Preview
Malmo reached the UCL finals after they beat Ludogorets Razgrad in their final qualifying match 3-2 on aggregate while Juventus finished 4th in the Serie A last season, which ensured a spot in the European tournament.
The Swedish side head into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw against Norrkoping where Nalic and Adegbenro scored for either side to finish with a point a piece.
This took Malmo to 4th in the table with 34 points from 18 matches.
On the other hand, Juventus is yet to win a match in the Serie A this season which puts Allegri under pressure to start off well in Europe.
A 2-1 loss to Napoli on Saturday did not help his cause as Juventus stayed in the bottom half of the table after 3 matches with just a sole point to their name.
Morata broke the deadlock for the Bienconeri but Politano and Koulibaly’s second half goals ensured a comeback win for Napoli.

Prediction: Malmo 0-2 Juventus
We expect Juventus to return to winning ways in this one as they pose a number of quality and experienced players.
