Juventus Preview – Can Juventus overturn 1-goal deficit?

A disappointing 1-0 defeat away from home in France at Lyon towards the end of February saw Thursday’s visitors earn a valuable 1-0 win in the 1st leg of this Champions League tie against the Serie A title-holders, but they’ll face a tough examination at the Allianz Stadium when they face Juventus again despite an empty stadium.

Juventus fairly limped across the finish line in their recent Serie A title race, in the end finishing just one point ahead of runners-up, Inter Milan, but manager Maurizio Sarri had some key injuries to deal with as the Old Lady stuttered towards the title having lost to Udinese, Cagliari and Roma in their last four matches overall.

The good news for Sarri and Juventus is that forward Dybala (11 goals) is expected to be fit and will be alongside the mercurial Ronaldo (31 goals), while Bernardeschi may complete the trio up front as the hosts look to further improve their sequence of just one defeat at home from their last 14 matches in all competitions.

Lyon Preview – Can Lyon hold on?

Friday night could well see the French Ligue 1 visitors, Lyon, with their backs to the wall in this return leg in Turin as they look to defend their slender 1-goal advantage from their 1st leg win in this tie back at the end of February.

Following the early halt to proceedings in last season’s French Ligue 1 season due to the lockdown being imposed across all the major European leagues, Lyon have had to make do with club friendlies against Nice, Rangers, Celtic and Gent to keep their eye in so to speak, while their one competitive outing since the re-start was a loss on penalties to PSG in the Coupe de la Ligue.

Lyon’s results on the road in the Champions League haven’t been entirely convincing either as the visitors have picked up just one win from their previous six matches on their travels which was a 2-0 win at RB Liepzig, but they also suffered defeats at Barcelona, Benfica and Zenit.
