Preview: Lyon vs Juventus

This will be the fifth meeting between Lyon and Juventus, and Les Gones will be aiming for what would be a historic result. To date, they've never beaten La Vecchia Signora and have lost six of their last seven of round of 16 ties. It goes without saying they will be the clear underdogs here, although Juventus have not always been at their very best this season under new manager Maurizio Sarri, who will be keen on proving his doubters wrong with a solid run in this season's Champions League.

Lyon narrowly edged out Portuguese outfit Benfica to slip into second place in their group, three points behind eventual group winners RB Leipzig, and come into this game having beating Metz 2-0 over the weekend. They sit in seventh spot after ending their four match winless streak but will have to take on the reigning Scudetto winners without several key players.

Juventus, meanwhile, have picked up wins in their last two games to reclaim top spot in the league table and will be hoping to make their mark in this season's Champions League. The Bianconeri topped their quartet after a solid group stage campaign and having experienced frustration after losing two finals under Massimiliano Allegri, will be really aspiring to truly establish themselves among Europe's big hitters by getting their hands on the coveted prize this season.

Lyon may be the underdogs in this tie, but it's clear that Juve won't take them too lightly as they have suffered some surprise defeats already this term, namely to minnows Hellas Verona, as well as to Sarri's former side Napoli. The visitors could also be misisng Gonzalo Higuain for this contest, which will be quite disappointing for Sarri given his preference for fielding the ex-Napoli man in his preferred formation.
