Juventus vs. FC Copenhagen: Date, Time, Live Stream, TV Info and Preview

Real Madrid will punch their ticket to the next round of the Champions League barring a meltdown of monumental proportions over the next two matches. That leaves three clubs, including Juventus and Copenhagen, to battle for the other spot available out of Group B.

Juventus are displaying good form in league play, recently taking over the Serie A lead from Roma. Yet, for whatever season, they haven't been able to replicate that success in the Champions League with three draws and a loss in four matches.

Despite those struggles by the Vecchia Signora, Copenhagen face an uphill battle if they are going to advance. After traveling to Italy for the matchup with Juventus, they finish group play by facing off with Real Madrid, one of the tournament's top contenders.

With that in mind, here's a look at all the key information for the UCL clash, followed by an examination of the top storyline and a match prediction.

Top Storyline: Can Juventus Overcome Slow Start to Advance from Group B?

Copenhagen's game plan heading into the match should be pretty straightforward. The Danish club is going to defend and counterattack with hopes of securing at least a draw to at least give itself a chance heading into the final match against Real, which should have little to play for at that point.

For Juventus, that's good news because it means they should be able to control possession and pace while spending a lot of time in the attacking half of the field. It's also worrisome, however, because it's going to take a concerted effort to break down the defensive wall, an arduous task for a frustrated squad.

It puts the onus on the Vecchia Signora midfield, which is led by Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal and Paul Pogba, to push forward aggressively. It must find a way to create chances for Fernando Llorente and Carlos Tevez early.

One quick goal would change the entire complexion of the match. It would force Copenhagen to come out of their defensive shell and open up more passing lanes in the final third for Juventus, at which point they could totally take control.

Juventus plays the other two clubs in direct competition for the other berth out of Group B over the next two matches. So they control their own destiny, and their league form suggests they should bounce back from a sluggish start in UCL play, but the margin for error is slim.

Prediction

The most important positive sign for Copenhagen is the fact that all of the pressure is on Juventus. So if they can build that defensive wall and keep the Vecchia Signora at bay for a while, the pressure will mount and the Serie A side will be forced to take more chances, opening up the counterattacks.

Yet, it's hard to imagine Juventus letting the opportunity slip away. They didn't get off to an ideal start in the Champions League, but two strong performances can push them into the next round and they can begin with a clean slate for the knockout rounds. They will take the first step on Wednesday.
