Juventus are still seeking their first Champions League win of the season, but rotate the squad away to Bodo/Glimt with Lois Openda, Francisco Conceicao and Fabio Miretti.
It kicks off at the Aspmyra Stadion in Bodo, Norway, at 20.00 GMT.
You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game and Napoli-Qarabag on the Liveblog.
The Bianconeri are yet to win a single match in the Champions League so far this season, managing three draws and a defeat to Real Madrid.
Their form hasn’t picked up since sacking Igor Tudor, as Luciano Spalletti has drawn his last three games in all competition.
Federico Gatti was ruled out by flu symptoms, joining the injured Gleison Bremer, Daniele Rugani and Carlo Pinsoglio.
There is massive squad rotation, with Kenan Yildiz, Dusan Vlahovic and goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio among those rested.
Francisco Conceicao and surprisingly Miretti are the support for striker Openda, as Jonathan David is again benched.
Teun Koopmeiners retains his place in the back three and Weston McKennie appears to be wide midfield.
The conditions are notoriously difficult when visiting Bodo/Glimt, partly for the cold of Norway, but also the fact they play on an artificial pitch.
This is where many teams have come unstuck in the past, most notably Roma in a 6-1 defeat, not to mention Italy’s recent losses to Norway.
They already held Tottenham to a 2-2 draw here this season and thrashed Sturm Graz 5-0 in the play-offs.
So far this term, they played a pair of 2-2 draws with Slavia Prague and Tottenham, losing 3-1 away to Galatasaray and 1-0 to Monaco.
Defender Jostein Gundersen is suspended and Haitam Aleesami injured, with former AC Milan winger Jens Petter Hauge not at 100 per cent due to illness.
