Juventus are coming off a thrilling 3-2 win against Bodo/Glimt, which should give them a boost of confidence heading into this match. With a predicted lineup featuring key players like Koopmeiners and McKennie, they'll look to control the midfield and exploit Pafos's defence. The absence of several players due to injury might force Juventus to be more cautious at the back, but their attacking options could make the difference.

Pafos, on the other hand, have had mixed results recently, with a notable win against Villarreal but also a heavy loss to Bayern München. Their predicted 4-2-3-1 formation suggests they'll aim to be solid defensively while looking to hit Juventus on the counter. Dragomir and Orsic will be crucial in midfield, but they'll need to be at their best to challenge a Juventus side that's finding its rhythm.

Juventus have shown resilience in their recent matches, securing a crucial 3-2 victory against Bodo/Glimt away from home. This win, coupled with their ability to draw against strong teams like Sporting CP and Villarreal, indicates they're building momentum. Despite a loss to Real Madrid, their form suggests they're capable of grinding out results, which should give them confidence heading into this match.

• Dusan Vlahovic (Thigh) - Out

• Carlo Pinsoglio (Leg) - Doubt

• Predicted lineup: Perin (GK), Koopmeiners (DF), Kelly (DF), Kalulu (DF), McKennie (MF), Miretti (MF), Locatelli (MF), Cambiaso (MF), Conceicao (MF), Adzic (MF), Openda (AT)

Juventus are expected to line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Perin in goal and a back three of Kalulu, Kelly, and Koopmeiners. This setup should allow them to maintain a solid defensive structure while giving McKennie and Conceicao the freedom to push forward and create scoring opportunities.

• Predicted lineup: Michail (GK), Bruno (DF), Luckassen (DF), Luiz (DF), Goldar (DF), Sunjic (MF), Pepe (MF), Quina (MF), Dragomir (MF), Orsic (MF), Anderson Silva (AT)

Pafos are likely to deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Michail between the posts and a back four of Bruno, Luckassen, Luiz, and Goldar. This formation should provide defensive stability, allowing Pepe and Sunjic to anchor the midfield and support the attacking trio of Quina, Dragomir, and Orsic.

• Andrea Cambiaso vs Bruno: Cambiaso's attacking prowess will be tested against Bruno's defensive solidity.

• Fabio Miretti vs Mislav Orsic: Miretti's midfield control will be crucial in neutralising Orsic's creative influence.

• Teun Koopmeiners (Juventus): Koopmeiners' versatility in defence will be key to Juventus's control and transition play.

• Anderson Silva (Pafos): His ability to exploit space and find time for goal attempts could make the difference here.
