Trabzonspor vs. Juventus: Date, Time, Live Stream, TV Info and Preview
Juventus are in a strong position to progress in the Europa League.
Already nine points clear at the top of Serie A, Antonio Conte's side look certain to win their third straight Scudetto, and can begin to take their foot off the gas and switch their attention to other matters.
The Europa League final is being held at their Juventus Stadium this season, giving them added incentive to reach it.

And with the option of changing players in a strong squad, as well as a two-goal advantage, Juve look a good bet to knock out Trabzonspor.
That said, Italian football expert James Horncastle believes continued participation in the Europa League could lead to Juventus tiring and their form in Serie A or Europa dropping as a result:

Preview
Juve's failure to thrive in the Champions League this season was something of a surprise; they exited the competition at the group stage.
After dominating the domestic game with ease, something which looks like it won't be stopping anytime soon, it was easy to predict Juventus focusing on Europe a bit more, but that didn't materialise.
Now, though, they look to be one of the strongest sides, if not the strongest in the Europa League, and are one of four Italian sides in the competition alongside Lazio, Fiorentina and Napoli.
Meanwhile, Trabzonspor, who lay seventh in the Turkish Super Lig and 15 points behind league leaders Fenerbahce, should not present too much of a problem if their domestic form is anything to go by.
As reported by Soccerway, Trabzonspor have not beaten a side from the Italian top flight since 1982. However, they are unbeaten in seven home games.
Their squad includes some recognisable names though, with former Champions League winners Florent Malouda and Jose Bosingwa and also former Tottenham midfielder Didier Zokora in their number.
Prediction
Juventus, even if they do make changes, will be confident they have enough to see out this victory and continue their European adventure.
The depth of talent at Conte's disposal is breathtaking, with Gianluigi Buffon, Paul Pogba, Carlos Tevez, Fernando Llorente, Andrea Pirlo and Arturo Vidal just some of the names in his star-studded squad.
It is the prospect of changes, though, that gives Trabzonspor a slim chance. Juve face AC Milan in Serie A this weekend, and if they are distracted by that fixture then there could yet be a way back for Hami Mandirali's side.
