Team News
Juventus
Juventus continue to be plagued by injury problems this season, as not only do the Bianconeri have long-term absentees Paul Pogba and Federico Chiesa still sidelined, but Manuel Locatelli, Adrien Rabiot, Angel Di Maria and Wojciech Szczesny all missed out at the weekend too.

Mattia Perin should continue to deputise for the latter in goal, while teenager Fabio Miretti could keep his place alongside recent arrival Leandro Paredes in central midfield.

Both Juan Cuadrado and Arkadiusz Milik, though, will be available, as their suspensions for being dismissed on Sunday only apply in Serie A; it remains to be seen whether Max Allegri will partner Milik with Dusan Vlahovic up front or opt for a front three instead.

The latter choice would feature left-winger Filip Kostic, who has been involved in five goals in his last five European appearances, after providing an assist on his Champions League debut at the Parc des Princes
Juventus possible starting lineup:
Perin; Danilo, Bonucci, Bremer, Sandro; Miretti, Paredes, McKennie; Cuadrado, Vlahovic, Kostic

Benfica
Benfica will have Joao Mario and nine-goal top scorer Goncalo Ramos back at their disposal after serving bans against Famalicao at the weekend.

Both should start for the visitors, with Julian Draxler - who made his debut on Saturday - competing with David Neres to join Rafa Silva in the supporting cast for Ramos up front.

Roger Schmidt will be without defensive trio Joao Victor, Lucas Verissimo and Morato due to injury, but full-back Alex Grimaldo will feature at the back; he has been involved in four goals in his last four Champions League games.
Benfica possible starting lineup:
Vlachodimos; Gilberto, Otamendi, A. Silva, Grimaldo; Fernandez, Luis; Draxler, R. Silva, Mario; Ramos
Prediction: Juventus 1-1 Benfica
