Juventus welcome Borussia Dortmund to the Juventus Stadium this Tuesday in a highly anticipated UEFA Champions League clash. The Italian giants, two-time winners of the tournament, are making their 39th appearance in Europe’s elite competition, while Dortmund, past winners themselves, enter their 23rd campaign.
Juventus come into this match off the back of a thrilling 4-3 Serie A victory against Internazionale. Borussia Dortmund, meanwhile, maintained their momentum in Germany with a convincing 2-0 Bundesliga win over Heidenheim.
The two sides last met in Europe with Juventus running out 3-0 winners, and Dortmund will be eager to set the record straight this time around.

Juventus:
Michele Di Gregorio; Pierre Kalulu, Lloyd Kelly, Bremer, Federico Gatti; Khéphren Thuram, Weston McKennie, Teun Koopmeiners, Manuel Locatelli; Dusan Vlahovic, Kenan Yildiz.

Match Prediction
Both sides are in strong domestic form, but given Juventus’ home advantage and Dortmund’s attacking threats, this one could be finely balanced.
