Juventus will look to send Chelsea out of the Champions League by picking up the necessary point against Shakhtar Donetsk in a crucial Group E game.
Shakhtar have already qualified to the pre-quarterfinals, with Juve favorites to join them, needing just a draw in the final game.
Chelsea, who play Nordsjaelland, must win while hoping Juve crash to Shakhtar, if they are to stand a chance of making the next stage.
"I think we have been improving from game to game, so I am very optimistic about the match in Donetsk," Juventus assistan manager Angelo Alessio said. "We should concentrate from the start, stay focused and fight for every ball.
"Control of the ball will be crucial, as we need to press them and not allow them to play the football they want to play. Our actions during the opening minutes will be very important.
"What do I think about the student-professor metaphor used by Lucescu? Well, he's very smart and a clever person, so maybe the Shakhtar coach deliberately talked down the strengths of his own side. I don't think Shakhtar will look like a student tomorrow (Wednesday).
"It's always difficult to predict the final result. There are a lot of possibilities and different scenarios but we'll push it all the way."
Shakhtar manager Mircea Lucescu admitted to being proud about having already qualified while two of the biggest clubs in Europe fight for the other place. "It is an extraordinary situation -- two big clubs like Chelsea and Juventus are depending on our result, since Shakhtar are top of the group," he said. "What could be better than this? All of us -- the president, coaches, players, club and supporters -- are very proud.
"I am not thinking about Chelsea, because all my thoughts are on Juventus. This term, only two teams have been good enough to defeat Juve -- Inter and Milan. Our opponents have huge motivation as they cannot afford to lose, but we want to win anyway.
"This game is like a very important exam, if you can imagine Shakhtar as a student whose goal is to get into higher education. As for Juventus, given their history, traditions and squad, you could compare them to a wise professor from the Academy of Sciences."
Simone Pepe, Lucio and Nicklas Bendtner are out for Juventus through injury, while Giorgio Chiellini is doubtful.
Dmytro Chygrynskiy and Tomas Hubschman are missing for Shakhtar, while forward Luiz Adriano is suspended.
