Juventus will arrive in Israel only tonight.
She held her morning training at the training facility in Turin so that the players arrive in Haifa only to eat dinner, sleep and make the final preparations for the game at the hotel.
In fact, the Italians will arrive at the hotel less than 24 hours before the opening whistle and this is reminiscent of PSG's arrival in the Holy Land in its game in the city of Carmel.
The Italian media are mainly concerned with the future of coach Massimiliano Allegri, but all the journalists who came to Haifa are convinced that even a loss to Sami Ofer will not send him home.

"Juve wants to get to November before the World Cup break and make the decisions there," explains journalist Manuela Gamba, who covers the old lady for 'La Repubblica'.
"Allegri respects Maccabi Haifa a lot. He said that at the press conference but it's really true. We saw Maccabi last week and they are a very good team."
"A beautiful story that will illustrate how much respect Haifa has in this house is Joao Mario's interview before Juve's game against Benfica. He said that in his opinion Maccabi Haifa could finish in third or second place. We didn't understand him then, now we understand."
Even tomorrow at Sami Ofer, Juventus will come up with their strongest lineup.
In fact, he will be the same as he played last Wednesday in Turin, with the exception of Danilo being sent off.
Unlike Maccabi Haifa, Allegri did not perform a wide rotation in the league against Milan.
At least according to the Italian journalists.

"There is nothing to talk about fatigue because it is better to start providing results," explains journalist Gianluca Odenino of 'La Stampa'.
"The atmosphere in Juventus is very different after the loss to Milan. It's a very different team from the first game against Maccabi Haifa because there is a fear that there will be problems in the Champions League as well. Juve must win tomorrow, not only to qualify from home, but also to relieve pressure. In the league, the gap is 10 points From Napoli and this is an excellent opportunity for Allegri to win and reduce pressure on the crowd as well.
"The players have a lot of problems in their heads that stem from a lack of confidence. We heard that there is a warm atmosphere in Sami Ofer, pressure is the last thing Juba needs right now, there is enough of it right now. Juventus really does not underestimate Maccabi Haifa, on the contrary, it gets a lot of respect from everyone, including from us because we saw A good and strong team."
