Rory MarsdenSep 29, 2015

The 2015-16 Champions League is still in its infancy, but there are already various teams who need to turn around their fortunes in the competition.

Wednesday sees the completion of the second round of matches in the group stage and Manchester United desperately need a home win against Wolfsburg after losing their first match to PSV Eindhoven.

Similarly, Manchester City need to get some points on the board against Borussia Monchengladbach after their opening loss to Juventus, while the Old Lady will look to pick up another win against Sevilla.

United Need a Victory

The Red Devils made an inauspicious return to the Champions League after a year away as they lost 2-1 to PSV, and also lost Luke Shaw to a long-term injury.

United can't afford a repeat on Wednesday in their first home match of the 2015-16 competition against Bundesliga side Wolfsburg.

Old Trafford is likely to be buzzing for the return of Champions League football and United should certainly have the edge with home advantage.

United come into the European clash in terrific form domestically—they are currently top of the Premier League—while Wolfsburg have had less good fortune recently after a decent start to the Bundesliga season.

They followed up their 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Bayern Munich—specifically Robert Lewandowski—with a 1-1 home draw with Hannover 96 on Saturday.

In Julian Draxler, Wolfsburg have found a fine replacement for last season's star man Kevin De Bruyne and the threat of Andre Schurrle will be obvious to United from his time at Chelsea.

Bastian Schweinsteiger could be the key man for the Red Devils given his prior knowledge of Wolfsburg from his time at Bayern, and the German has been in terrific form of late, per the Manchester Evening News' Samuel Luckhurst:

The pressure is on United after their opening loss—Wolfsburg beat CSKA Moscow in their first group game—but they should have the edge on the night.

It is essential to win home games in the Champions League group stages to increase the chances of qualification to the knockout stage and United should get their first three points at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

Juventus Look Again to Europe to Find Form

Domestically, Juventus are having a shocker. The Serie A champions have lost three times already this season in the Italian top flight—most recently to Napoli on Saturday—and currently lie 15th.

However, in their only Champions League game this season they beat an in-form Manchester City side 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium.

Wednesday sees them host Europa League champions Sevilla and manager Massimiliano Allegri will be looking for his side to find their European form once again.

Sevilla have had a remarkably similar time of it in La Liga—losing three times—and they also won their opening group game 3-0 against Borussia Monchengladbach.

Juventus' experience should see them to victory, as will the confidence they gained from beating City last time out.

The Italians made it to the final in 2014-15, and the quality they have in their squad outweighs Sevilla's options.

Former Juve striker Ciro Immobile will return to the Old Lady with Sevilla—although Fernando Llorente has been ruled out, per Goal.com's Tom Downey—but he faces a tough task to go back to Spain with a win.

Juventus have been awful domestically, but their European fortunes should continue.
