The emotions of the Champions League return, with the penultimate day of the League Phase featuring Club Brugge-Juventus between scheduled matches. Both are in the playoff zone, with the Bianconeri having 1 point more. With a success, the hope of direct qualification to the round of 16 can remain alive. Appointment at 9.00 pm Jan Breydel Stadion from Brugge, Mr. Benoit Bastien directs the challenge.
HOW CLUB BRUGGE ARRIVES – Nicky Hayen should line up his team with the 4-2-3-1, placing former Liverpool player Mignolet between the posts. In front of the Belgian goalkeeper there is room for Ordonez and Mechele, in a defensive line completed on the flanks by Sabbe and De Cuyper. In midfield there will be Onyedika and Jashari, supporting an attacking quartet with Jutgla as an advanced reference while Vetlesen, Vanaken and Skoras are between the lines.
HOW JUVENTUS ARRIVES – Several doubts for Thiago Motta, with some players returning from physical problems who could make it for the match but still start from the bench. In his 4-2-3-1, in front of Di Gregorio there is space for a defense with Savona and Cambiaso (or McKennie) on either side of Kalulu and Gatti. Midfield entrusted to Locatelli and Thuram, while Koopmeiners will act a few meters further forward with Weah and Mbangula at his sides in the attacking midfield. Conceicao and Yildiz should be weapons in the ongoing race: exactly like Vlahovic, who should lose the run-off with Nico Gonzalez up front.
