Preview: Malmo vs. Juventus

Malmo vs. Juventus

The dramatic 3-2 victory over Olympiacos on matchday four kept Juventus's hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League alive.

Now, they travel to Sweden on Wednesday night in need of another win. Heading into that encounter, Massimiliano Allegri's men are level on points with second-placed Olympiacos, who travel to Atletico Madrid.

The Old Lady's form away from home in Europe's premier club competition is not exactly positive, though. They are without a win from their last six encounters on the road, losing on five occasions.

Uruguayan defender Martin Caceres will remain on the sidelines for this clash with a thigh problem, while there are also injury concerns over left-backs Patrice Evra and Kwandwo Asamoah.

Hosting Malmo, who sit bottom of the standings on three points, have injury problems of their own, with Robin Olsen and Erik Johansson both expected to miss out with muscular complaints.

When the two sides met earlier in the group campaign, Juve ran out 2-0 winners thanks to a brace of goals from Argentine striker Carlos Tevez.

Malmo:

Form in Champions League: LWLWLL Form in all competitions: LWLLDW

Possible starting lineup: Olsen; Ricardinho, Johansson, Tinnerholm, Helander; Halsti, Adu, Forsberg; Rosenberg, Eriksson, Thelin

Juventus:

Form in Champions League: WLWLLW Form in all competitions: WLWWWW

Possible starting lineup: Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Chiellini; Pirlo, Vidal, Marchisio, Pogba, Padoin; Llorente, Tevez

Sports Mole says: 0-2
