Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Fiorentina, Juventus will look to kick-off their Europa League campaign in style when they host Nantes to their Allianz Stadium on Thursday evening.
The Bianconeri have been producing fine displays of late, and, as a result, the bookies see them as hot favourites to win the first leg.
Leonardo Bonucci is a major doubt, while all Pogba, Milik, Miretti, and Cuadrado miss out with injuries.
Les Canaris, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Ajaccio (2-0) and Lorient (1-0), but Juve will pose a much bigger threat for the Ligue 1 outfit than their previous rivals.
In their last meeting in Turin, back in 1996 Juventus defeated Nantes 2-0, and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
To make things even worse for the visiting side, important defender Jean-Charles Castelletto limped off with injury in the last league match.
