Preview: Olympiacos vs. Juventus

Olympiacos vs. Juventus

Juventus travel to Olympiacos in the Champions League on Wednesday with Group A shaping up to be a tightly-contested affair.

Juve, Olympiacos, Atletico Madrid and Malmo all have three points after two matches, but it is the Italian champions who top the table on goal difference.

Massimiliano Allegri's side head into the game having surrendered their winning start to the new Serie A season on Saturday with a 1-1 draw away to Sassuolo.

Olympiacos, who currently sit in fourth place in their domestic table, are in good form at the moment thanks to five victories from their last seven matches in all competitions.

Andrea Barzagli, Romulo and Martin Caceres are all sidelined for the visitors, while Arturo Vidal is also unlikely to feature. Olympiacos defender Ioannis Maniatis is one booking away from a suspension.
