Juventus, led by Thiago Motta, had a solid start to the season, where they are still unbeaten in 7 games, although they still have a lot of room for improvement, especially in attack. They gave their best offensive display in their last Serie A game, beating Genoa 0-3, but they had also been able to score three goals in their Champions League debut against PSV.

Their new rival will be RB Leipzig, who will be the slight favorite since the game will be played at the Red Bull Arena in the framework of European competitions where home advantage has been fundamental.

Perhaps this is the game where Juventus is most likely to lose its unbeaten streak, since they have not been good visitors in Europe lately, in fact they have lost in the last three visits in European tournaments. Only two coaches in Juventus' long history have managed to win the first two European games, and Motta will have the slight chance of becoming the third.

Both teams made interesting acquisitions in the transfer market, Nusa being one of them who was released on Saturday in the Bundesliga for Leipzig. The German team is coming off a resounding win in the Bundesliga, but lost 1-2 in their Champions League debut, although it was one of the most difficult matches as they had to visit Atlético de Madrid.
