International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Juventus and Maccabi Haifa are looking forward to this Champions League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.

Maccabi Haifa have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

It's no vacation for neither Juventus nor Maccabi Haifa as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Juventus form and stats

Last season, Juventus's Champions League journey ended in the 8th finals against Villarreal.

3 victories, 2 draws and 0 defeats. That’s what Juventus have to build on here at Allianz Stadium in the Serie A.

Heartbreak before that as Juventus lost 0-1 at Monza's place.

Maccabi Haifa form and stats

They also participated in Champions League last season. This ended in the 1st qualifying round, when Kairat drew the shortest straw.

Maccabi Haifa have six points from their first three away games in the Ligat ha'Al, meaning two victories and a loss. When we have look at the Champions League statistics, we find 3W-2D-3L. This is both home and away.

David (2) scored in Maccabi Haifa's previous match, the home game against Maccabi Tel Aviv that ended 2-0.

A 0-3 defeat away at Hapoel Katamon before that.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Maccabi Haifa manager Bakhar as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Maccabi Bnei Raina.

4 goals have been conceded by Maccabi in these games.

Head 2 Head
