Team news

Juventus: Allegri has announced in the pre-match press conference that striker Arek Milik won't start after he suffered a minor injury on Tuesday. Goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is finally back and it's likely that without Milik the Bianconeri will go back to the 4-3-3 with Filip Kostic and Angel Di Maria to support Dusan Vlahović as the main striker. 

Maccabi Haifa: The visitors are expected to play with American Josh Cohen as goalkeeper and a three-man backline with Dylan Batubinsika, Shon Goldberg and Abdoulaye Seck. Daniel Sundgren and Chery should play as wingers, with Neta Lavi and Mohammed Abu Fani as midfielders. Chery is expected to play as a number ten behind Frantzdy Pierrot and Dean David as strikers. 

Prediction 

Juventus have no alternatives and can't fail this time against Maccabi Haifa. Three points is the only possible result for the Italian side.  Pick: Juventus 3, Maccabi Haifa 0.
