Juventus vs Bayer Leverkusen
Champions League 2019/20 season
Venue: Juventus Stadium, Turin
Date: Tuesday 1st October, 2019
Kick-off time: 8pm BST
Juventus host Bayer Leverkusen in what could prove to be a tricky test for the Italian champions.
Juve opened their Champions League account this season with a 2-2 draw at Atletico Madrid, though Maurizio Sarri will know it should have been a win as the Bianconeri led 2-0 with 20 minutes left on the clock.
Sarri will want more concentration from Juve as Bayer head to Turin, and the Germans - who sit a point off top spot in the Bundesliga - will fancy their chances of causing problems despite a shock home defeat to Lokomotiv Moscow last time out.
Prediction: Juventus 3-1 Bayer
The signs point to a home win - if Juve can keep their focus. Still, Ajax showed last season that Juve can be exposed - and Bayer need to go for a result after losing the first group game.
