Monaco come into this fixture in 21st place, on just nine points after their opening seven games. They boast a current record of two wins, three draws and two defeats, so this game is a must win if they want to secure their spot in the top 24. One thing they have struggled with is finding goals – they have scored just eight times, but have also scored 14, while Juve’s goal record is practically switched.

The Old Lady have enjoyed a solid European campaign, winning three of their games, drawing three but just one loss keeps them in contention for a spot in the top eight.
