Juventus start Arturo Vidal, Andrea Pirlo and Alvaro Morata against Olympiacos in the Champions League.

The Bianconeri need a boost after their 1-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid, but the Spanish champions already lost here 3-2 this season.

Max Allegri is without Andrea Barzagli, Martin Caceres, Romulo and Luca Marrone.

Fernando Llorente has not scored yet this season and is struggling with a back problem, so he makes way for ex-Real Madrid striker Morata alongside Carlos Tevez.

Claudio Marchisio is dropped in favour of Vidal, who starts after he was rested for the 1-1 Serie A draw with Sassuolo on Saturday, and Pirlo.

Olympiacos are strong on home turf, having beaten Atletico Madrid here 3-2. That was a fourth consecutive Champions League home victory after Benfica, Anderlecht and Manchester United all fell here.

Jorge Benitez and Siovas were injury doubts going into this game for Coach Michel, but Ibrahima Afellay is surprisingly benched.

Juventus famously beat Olympiacos 7-0 in Turin in the 2003 Champions League group stage. Their record against the club on Greek soil is two wins and two draws.
