Club Brugge welcome Juventus to the Jan Breydel Stadium on Tuesday in a must-win Champions League match.
Just one point separates the two sides with Juventus 14th in the points table with 11 points while Club Brugge are in 19th place with 10 points.
The winner of the match will likely secure their place in the playoff phase of the knockout stages.
Club Brugge have eked out narrow wins but their goal difference stands at -2 which could end up harming them come the end of the league phase.
Juventus have not had the best of campaigns so far with the Italian giants losing at home to Stuttgart before being held by Lille and Aston Villa. They did bounce back by beating Manchester City at home which has kept them in the hunt in the competition.

Club Brugge vs. Juventus Prediction
Both teams come into the match in good form with Juventus beating AC Milan while Club Brugge thumped Beerschot 4-2.
Club Brugge's defence in the Champions League however, has been leaky this season, and with Vlahovic expected to come back into the starting lineup, expect Juventus to go for goals in Brugge.
However, Motta will also have one eye on their match against Serie A leaders Napoli which will take place three days after their Champions League fixture.
- Prediction: Club Brugge 1-3 Juventus
