Juventus vs Maccabi Haifa: How to watch on TV live stream, team news, lineups & prediction
By Mitch Wilks
Juventus return to European action on Wednesday night when they host Maccabi Haifa in the Champions League group stages.
The Old Lady are still looking for their first points of the group stage campaign having lost each of their opening two fixtures, but got back to winning ways over the weekend with a convincing 3-0 victory over Bologna in Serie A.
Maccabi sit bottom of Group H on goal difference having also lost their opening two games, meaning the points up for grabs on Wednesday are absolutely vital if someone can come away with all three.

Juventus vs Maccabi Haifa score prediction
It's been an absolute nightmare start to the European campaign for Juventus, who have also stuttered domestically and desperately need to find some consistent form. However, a 3-0 victory and a clean sheet heading into this one should do them the world of good.
Maccabi will be no pushovers and will smell blood against a very fragile Juve outfit, but they'll need a lot more than that to get anything from the contest. Quality and the need for three points will get them over the line.
Prediction: Juventus 2-0 Maccabi Haifa
