Official line-ups announced for Juventus-Pafos: Spalletti opts for an offensive eleven with Yildiz and David, while Carcedo presents a compact Pafos ready to strike on the counterattack.

Just minutes before kickoff, Juventus and Pafos have communicated their final choices for today's European clash. Spalletti confirms the offensive setup tested during the week, relying on the talent of Yildiz and the physicality of Jonathan David to break through the Cypriot defense. Juventus lines up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Di Gregorio in goal and a defensive line composed of Kalulu, Kelly, and Koopmeiners, the latter confirmed in the role of a set-up defender.

In midfield, there's room for the dynamism of McKennie and Locatelli, with Miretti and Cambiaso on the flanks to provide width and support to the play. Up front, alongside Yildiz, there will be Zhegrova, tasked with creating numerical superiority and supplying David.

Pafos responds with an orderly yet ambitious 4-2-3-1. Michail defends the goal, while the backline consists of Bruno, Luckassen, David Luiz, and Goldar. In midfield, Sunjic and Pepe are tasked with containing the Juventus play. In the attacking midfield, Correia, Dragomir, and Orsic play to support Anderson Silva, the sole striker but capable of deep attacks.

JUVENTUS (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio, Kalulu, Kelly, Koopmeiners, McKennie, Locatelli, Miretti, Cambiaso, Zhegrova, Yildiz, David. Coach: Spalletti

PAFOS (4-2-3-1): Michail, Bruno, Luckassen, David Luiz, Goldar, Sunjic, Pepe, Correia, Dragomir, Orsic, Anderson Silva. Coach: Carcedo

Juventus is the favorite, but Pafos has repeatedly shown they can hold their own against teams superior on paper. A match not to be underestimated.
