Juventus host Villarreal on Wednesday night in the second leg of an intriguing Champions League Round of 16 tie.
The tie is finely poised after the two teams drew 1-1 in Spain in the first leg. Dusan Vlahovic put Juventus ahead in the first minute, but Villarreal equalised in the second half through Dani Parejo.
Juventus have been knocked out at the Round of 16 stage in the past two seasons, so they will be determined to avoid suffering the same fate again.
Villarreal, meanwhile, won the Europa League last season and are now looking to progress in the Champions League.
