Juventus have already suffered the embarrassment of missing out on progress in the Champions League, now on Wednesday they host Lionel Messi, Neymar and friends and could be ripped apart by Paris St Germain. More details at www.soccer6.co.za.

M1 Shakhtar Donetsk vs RB Leipzig: Shakhtar must win in Warsaw, as they bid to overhaul their opponents to claim second place in Group F and reach the Champions League round of 16 for the first time in five seasons.

M2 Tigre vs Racing Club: Tigre and Racing meet to decide Argentina’s Champions Trophy title. They dew 3-3 in the league in July.

M3 America Mineiro vs Internacional: Internacional need a win to keep up their slim hopes of taking the Brazilian championship but if they slip it could hand Palmeiras the title.

M4 Norwich City vs Queens Park Rangers: Norwich are two points behind QPR in the Championship standings as both clubs emerge as early season frontrunners.

M5 Wigan Athletic vs Stoke City: Wigan have lost their past four games. Stoke are on a run of three successive defeats.

M6 AC Milan vs FC Salzburg: A decider at San Siro with both aiming to claim second place in Group E and a place in the Champions League knockout rounds. Milan have the advantage as they have seven points to Salzburg’s six, meaning a draw will be enough for them to finish second behind Chelsea while only victory will do for the Austrian champions.

M7 Chelsea vs Dinamo Zagreb: Chelsea have won 99 Champions League matches, group stage to final. Another victory would make them only the sixth club to reach the century. Dinamo have only been able to add a single point to the three they collected when they upset Chelsea in September.

M8 FC Copenhagen vs Borussia Dortmund: Dortmund have already book their berth in the Champions League while Copenhagen have yet to score in the group. The Danish club have lost all five previous home games against German opponents.

M9 Juventus vs Paris St Germain: Juventus will hope to salvage a Europa League spot against a Paris Saint-Germain side who have their sights set on first place in Champions League Group H and becoming the first French side ever to beat the Bianconeri in Italy.

M10 Maccabi Haifa vs Benfica: Maccabi Haifa will aim to conclude their first Champions League campaign in 13 years with another positive home result as they take on Benfica, who are already certain of a place in the round of 16 and are now aiming to win Group H.
