On Tuesday, Juventus visits the Belgian club Bruges as part of the seventh matchday of the Champions League, which features a new format. The match will take place at 5 PM Argentina time at the Jan Breydel Stadium and will be broadcasted on ESPN and Disney+.
The Italian team arrives at this qualifying stage one point above their Belgian rival. The probable line-ups are as follows:
Brugge: Simon Mignolet, Maxim de Cuyper, Joel Ordóñez, Brandon Mechele, Kyriani Sabbe, Andreas Skov Olsen, Ardon Jashari, Casper Nielsen, Romeo Vermant, Christos Tzolis, Hans Vanaken.
Juventus: Perin; Savona, Kyatengwa, Gatti, Cambiaso; McKennie, Fagioli; Conceição, Koopmeiners, Yildiz; Vlahovic.
The match can be watched in Argentina through ESPN and Disney+. Starting from this edition, there will be 36 teams playing in a league phase where everyone will face each other in eight matches. The top eight teams will advance directly to the round of 16, while teams ranked ninth to twenty-fourth will compete in play-offs to determine the last eight qualifiers.
Teams finishing below 25th place will be eliminated without the option to play in the Europa League as had happened in previous editions. In addition to television broadcasting, the match can also be followed through digital platforms like Flow, Directv Go, and Telecentro Play.
In this edition, UEFA introduced changes to the Champions League format, moving away from the 32 participants divided into eight groups of four.
