Juventus will be hoping to bounce back from that shock loss to Cagliari at the weekend when they face Benfica on Wednesday.
Juventus saw their seven-game unbeaten run come to an end when they narrowly lost to Cagliari at the weekend. In the UCL, Juventus are almost guaranteed a spot in the playoff phase but they can’t afford to lose their next two games.
Benfica will look to make the game as hard as possible for Juventus. Jose Mourinho’s men also have UCL glory on their mind and having started 2026 in poor fashion, they would want to play for a good result against Juventus.
Mourinho’s men ended 2025 with an 11-game unbeaten run but in 2026, they suffered back-to-back losses against Braga and Porto. This game is a shot at redemption for Mourinho.
