Driven by Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid will be looking to continue its perfect start in the Champions League when it hosts struggling Juventus on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Mbappe has 18 goals in 14 appearances with Madrid and France this season. He has scored five goals overall in Madrid\u2019s two Champions League matches.<\/p>\n
Juventus drew both its matches in Europe and hasn\u2019t won since Sept. 13. It lost 2-0 at Como at the weekend and coach Igor Tudor is very much under pressure.<\/p>\n
Another team which is enjoying a perfect start is \u2014 somewhat surprisingly \u2014 Qarabag.<\/p>\n
Qarabag had never won in the competition proper before but the team from Azerbaijan will go for three in a row when it visits winless Athletic Bilbao.<\/p>\n
Liverpool is on a four-game losing streak that includes Sunday\u2019s home defeat against Manchester United in the Premier League and will try to rebound in the Champions League when it visits Eintracht Frankfurt. Among Liverpool\u2019s recent setbacks was a loss at Galatasaray in its second league-phase match.<\/p>\n
Also, Chelsea hosts Ajax, and Tottenham travels to Monaco.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
