Things don't get any easier for Max Allegri's men as they now face a Benfica side that have impressed during the early group stage encounters while also sitting pretty at the top of the Portuguese Primeira Liga Table. Tied on eight points at the top Champions League Group H with Paris Saint-Germain, a win would see Benfica themselves progress through to the tournament's next phase.

Juve come into this clash looking to erase the memories of being humbled 2-0 away at Maccabi Haifa in matchday 4. The reverse fixture back in September saw the Eagles beat Juventus 2-1 at the Allianz Stadium, with Joao Mario's penalty and a Neres' second-half strike earning Roger Schmidt's side all three points after Arkadiusz Milik had opened the scoring for the Old Lady.
