Juventus entertain Valencia on Tuesday, knowing they can secure a spot in the Champions League knockout stages as long as they avoid defeat.

La Vecchia Signora surprisingly squandered a lead to lose 2-1 against Manchester United but have won both their league games since that defeat, scoring four times and conceding none in the process.

Juventus and Valencia have only ever played each other once, earlier this season.

Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off, reducing the former Real Madrid forward to tears, but two Pjanic penalties ensured the Serie A champions left Spain with three points.

Valencia were gifted a penalty in stoppage time but Parejo was denied by Wojciech Szczesny.

Recent Form

Juventus returned from the international break and put in a typical performance against SPAL on Saturday, winning 2-0 thanks to goals from Ronaldo and Mario Mandzukic. They had previously beaten Milan at San Siro after their United calamity.
