FC Brügge

The Belgian side enters this match on a high note, having earned 10 points from six games in the league phase. Sitting in 19th place, their record of three wins, one draw, and two losses reflects a commendable level of competitiveness. Manager Nicky Hayen has favored a 4-3-3 formation that emphasizes quick transitions and pressing, and his team will be boosted by their strong home record of two wins from three games in this competition.

Their most recent 3-0 victory over RSC Anderlecht in domestic action highlights their confidence, while key players like Hans Vanaken and Ferran Jutglà will be pivotal in breaking down Juventus' defense.

Juventus, under Thiago Motta, have been in slightly better form, securing 11 points and sitting 14th in the standings. Their attacking style of play has yielded an impressive goal difference of 9:5, but they will be looking to bounce back from a 1-1 draw against local rivals FC Torino.

Away from home, Juventus remain unbeaten in the league phase, with one win and two draws, showcasing their resilience. The likes of Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Chiesa will be key to Juventus' success as they aim to repeat their 2-1 victory over Brügge in their previous meeting.

This is expected to be a closely fought contest, but Juventus' superior quality, historical advantage, and unbeaten away record give them the edge. While Brügge will look to capitalize on their home advantage, Juventus' tactical flexibility under Thiago Motta could prove decisive.

Juventus to win, with both teams likely to score.
