    Sevilla – Juventus  
.

It’s the big day for Juventus to secure the qualifications for the UEFA Champions League Round of 16.   Currently, Juventus is in the second position of Group H with 8 points while Sevilla holds the first position with 10 points.  Here is the situation.  Juventus need just a victory to qualify for the knockout stages; a victory will secure the qualification reaching 11 points leaving Sevilla in the second position. In case of losing against Sevilla, KNOCK ON WOOD, Juventus can qualify if Lyon loses the match against Dinamo Zagreb.  There is only one more game after Matchday 5 leaving 3 more available points.

• Juventus are playing in Group H: Juventus (ITA), Sevilla (ESP), Lyon (FRA), Dinamo Zagreb (CRO)

A key player in this game is missing.  Argentinian forward Gonzalo Higuain is not called up because he is injured.   Chances for Juventus might be to use Colombian midfielder Juan Cuadrado to make a difference with forward Mario Mandzukic.   Good news is to see the return of midfielders Claudio Marchisio and Miralem Pjanic.

Juventus defender Dani Alves played for Sevilla between 2002 and 2008 winning the UEFA Cup twice wth Sevilla.
