Mirko Vucinic: 'We're confident we can beat Chelsea'

Juventus forward Mirko Vucinic says that the Serie A champions are not intimidated by taking on Chelsea in their opening group match in the Champions League.

Juventus forward Mirko Vucinic has insisted that he and his teammates are determined to grab three points against Chelsea in their Champions League meeting tomorrow.

The Serie A title winners travel to Stamford Bridge for their opening game in the elite tournament but they won't have the presence of manager Antonio Conte on the touchline after he was hit with a 10-month suspension for failing to report a match-fixing scandal.

"Stamford Bridge is not the best place for us to open the group but there exists no fear," the Daily Star quotes Vucinic as saying.

"We are the champions of Italy and that gives us a prestige we need to exploit. This is our return to the Champions League and therefore very special.

"Chelsea are European champions and deserve our respect, but we go to London without fear and with a lot of confidence."

Juventus are currently unbeaten in 42 games.
