Vs

Juve face Club Brugge on tuesday with hopes of staying in first place, while Club Brugge hope to possibly advance to the knock-out stages. The first leg ended with a 1-2 away win for Juve with Nedved and Trezeguet scoring for Juve before Jeavion Yulu-Matondo scored for Brugge.

after the strong performance at the weekend i expect nothing less from Juventus than a clear win like 2-0 or 3-0.
are there any important Juve players injured or will there be any rested?

Well, Ibrahimovic will not be at the game because of the red card he obtained against Bayern so Del Piero will take his place in the attack. But other than that the line-up could be the same as the one that faced Roma on Saturday.

thanks for that.
this means that Juve will play with a very strong formation + at home so if everything works normal they will win pretty relaxed.

Here are the line-ups: kick off in ~ 2 minutes

JUVENTUS
(4-4-2)

32 Abbiati C.
19 Zambrotta G.
21 Thuram L.
28 Cannavaro F.
3 Chiellini G.
16 Camoranesi M.
8 Emerson F.
4 Vieira P.
11 Nedved P.
17 Trezeguet D.
10 Del Piero A.


BRUGES
(3-5-2)

1 Butina T.
26 Maertens B.
15 Spilar M.
6 Clement P.
32 Vanaudenaerde G.
7 Verheyen G.
3 Vermant S.
18 Leko I.
17 Gvozdenovic I.
14 Dufer G.
22 Portillo J.

0-0 at halftime but i think some time in the 2nd half they will make it 1-0 and if its in the 92nd, it doesn't matter as long as they win and i am sure they will win it.

Juventus 1 - 0 Club Brugge

Del Piero came through at the end scoring in the 80th minute with a game wining header. Juve came out in the second half more determened than in the first and it paid off!

forza del piero.

i remember watching him 8 (or whatever) years ago with his backheel against borussia... del piero is some player. i'm not a big fan of juve but i sure like del piero (and zambrotta and some other guys).

somehow it was clear that Juve would score that goal sooner or later.
even the commentator said:"this is a typical game by an italian club. looking at the match everything looks set for a 1-0 to Juve."
1-0 is not too impressive but Brugge gave Bayern some problems too and just lost 1-0 against them aswell.

Well it was difficult for Juve to do more, but they were trying. Brugge played defense the whole game and kept 10 players in their own half for practically the whole game, so it was diffucult to attack like we normally do.

absolutely right.
so Brugge played the same way like they did against Bayern and they came away again with a respectable 1-0 even they had nothing to lose so they could have tried to attack often but it seems like they are glad anyway when they just lose close at Juventus.
somehow Bayern and Juventus both have some problems against those defensive minded teams like Brugge but i think Bayern and Juventus have both a good balance between attack and defence.
for me those 2 are big candidates to go far in this CL campaign because they are really good in slowing down attacking teams(like last season they did with Arsenal / Real). if they can manage to slow down defensive minded teams aswell unlike last season(Chelsea / Liverpool) then things look great for them.
