With the host wrapped up the qualification and on top of the group table, Juventus boss is likely to make changes. Ronaldo and Paolo Dybala are likely to be rested in attack.
Rodrigo Bentancur and Weston McKennie are potentially to replace Adrien Rabiot and Arthur who are likely to receive a rest in midfield.
