently snapped a three-game unbeaten tie in league play.
What's even more interesting is that Juventus went through a difficult schedule, playing against Roma and Napoli, with 3-0 wins over Como, Hellas Verona and Genoa.
Yes, Juventus' six games this season have ended either unbeaten or 3-0. That's strange.
The Old Lady conceded a goal in the Champions League opener against PSV Eindhoven, but were able to beat the Dutch side 3-1.
Juve's thoughts now turn to Wednesday's second round of the Champions League, when they face RB Leipzig.

Juventus vs RB Leipzig predictions
Keeping an opponent clean in six games is a monumental feat in any league, but Leipzig's defensive record isn't all that bad either.
The Red Bulls conceded just two goals in their first five games, both of which were scoreless.
This is an astonishing 5 games with both teams having played 11 scoreless games in their respective domestic leagues.
But the main difference is that Juventus' defensive numbers actually look somewhat sustainable.
No one expects them to keep all their opponents scoreless in the league, but they concede just 0.44xG per game in Serie A.
RB Leipzig's statistical profile is a different story.
There's no arguing that they've been solid defensively, but the Red Bulls have conceded an expected 6.2 goals in five games and should consider themselves a little lucky to have only scored two goals so far. .

Both of these clubs are off to a strong start, and it's the defensive work that's carrying the burden. But the numbers show a bit of a drop off on one side.
Juventus could become a sleeping giant in this competition, and if everyone pays attention, we may never see prices like this.
