Juventus will take on Bordeaux away from home, in a game that could see the Bianconeri qualifying for the knockout stage in the Champions League.

With Bayern Munich playing whipping boys Maccabi Haifa in the other match in Group A, the Bavarian giants will come within touching distance of Juve, should the Italians lose the encounter.

This would in turn initiate a showdown in Turin, which would be a make-or-break situation for Ciro Ferrara’s men when the Bundesliga club come visiting on Matchday 6 of the competition.

All that pressure can be avoided with a win, which would guarantee progression among the European elite.
