10 Dec
Summary
- Juventus sits 22nd in the League Phase with six points after five European matches.
- Pafos, top of their domestic league, also have six points from five Champions League games.
- Pafos has scored three of their four goals from corners, more than any other side.
The Juventus Men's First Team is set to resume their European campaign by hosting Cypriot outfit Pafos at the Allianz Stadium. Following five European fixtures, Juventus occupies the 22nd position in the League Phase standings, having accumulated six points. Their opponents, Pafos, who lead their domestic league, have also secured six points from their five Champions League matches to date.
This encounter presents a notable rarity, being only the third time an Italian club faces a Cypriot opponent in the European Cup or Champions League. Pafos brings a formidable set-piece threat, with three of their four goals in the competition originating from corners, a statistic unmatched by any other team. Conversely, Juventus' Manuel Locatelli has been recognized for his precise line-breaking passes.
Pafos has limited prior experience against Italian opposition, having previously lost 3-2 away to Fiorentina in the Conference League in November 2024. The match is scheduled for Wednesday night with a 21:00 CET kick-off in Turin, promising an intriguing contest as Juventus aims to improve their standing.
