Juventus are hoping to maintain their formidable home record in Europe when they host Bayern Munich.

Ciro Ferrara's men are undefeated in their last 16 encounters in European competition in Turin and need only a point to join Bordeaux to the knockout phase of the Champions League.

The Bianconeri are second in Group A, one point clear of Bayern, who need a win to have any chance of reaching the last 16.

Juve, who held Bayern to a goalless draw in Munich on September 30, go into the match at the Stadio Olimpico in buoyant mood having beaten Serie A leaders Inter Milan 2-1 on Saturday.

The outcome allowed the Bianconeri to cut the deficit with Inter to five points.

"With respect to our previous two games, we have shown an improvement in character and determination," said Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio, who struck the winner against the Nerazzurri.

"We have to continue where we left off against Inter and give continuity to our results.

"We complicated our lives in our defeat to Bordeaux 10 days ago and now we must play a great game against Bayern.

"We not only want to qualify to the knockout stages but give continuity to our performances.

"We are on the right path after our win against Inter."

The hosts will be without injured striker Vincenzo Iaquinta but French forward David Trezeguet has recovered from a thigh injury that saw him miss his team's last two encounters.
