Juventus will look to bounce back from the defeat to Napoli in the Serie A as they host UCL debutants Pafos FC.
Juventus tasted defeat for the first time under Spalletti when they lost 2-1 to Napoli at the weekend, now they turn their attention to Champions League debutants Pafos FC. Despite the fact that Pafos are UCL debutants, they are on level points with Juventus, adding a level of tension to this game.
Both teams will need a win to keep their hopes of making it to the knockout stages alive, and for Pafos, beating Juventus won’t only keep their UCL hopes alive but also become a part of their history, and Spalletti will be hoping his team can avoid this.

Juventus will be without their top scorer, Vlahovic, and centre-backs Federico Gatti, Daniele Rugani, and Bremer. Meanwhile, Pafos can welcome Joao Correia back from a ban, after the Cape Verde international completed a two-match UEFA suspension last month.
However, two ex-Watford men may be missing: Ken Sema is currently sidelined by injury, while Domingos Quina is a doubt.
