The ball sails miles over the bar as the hosts resort to pot-shots from range. They know this game is done, and it's a dead-rubber match to them anyway. No signs of a comeback here.
89'
F. Bernardeschi has scored a goal for Juventus! Assist by S. Khedira.
GOAL! This time there was no stopping him! Bernadeschi has made quit an impact in his short time on the pitch, and he's fed out on the reight again before gliding in onto his left and firing an unstoppable effort that flies right into the far corner! Great goal and that's surely the game wrapped up at 2-0 for Juventus!
It was a nice move in the build-up to the goal, but Bernadeschi still had a lot to do when Khedira fed the ball through to him on the right flank, and he did it superbly!
87'
SAVE! Substitute Bernadeschi cuts in from the right onto his favoured left foot and fires a swerving effort back towards the near post, but Proto gets across excellently to keep the score at 1-0 and keep his side in the game!
86'
Costa is found inside the box on the left, but instead of looking for a team-mate he blasts one high and wide of the near post. Awful effort and a poor, poor decision.
84'
F. Bernardeschi enters the game and replaces J. Cuadrado.
The goalscorer - Cuadrado - is replaced for the last few minutes by Bernadeschi on the right wing.
82'
POST! Koutris whips the ball in from the left, and it evades Marin, who attempts a back-heeled flick, but it comes through to Nabouhane, whose diving header under pressure comes back out off the bar and then the post! Incredible!
81'
The ball is worked well from left to right for Juve, and Cuadrado has a hit at Higuain's lay-off, but it's straight down Proto's throat and he can catch comfortably.
80'
Matuidi's cross is a little too deep, but Juve keep the ball. However, the return ball back to the Frenchman is also too heavy, and it runs out for a goal kick.
78'
Sandro whips in a lovely ball, but it's just a little too high for Higuain and the hosts regain possession.
76'
The home side are seeing a fair bit of the ball at the moment, but they just lack that penetration at the end of it to get themselves back on level terms.
Minute
Description
73'
Three stand over a free-kick for the hosts, but it's straight into the wall and the follow-up is well, well wide. Khedira - who took the ball flush in the face - stays down for a moment to recover.
71'
E. Fardou Ben Mohamed enters the game and replaces U. Đurđević.
Djurdjevic is hooked for Nabouhane up top as Olypiacos desperately try and find a way back into the game.
70'
D. Rugani enters the game and replaces A. Barzagli.
Olympiacos win the ball in their own half and counter-attack at pace. They make it all the way down the right, but Pardo's first touch in the box is a heavy one and it runs out of play for a goal kick. Such a waste of an opportunity.
In a somewhat odd substitution, Barzagli is replaced by Rugani at the heart of defence. He didn't appear to be injured, so perhaps Allegri just wants to give his young charge some game time.
68'
What appears ti be a clear foul on an Olympiacos player is not given, and Juventus very nearly break through an score, but Costa is dispossessed as he tries to jink his way into a shooting position.
66'
Pjanic lunges into a tackle, and looks initially like he won the ball, but replays show he just took the man first. Good officiating to award the free-kick.
62'
K. Fortounis enters the game and replaces V. Odjidja-Ofoe.
M. Pjanić enters the game and replaces P. Dybala.
Odjidja-Ofoe comes off for Fortounis in midfield as the hosts look to freshen things up.
Dybala is also taken off for Pjanić. He's had a good game, but the Bosnian provides a little more defensive security without sacrificing creativity in that attacking midfield role.
59'
Olympiacos are certainly pushing harder at the start of this second half. They win a corner and have shown a great deal more intent and desire so far. Marin whips the corner in, and Matuidi somehow hooks it away when it looked certain to have fallen kindly for a red and white shirt!
58'
SAVE! Szczesny is called into action again! Having made a poor clearance under pressure, he has to rush out to deny and onrushing attacker, and gets it away before hanging onto the rebound.
57'
SAVE! Szczesny holds a low cross very firmly at his near post. Having earlier produced a lovely dummy to fool an onrushing striker, he showed he can do the basics well too.
55'
D. Nikolaou gets yellow.
Higuain tries to flick the ball past Nikolaou, who is the last man, and it comes off the defender's elbow! There's definitely a little flick of the arm towards it, but he gets away with a yellow card and nothing more.
53'
There's a clash of legs and Benatia goes down in a heap. He's taken off the pitch for treatment, but looks like he will be okay to resume play shortly.
51'
Cuadrado slips the ball in behind for Dybala, but Proto is out quickly off his line, and the flag is raised for offside in any case.
49'
M. Benatia gets yellow.
Benatia goes into the book for a cynical foul, pulling Djurdjevic back as Olympiacos looked set to break away. The striker really should have played that ball through much earlier, though.
48'
And Marin's first involvement since coming on is to join the list of Olympiacos players to foul Dybala, just catching him as the forward jinked away.
46'
M. Marin enters the game and replaces Sebá.
Seba comes off as a half-time substitution is made, with former Chelsea man Marin coming on in his place.
And the hosts get us back underway at the start of the second half!
45'
Dybala does really well again to win a free-kick when his side are uner pressure. Dropping deep this time, he wins the ball and holds it well, forcing a foul as he keeps his body between man and ball. That looks like it will be half-time.
43'
U. Đurđević gets yellow.
Djurdjevic goes into the book for a combination of grappling and handling the ball. A silly way to get yourself booked in all honesty.
42'
SAVE! What a fantastic save by Szczesny! An Olympiacos corner from the right is flicked on to Djurdjevic at the back post, and his downward header looks certain to find the net for the equaliser, but the Polish shot-stopper is there to make a stunning reflex save with his feet at close range!
41'
CHANCE! Olympiacos get a break through Odjija, but his final cross is poor and there's only one man to aim for in the box anyway.
39'
When they're on the ball, Juventus are almost playing 4-4-2 at times, with Dybala pushing up in support of Higuain in attack. He's been deployed as a no. 10, but he has that striker's instinct about him.
37'
CHANCE! Dybala finds a little pocket of space inside the box and manages to find Higuain. The striker turns and shoots, but it's a rushed effort and it's deflected wide for a corner.
35'
Costa comes off his flank and creates some space, before feeding De Sciglio on the right. The full-back's cross is a good one, but the Olympiacos centre-backs are equal to it and manage to clear it away.
32'
L. Koútris gets yellow.
Koutris goes in recklessly and late on Cuadrado - who is surging forward into space - and takes great issue with the linesman for flagging up a foul. It doesn't help his cause, as the referee brandishes a yellow card and a stern warning to the defender.
30'
Juventus twice come close to unlocking their hosts' defence for a second, as Cuadrado gives the ball away after beating his man well, before Higuain just can't bring the ball under his spell in the box and loses possession.
28'
Costa pounces on some sloppy play and drives the ball into the box, but he delays his final pass just a little too long as he twists and turns on the left, and eventually has to settle for a corner.
27'
Dybala tries to break forward, but he's outmuscled and Olympiacos win the ball back.
26'
Olympiacos show some desire of their own, as Seba goes shoulder-to-shoulder with De Sciglio in the box and wins a corner.
25'
CHANCE! Higuain dinks the ball through a crowd for Cuadrado to get his second, but the keeper is there first and smothers the chance.
21'
Having demonstrated his attacking prowess, Sandro then displays his defensive nous, ushering Odjija out of play with good strength and clever defending, giving away neither a free-kick nor a corner.
19'
Juventus know that this result sees them through to the knockout stages, and have taken their foot off the gas a little. The hosts have a spell of possession, but they can't break the Italian side down, and eventually give away a free-kick in the corner that relieves their pressure.
15'
J. Cuadrado has scored a goal for Juventus! Assist by Alex Sandro.
GOAL! Juventus break the deadlock and they made it look simple! Sandro is released in acres down the wing, and the left-back makes it to the byline before fizzing the ball back across goal for Cuadrado to tap into an empty net from inside the six-yard box! It's 1-0 to the visitors!
Sandro showcased his attacking qualities there, getting forward with real pace and intent, and showing compsure to hit the ball into the right area for a simple tap-in. Simple, but effective.
12'
Elabdellaoui has a pop at goal from outside the area, and it dips awkwardly as it reaches Szczesny, who fumbles the initial save, before gathering at the second attempt.
10'
Dybala gets his side out of a tight spot as he just gets his body in-between man and ball and cleverly wins a free-kick to relieve the Olympiacos pressure.
7'
CHANCE! Dybala's goal-drought in the Champions League this season continues, but it's certainly not for the want of trying. De Sciglio slips the Argentine in wonderfully down the right-hand side of the box, and he cuts inside his man with ease before going for the far corner. His finish is a little scuffed, and perhaps that just about allowed Proto to get a hand to it and tip it round the post for a corner!
5'
Olympiacos do well to win a corner, but the delivery is, frankly, awful and Juventus are comfortable despite making a bit of a mess of clearing.
3'
Cuadrado and Seba have something of a coming-together on the Juventus right as they compete for a 50-50 ball. The Colombian seems to come off worse, but they're both okay and can continue.
1'
And we're off in Greece! Juventus get the ball rolling at the start of the first half.
It's a hectic opening minute! Szczesny has to be quick off his line to gather as a clearance comes straight back off a defender and towards him, before a promising Juventus attack down the left is halted after a couple of misplaced passes.
Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Champions League group stage fixture between Olympiacos and Juventus at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium.
The line-ups are out, and we'll start with the home team.
Olympiacos are winless in the last three Champions League home games, and have lost five of their seven encounters with Juventus in the competition, although their last encounter in Piraeus ended in a 1-0 win for the Greek side.
In fact, Olympiacos have lost six of their last seven Champions League games - drawing the other - conceding at least two goals in each of those six defeats. However, they are not the type of side to set up for a point, having drawn just two of their last 40 fixtures in the competition.
The reigning Italian champions - Juventus - are yet to register an away win in the Champions League so far this season. However, the only two games they have lost in their last 18 in Europe have been last year's final against Real Madrid and their opening game against Barcelona this season.
The Turin club still have to fight for second place in the group tonight - they need to at least match Sporting's result against Barcelona - who are guaranteed to finish top - in order to progress to the knockout stages. Olympiacos will finish bottom regardless of the night's results.
Expect late drama tonight, as four of Juventus’ five Champions League goals this season have come after the 69th minute, while the hosts have only scored after the 85-minute mark. Paulo Dybala will be desperate to get on the scoresheet - regardless of when - as he has had 25 shots without scoring in Europe's premier competition so far - more than any other player.
Juventus rest a number of key names in tonight's game, including Gianluigi Buffon, Georgio Chiellini, and Miralem Pjanic, among others. The aforementioned trio, along with Kwadwo Asamoah, are replaced after the club's last game - a 1-0 win over title-chasing Napoli in Serie A. They are replaced by former Arsenal man Wojciech Szczesny in goal, along with Andrea Barzagli, Juan Cuadrado, and Alex Sandro, respectively.
And there's no stoppage time as the half-time whistle goes! Juventus went ahead after 15 minutes as Sandro's run to the byline and cross found Cuadrado waiting to tap in from six yards out. Olympiacos struggled to create anything clear-cut, aside from one Djurdjevic chance which was brilliantly kept out by deputy keeper Szczesny, making a reflex save with his feet from close range as the striker headed down powerfully. As it stands, the Italians are going through to the knockout stages via a second-place finish. It's 1-0 to Juventus at the break!
And there goes the full-time whistle! Cuadrado's early strike following good work from Sandro gave Juventus the lead, and while Szczesny was forced into a couple of good saves, the hosts never quite looked like turning the game around. Bernadeschi's introduction gave Juventus the spark they needed, and his lovely finish into the far corner gave them the cushion they needed to make the last few minutes more comfortable. It finishes 2-0 to Juve here, and the Italians qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League, while Sporting drop into the Europa League.
