The UEFA Champions League kicks off with the opening round of group stage fixtures this week as Juventus lock horns with PSG in a Group H encounter at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday.
Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will want to win this game to begin the competition on a positive note.
Juventus are currently in sixth place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best this season. The Bianconeri were held to a 1-1 draw by Fiorentina over the weekend and will need to up their game in this fixture.
PSG, on the other hand, are at the top of the Ligue 1 table at the moment and have been impressive so far this season. The reigning French champions eased past Nantes by a 3-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
