A heavy 5-1 loss to Bayern München on Matchday 2 remains Pafos' only defeat in 11 Champions League fixtures this season. In addition, they have proven stubborn opponents, drawing three of their five league-phase matches. Their first win at this level – a 1-0 home victory over Villarreal on Matchday 4 – was a historic result for Cypriot football, ending a 13-year wait for a group-stage win by a club from the country. Pafos have also shown resilience away from home, earning goalless draws at Olympiacos and Kairat Almaty. The Greek outfit will be looking to cause some problems for the Old Lady when they make the trip to Turin. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Anderson Silva in attack is expected against Juventus. João Correia is suspended for this fixture.
