Group H’s two teams yet to register a point in this year’s Champions League meet tonight as Juventus host Maccabi Haifa at the Allianz Stadium.
Juventus, so long a great of the European game, have struggled immensely so far this season under the guidance of Massimiliano Allegri.
In the Champions League, they expectedly succumbed to defeat against PSG, but disappointingly lost to Benfica at home in the last round of fixtures.
Coming into the competition, Juve were favourite to go through to the knockout stages with PSG, but it’d appear a 3rd place finish and Europa League qualification is now more likely for them.

That’s of course unless Maccabi Haifa have something to say when it comes to a potential third place finish.
The Israeli outfit, who are yet to pick up a point in their Champions League history, will be hoping to cause an upset tonight.
They beat key Israeli Premier League rival Maccabi Tel-Aviv on Saturday and will hope to carry to momentum from that win to Turin this evening.
