Real Madrid hope to join the other European giants atop the Champions League table as they host Serie A side Juventus at the Bernabeu on Wednesday in league phase play.
Los Blancos have secured two wins from two so far, and could find themselves alongside the likes of PSG, Arsenal, and Inter with a perfect record through three matches should they secure a victory this time around.
Juventus, meanwhile, are in a terrible run of form, as head coach Igor Tudor finds himself under pressure having failed to win any of their last four domestic games, the latest blow being a defeat in gorgeous Como on the weekend.
The Old Lady have also have just two points from their first two Champions League games and are already feeling the head down near the cut line in the league phase standings.

Real Madrid vs. Juventus live updates, highlights from Champions League
2 hours to kickoff: Xabi Alonso seems to have already solved the issue plaguing the Real Madrid attack upon his arrival, but there is another tactical question to answer now that he has a more fit midfield to select from.
With Jude Bellingham back in the side, the Real Madrid boss has to figure out what to do with Arda Guler and Franco Mastantuono, who were both in good form during Bellingham's early-season absence. Guler flourished in the No. 10 role while Bellingham was out, and sticking him out wide at the expense of Mastantuono feels like borrowing from Peter to pay Paul.
How will he manage to fit the pieces together today?
🚨 Franco Mastantuono has only been on the bench for 3 of 10 Real Madrid games this season.
There's an ongoing competition he's having with Bellingham and Guler for a role in the starting XI.
So far, he's had a very good impact on the team in the matches he's played. pic.twitter.com/vgB5HzFxCc

Real Madrid vs. Juventus lineups, team news
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen and Dani Carvajal are expected back to full fitness by the end of the month but Antonio Rudiger is out until mid-December.
Federico Valverde will continue at right-back, but David Alaba is unlikely to start two games back-to-back, so Raul Asencio should partner Eder Militao.
Alonso spoke glowingly of Arda Guler in the build-up, and he is expected to start alongside Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior in attack in support of Kylian Mbappe, although Franco Mastantuono could also be retained.
Real Madrid projected starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Courtois (GK) — Valverde, Militao, Asencio, Carreras — Camavinga, Tchouameni — Guler, Bellingham, Vinicius Junior — Mbappe.
