This time, the stakes are higher: with just two games left in the group stage, neither side is guaranteed to advance to the next round.
Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti will miss this crucial game with Vlahovic, Rugani and Milik. On the bright side, Kelly and Conceicao are back with the team after recovering from injuries.
Jose Mourinho, on the other hand, will have to deal with the absence of Luke Bacchio, Bach and Felix due to injuries. Suarez, Veloso and Rios are also doubtful.
Here is the projected starting lineup:
Juventus: DiGregorio Kaluru, Bremer, Kupmainas Cambiasso, Locatelli, Thuram, Kostic McKennie, David, Yildiz.
