Juventus will be hoping to end a nightmare Champions League campaign by securing Europa League football when Paris Saint-Germain visit the Allianz Stadium on Wednesday.
As we head into Matchday 6, Juventus find themselves third in Group H – eight points outside the qualification spots and level on three points with last-place Maccabi Haifa.
With PSG and Benfica leading the way on 11 points, the Parisians will be looking to seal their fourth victory of the campaign and clinch top spot in Group H.
Believe it or not, Juventus have only managed to win one of their five Champions League games this season – suffering four defeats along the way.
Worse still, the Italians head into Matchday 6 with a goal difference of –3 after scoring eight goals and conceding 11.
Following back-to-back defeats, Juventus beat Maccabi Haifa on Matchday 3 before suffering back-to-back defeats again – including a 2-1 loss to PSG.
Although Juve have won each of their past three Serie A games, they have not been able to carry their improving domestic form onto the European stage.
On the flip side, PSG have won three and drawn two of their five Champions League games this term – thrashing Maccabi Haifa 7-2 on Matchday 5.
The Parisians have scored 14 goals across their five UCL games (2.8 goals per game), thanks largely to Kylian Mbappe (6 goals, 2 assists) and Lionel Messi (4 goals 3 assists).
It is also worth noting that PSG are unbeaten in Ligue 1 this season, having won 11 and drawn two of their 13 league games.
Thanks to last weekend 4-3 victory over Troyes, the French giants have avoided defeat in each of their previous 28 competitive encounters.
Head-to-head: Believe it or not, September’s meeting was the first-ever Champions League clash between Juventus and PSG.
PSG racked up 58% possession and 15 shots in the reverse fixture, with Mbappe bagging a brace. Meanwhile, Juve recorded 13 shots.
Team news: Juventus are blighted by injury at the moment, with star players such as Dusan Vlahovic, Angel Di Maria, Federico Chiesa and Paul Pogba on the sidelines.
As for PSG, they have no injury concerns – meaning head coach Christophe Galtier has a full-strength squad at his disposal.
Given that Juventus have lost four of their five Champions League games this season, PSG are expected to make light work of the Italians.
Forebet predicts that PSG will score over 2.5 goals and keep a clean sheet on their way to inflicting another UCL defeat on Juventus.
