Juventus will welcome Zurich to the Allianz Stadium on matchday five of the UEFA Women's Champions League on Thursday (December 15).
The hosts are coming off a 4-2 win at AS Roma in Serie A on Sunday. Lineth Beerensreyn scored a brace to help the Turin giants claim a comeback win. The victory helped the second-placed Le Bianconere close the gap on league laders Roma (30) to three points.
They will now turn their attention to the continent where they occupy third spot, having garnered five points from four games. Zurich, meanwhile, are at the bottom of Group C and are yet to register their first points of the season.
The Swiss outfit have not been in action since a 4-0 defeat at Lyon last week. Melvine Malard was the star of the show and had a hand in all four goals. She scored a second-half brace and also provided two assists to guide the defending champions to a comfortable victory.
