Juventus enter Thursday night eager to wipe away the frustration of a 3–0 Serie A home defeat against S.S. Lazio on Sunday, October 18.

Powered by forward Randal Kolo Muani alongside wide playmakers Nicolás González and Francisco Conceição, Juventus aim to re-establish dominance at the Allianz Stadium.

Stade Rennais travel to Italy following a high-octane week across all competitions. Rennes achieved a dramatic 2–1 comeback win over OFI Crete in UEFA Europa League action on Thursday, October 15, taking top positions in the league phase. On Sunday, October 18, Rennes were on the wrong side of a frantic 4–3 Ligue 1 clash against Paris FC, where forward Esteban Lepaul bagged a remarkable hat-trick of penalty goals (28', 73', 87'). Supported by playmakers Ludovic Blas, Przemysław Frankowski, and Esteban Lepaul, Rennes pack sufficient scoring firepower to challenge Juve's backline.
