Match background Juventus • The two-time winners finished third in their group last season and stepped across to the UEFA Europa League. They reached the semi-finals before losing to SL Benfica. • Under Antonio Conte, coach Massimiliano Allegri's predecessor, they were unbeaten at home in both competitions in 2013/14: W3 D4 L0. • Juventus's only previous meeting with a Swedish club came against Djurgårdens IF in the 2004/05 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round. They overturned a two-goal deficit in a 2-2 home draw before winning 4-1 at Råsundastadion. Gianluigi Buffon played for Juve, while Matias Concha was in the Djurgården side. Malmö • The 2013 Swedish champions won three qualifying ties to reach the group stage, beating FK Ventspils (1-0 on aggregate), AC Sparta Praha (4-4 on aggregate; away goals) and FC Salzburg (4-2 on aggregate). They are Sweden's first group stage representatives since Helsingborgs IF in 2000/01. • European Cup runners-up in 1979, Malmö last appeared in the competition proper in 1990/91. They reached the second round before losing on penalties to 1. FC Dynamo Dresden after two 1-1 draws. • Malmö's only previous experience of a UEFA competition group stage was in the 2011/12 UEFA Europa League. They finished bottom of their group after one draw and five defeats. • They last faced Serie A opponents when overcoming FC Internazionale Milano in the 1989/90 European Champion Clubs' Cup first round, winning 1-0 at home before a 1-1 away draw. • The Himmelsblått have visited Turin once before for a 2-1 defeat at Torino FC in the first round of the 1976/77 European Cup. Player links • As a player, Åge Hareide won 2-1 in Italy with Norway in a September 1985 friendly. As a coach, he has lost on all three previous visits: 1-0 at Parma FC with Helsingborg (1999/2000 UEFA Cup second round), 3-0 at Parma with Brøndby IF (2001/02 UEFA Cup third round) and 2-1 with Norway in a 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifier in September 2004. • In August 2010, Markus Rosenberg came off the bench to score the 93rd-minute goal that took SV Werder Bremen's UEFA Champions League play-off second leg at UC Sampdoria into extra time. The German side eventually won 5-4 on aggregate. • Rosenberg scored a late winner for Bremen in a 2-1 success over Inter in the 2008/09 UEFA Champions League group stage. The result took them into the UEFA Europa League, where they knocked out Andrea Pirlo's AC Milan in the round of 32. • Simon Thern was born in Naples during his father Jonas's days playing in Serie A for SSC Napoli and AS Roma. • Agon Mehmeti appeared three times in Serie A for US Città di Palermo in 2012/13. He then had a loan spell at Novara Calcio in Serie B, scoring six times in 22 outings. • Markus Halsti played against Patrice Evra and Paul Pogba in the Finland team beaten home and away by France in 2014 World Cup qualifying.

He was sent off in former club Udinese Calcio's UEFA Europa League play-off at FC Slovan Liberec in August 2013. • The last time Juventus won their first European group stage match was in 2008, a 1-0 home victory against FC Zenit; they have drawn all four since. • Álvaro Morata, fit after a knee problem, made his debut in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Udinese Calcio. • Carlos Tévez has gone 14 matches without a goal in the UEFA Champions League since scoring in Manchester United FC's 2-2 draw with FC Porto on 7 April 2009. 4 Juventus - Malmö FF Tuesday 16 September 2014 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Juventus Stadium, Turin • Massimiliano Allegri's side started their Serie A defence with a 1-0 victory at AC Chievo Verona, with Cristiano Biraghi's early own goal the difference between the sides. • Andrea Pirlo (hip) and Giorgio Chiellini (calf) have not featured this season. • Arturo Vidal has been ruled out with a right thigh injury sustained during the international break while on duty with Chile. • Andrea Barzagli is on the verge of a return to action following an Achilles problem. • Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci scored his third international goal as Italy kicked off UEFA EURO 2016 qualifying with a 2-0 win in Norway on 9 September. • Paul Pogba scored France's goal in their 1-1 friendly draw away to Serbia on 7 September.
