Juventus will look to get back to winning ways when they welcome Benfica for a Champions League encounter at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday evening. The Bianconeri suffered a 2-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on the opening matchday of the European competition and also failed to secure the three points on offer against Salernitana in Serie A in their previous outing. Massimiliano Allegri will be desperate to turn around the fortunes of his team and what better occasion than a Champions League night in front of the home fans.
Meanwhile, Benfica, are in a rich vein of form having won all six matches in the Portuguese league. They also beat Maccabi Haifa 2-0 in the Champions League and will be gunning for another three points when they take on the Italian giants.
