Third and final Olympiacos substitution, with Emmanuel Emenike coming off and he has been replaced by Marko Marin.
86'
Juventus have well and truly wrapped up this game now, they are controlling the last few minutes with more possession. They will move up to third position in Group D with their first points of this seasons Champions League, level with Sporting and three points behind Barcelona. Whilst Olympiacos remain rooted to the bottom.
84'
F. Bernardeschi enters the game and replaces Douglas Costa.

M. Benatia enters the game and replaces S. Sturaro.
Another Juve change as Stefano Sturaro comes off and he is replaced by Medhi Amine El Mouttaqi Benatia.
80'
M. Mandžukić has scored a goal for Juventus!
GOOOAAALLL! JUVE HAVE TWO! Excellent build up play by Juventus but it is a fortunate goal and hard one for Olympiacos to take. Higuian play a nice ball to Dybala who made a run between the lines and into the box, he then tried to chip the keeper who got a slight touch on the ball. It looks to be heading into the back of the net, but an Olympiacos defender does brilliantly to get back and clear the ball off the line. However his clearance is fired straight at Mandzukic, it hits the striker and bounces over the line. He won’t score an easier goal!
78'
Not long left to play here at the Allianz Stadium, can Juve extend their lead or will Olympiacos be able to mount a comeback?
77'
K. Fortounis enters the game and replaces S. Zdjelar.
Here comes another Olympiacos substitution, Saša Zdjelar is replaced by Konstantinos Fortounis.
74'
Juventus have not been involved in a goalless draw in any of their last 18 matches in all competitions, since facing Barcelona in the semi-final second leg of the UEFA Champions League last season. They now deservedly lead here.

E. Fardou Ben Mohamed enters the game and replaces F. Pardo.
Olympiacos make their first change of the game with Pardo coming off and he has been replaced by El Fardou Ben Mohamed.
69'
G. Higuaín has scored a goal for Juventus!
GOOOAAALLL JUVE LEAD! Finally they break the deadlock and it is Higuain with the vital goal from close range. Alex Sandro did well down the left to put a low cross into the box which rebounds off a couple of players before landing perfectly at the feet of Higuain who smashes the ball into the back of the net from just a couple of yards out. The crowd goes wild and you can sense the relief with that goal.
66'
Decent chance for the visitors! Another nudge for Juventus that Olympiacos are still in this game. Odjidja swivels and strikes on the edge of the area and Buffon has to make a low save diving to his left.
64'
Olympiacos win a corner of their own here, they haven't been out of their own half too much in this second half, sitting in more of a 4-5-1 formation now. However, Juve defend the corner well and clear the danger.
62'
The crowd fully remain Juve here despite their side being unable to break down the resilient Olympiacos. The Greek side have played very well defensively and look a threat on the break, there is still plenty of time left to play though.
60'
G. Higuaín enters the game and replaces J. Cuadrado.
Juve make the first substitution of the game, with Juan Cuadrado the man heading off and he has been replaced by Gonzalo Higuaín. Much to the delight of the home supporters.
58'
Juventus have already conceded more goals on the opening matchday this season, the three against Barcelona - than they did in the whole of last season’s group stages, when they conceded just two goals.
55'
CLOSE JUVE! Half of the ground though it was in! Douglas Costa fired an attempt at goal from the edge of the box and it went just inches wide of the post, with Proto rooted to the spot. The ball rippled past the post and behind the goal, appearing to go into the net from certain angles in the crowd. They are getting closer.
54'
Just like in the first half, it is Juve who are on top here and look the far more likely to break the deadlock. Surely it is just a matter of time before they get themselves in front.
52'
STAT: Only one of Olympiakos’ last 36 Champions League games has ended in a draw (W17 L18), it was against Benfica in October 2013 (1-1).
49'
Zdjelar is penalised for a foul on Douglas Costa, it was a driving run from the winger and he is tripped around 40 metres from goal. Slightly too far out for a shot at goal. Dybala puts the ball into the box but the Olympiacos do well to clear.
48'
Higuaín is among the Juventus substitutes warming up at the moment. The Argentinian striker has scored in 15 UEFA Champions League games and has never been on losing team when scoring, winning 13 and two draws.
46'
The second half is underway!
45' +1
That's the half-time whistle!
45'
There will be a minimum of one minute added time played.
HOW DID THEY NOT SCORE?! First Dybala thinks he has scored, only to be denied by an excellent Prodo save. Dybala tried to curl the ball into the top left-hand corner from the edge of the box, but the keeper made a great stop. Then just seconds later Douglas Costa forces another vital save by Prodo to keep his side in this game. The resulting corner comes to nothing but Juve are threatening here.
43'
We may see more of the Olympiacos counter-attacks as they goes on, they are sitting deeper and looking to hurt Juve on the break.
42'
Pardo forces Buffon into making a save, his first of the game. Olympiacos broke on the counter with pace, but Juve managed to get players back in numbers. Pardo had to take the shot early from the edge of the box, therefore it didn't trouble Buffon too much who made a routine stop.
41'
It's all Juve at the moment, the visitors are struggling to get out of their own half now. They will be hoping they can at least hold on until the break as they have defended well here so far.
39'
Another good save by Proto to deny Mandzukic from scoring with a header. The striker rose highest at the cross came into the box and he directed his effort at goal but it wasn't close enough to the corner and the Olympiacos keeper did well to move across his goal and make the save.
37'
Serious pressure from Juventus, they have a free-kick a little further out than before but still in striking range. Douglas Costa steps up to take it... It strikes the wall and Cuadrado fires the follow-up effort over the bar.
35'
ANOTHER CHANCE! Great save by Proto to deny Sturaro from the resulting corner, his header looked to be heading into the bottom left-hand corner of the net but the Olympiacos keeper got down well to making a very good stop.
34'
CHANCE JUVE! Mandzukic with a great opportunity to hand the hosts the lead with a header from close range. A cross from the right is met at the back post and it need to be tipped over the bar by Proto.
32'
Juventus are struggling to create clear-cut opportunities to score against an organised Olympiacos defence at the moment. Cuadrado and Douglas Costa are barely getting on the ball and when they do they are having troubling beating their man. Juve have lacked a cutting edge.
30'
Decent chance for Juventus! The hosts had a corner which was whipped into the box by Dybala and well met by Alex Sandro at the near post but his powerful header goes over the bar.
28'
STAT: Olympiacos have lost seven of their last 11 away games in the Champions League and failed to score in five of them.
26'
A few sloppy passes by Juve don't go down well with the home crowd, especially as they look the better team, but are giving the ball away too easily when they should be exploiting this poor Olympiacos defence.
24'
The pressure is starting to build here on Olympiacos, they are starting to sit a bit deeper when defending and inviting Juve onto them which plays straight into the hands of the Italian side. So far the hosts have lacked that a clinical touch and final ball when in the final third.
22'
Two free-kicks in quick succession for Juve. Dybala with a effort at goal from a free-kick around 25 yards out, but he strikes it straight at the wall! However, Pardo gives away another free-kick even closer to goal which Dybala once again steps up to take... This time it strikes his own teammate and Olympiacos eventually clear the danger.
19'
The atmosphere is electric here inside the Allianz Stadium, with the home supporters throughly making their voices heard here tonight, in a game that they need to win after a disappointing defeat against Barcelona in the first group game.
17'
Dybala and Mario Mandžukić are drifting over to the right wing a lot here and close to Juan Cuadrado, while Douglas Costa remains providing the width on the left, looking to use his pace to exploit his marker as the rest of the Olympiacos defenders worry about the other three main player threats, Dybala, Mandžukić and Cuadrado. So far the Greek side are defending well and haven't had too much to deal with.
14'
CHANCE OLYMPIACOS! The best chance of the game as far falls the way of the visitors and they should be one-nil up! Seba received a ball deep in the Juve penalty area, he cut inside and beat his marker far too easily and then only had Gianluigi Buffon to beat! However, he couldn't keep his composure and fires it over the bar. Excellent chance.
12'
Olympiacos are pressurising Juve high up the pitch, a plan by Takis Lemonis to keep Paulo Dybala and his team-mates at bay for as long as possible, as an early Juventus goal would severely damage the morale of his young side.
11'
STAT: Juventus have won three and lost one of their four previous meetings with Olympiacos.
8'
Emmanual Emenike then concedes a free-kick for a foul on Andrea Barzagli, around 35 yards from goal and in a good area for Juve to create an opportunity from a set piece. However, Paulo Dybala's ball is poor as it fails to get back the first defender and Olympiacos easily clear.
6'
Chance for Olympiacos to create something going forward as Alex Sandro fouls Felipe Pardo close to the right wing touchline. A good position to whip the ball into the box, however, the ball into the area is a poor one and Juve clear the ball initially. It then falls to Felipe Pardo on the edge of the area but his half volley is smashed high over the crossbar.
5'
Juventus are unbeaten in their last 19 Champions League home games (W12 D7), their longest ever run without a defeat in the competition on home soil. Bayern Munich are the last team to beat them, back in April 2013 (2-0).
3'
Juve are looking to assert their dominance early on here, they are controlling possession in the Olympiacos half and are already making the visitors chase the ball around the pitch, who have a poor defensive record. It could be a long evening for the Greek side.

We're underway!
Good evening and welcome to our LIVE match commentary of the Champions League clash between Juventus and Olympiacos.
Juventus endured the heart-breaking disappointment of losing in the Champions League final last season, and their return to the competition didn’t get off to a great start, losing 3-0 away to Barcelona.
With arguably the toughest match of the group stage out of the way, the Turin side will still be confident of securing qualification to the next round. They have followed that defeat with three straight Serie A wins in which they have scored eight goals and conceded just one, including an impressive 4-0 victory over Torino at the weekend.
Despite the departure of Leonardo Bonucci in the summer, Juve have looked strong and clinical in Serie A so far this season. Juve have now kept a clean sheet in ten of their last 12 home games in all competitions. In the Champions League, Juve have kept a clean sheet in nine of their 13 matches last season and conceded more in the final alone than they had in the 12 games preceding it.
Olympiacos aren’t enjoying the best spell of form at the moment. They lost at AEK Athens on Sunday to make it just one win from their last five games, one of which was a 3-2 loss at home to Sporting Lisbon in their first group game. That 3-2 scoreline was perhaps flattering for Olympiacos too, as they were 3-0 down until the 89th minute and never really looked in the contest.
The confirmed team news is in and here is how the two sides line-up this evening...
Player to watch: Paulo Dybala has enjoyed a sensational start to the season, scoring 10 goals in just six Serie A matches – including two hat-tricks - and the Argentine international will pose a serious threat to Olympiacos.
The teams are out here at the Allianz Stadium and kick-off is almost upon us. Stay tuned for all of the match action!
There has been a late change to the Juventus lineup: Miralem Pjanić is out of the encounter after picking up an injury in the warm-up, with Rodrigo Bentancur coming into the starting XI. Sami Khedira replaces Bentancur on the bench.
HALF-TIME: JUVENTUS 0-0 OLYMPIACOS
No goals at the Allianza Stadium, but Mario Mandzukic has forced Silvio Proto into making a couple of good saves with dangerous headers and Dybala has also gone close to giving Juve the lead. Olympiacos, however, are still very compact at the back, they are frustrating the hosts at the moment who have lacked a clincial edge, plus they look dangerous themselves with fast counter-attacks.
FULL-TIME: JUVENTUS 2-0 OLYMPIACOS
That's all from us tonight folks, we hope you enjoyed the game!
Juventus deservedly secure a two-nil victory over Olympiacos, despite some excellent defending from the Greek side who played well but in the end Juve's quality shone through. Higuain made the difference for the hosts after coming on mid-way through the second-half, he grabbed the first goal before Mandzukic bagged the second to make sure victory was wrapped up.
