After the surprise defeat to Manchester United in their last match, Juventus is once again set to host Valencia in a crucial Champions League tie, with a point for the Old Lady of Turin guaranteeing qualification from the group. A victory for Valencia will mean that the Spanish side will reach within a point of the Serie A league leaders.
The Old Lady of Turin still occupies the top of the group with 9 points from 4 matches, with Manchester United sitting second with 7 points, and Valencia slightly further back with 5 points.
If Manchester United drops points against BSC Young Boys today and Juventus win their match against Valencia, the Italian giants can progress as the group leaders, while if Manchester United win their match against Young Boys and Valencia fail to earn a point against Juventus, the English giants will qualify to the knockout stages.
