Club Brugge welcome Juventus to the Jan Breydel Stadium on Tuesday in a must-win Champions League match.
Only one point separates the two teams, with Juventus in the 14th position of the classification with 11 problems, while the Bruges club is in position 19 with 10 problems.
The winner of the match will get their place in the knockout phase of the round of 16.
Club Brugge have managed some narrow victories, but their goal difference is -2, which could end up hurting them at the end of the league phase.
Juventus have not had the campaigns so far, the Italian giants wasting away at home to Stuttgart before being held back by Lille and Aston Villa. They jumped to beat Manchester City in space which kept them in the hunt in the competition.

Here’s how that time translates across the U.S.:
The Bruges club earned an incentive ahead of the upset against Juventus as left-back Joaquin Seys recovered from his hamstring injury to replace the club’s win over El Beerschot on Saturday.
Back center Zaid Romero looks likely to come out as he continues dental surgery.
Club Brugge predicted XI (4-2-3-1, on the left): Mignolet (GK) -Sabbe, Ordonez, Mechele, from Cuyper-Olyedika, Jashari-Talbi, Vanaken, Tzolis-Jutgla.
Injured: Seys, RomeroSuspended: None
Dusan Vlahovic came on a late substitute in Juventus’ 2-0 win over AC Milan in the Serie A on Saturday as manager Thiago Motta eases his star forward back into the team. Vlahovic’s presence could be a big boost for Juventus as they try to better their goal difference against Club Brugge.
Defenders Bremer, Juan Cabal and forwards Francisco Conceicao and Arkadiusz Milik are still out with injuries.
Juventus predicted XI (4-2-3-1 on the left): Di Gregorio (GK) – McKennie, Gatti, Kalulu, Cambiaso – Locatelli, Thuram – Yildiz, Koopmeiners, Mbangula – Vlahovic.
SUSPENDED: Bremer, Cabal, Concumicao, Miliksuspended: None
Both groups came into form with Juventus beating AC Milan while Club Brugge beat Beerschot 4-2.
Club Brugge’s defence in the Champions League, however, has had leaks this season, and as Vlahovic is expected to return to the starting line-up, Juventus are expected to opt for Brugge.
However, Motta will also have one eye on their match against Serie A leaders Napoli which will take place three days after their Champions League fixture.
