Juventus will bring the curtain down on their Champions League humiliation when they welcome Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.

The Serie A giants have had a wretched campaign and have already been eliminated, leaving them attempting to hold off Maccabi Haifa for a spot in the Europa League.

PSG, meanwhile, have qualified for the knockout stage although they are vying with Benfica for top spot in the group, so they are unlikely to show Juve any mercy at all in Turin.

Juventus team news

It has been confirmed Paul Pogba will now miss the World Cup due to injury, which obviously comes as a fresh blow to Juventus as well as France.

Dusan Vlahovic is also missing for Juve due to an adductor problem and Weston McKennie and Matia Soule are unavailable too.

With Marley Ake, Leandro Paredes, Angel Di Maria, Gleison Bremer, Mattia De Sciglio, Federico Chiesa, Samuel Iling-Junior and Kaio Jorge all missing as well, a suspension for Danilo has come at the worst possible time for the Old Lady.

Manuel Locatelli is available again, though.

Juventus Starting XI (3-5-2): Szczesny; Bonucci, Gatti, Sandro; Cuadrado, Rabiot, Locatelli, Miretti, Kostic; Kean, Milik
Bench: Pinsoglio, Rugani, Perin, Fagioli, Soule


PSG team news

In stark contrast to the home side, PSG have a clean bill of health as they head to Turin, meaning Christophe Galtier may opt to rotate his side.

Marco Verratti is available again after suspension, but Neymar is banned after he picked up his third booking in the competition last week.

Juventus vs PSG score prediction

An in-form and fully fit Juventus would have their work cut out dealing with PSG right now, so it's hard to hold out much hope for them when they can't buy a win in Europe and can barely cobble a bench together due to injuries.

PSG, meanwhile, look like they are really in the mood and Lionel Messi is in especially fabulous form. They shouldn't struggle for motivation either given they are still to secure top spot in the group.

Prediction: Juventus 0-3 PSG
