While much of the focus about the two early games will be on a Cristiano Ronaldo-less Juventus, two Group F teams with ambitions of moving into the knockout stages will face off in the other contest.
Zenit St. Petersburg will host Club Brugge, with the Russian side coming in as the favorites. Three points on opening day, especially with Lazio and Borussia Dortmund in the group, will be vital to either, but I will go with Zenit.
