Match begins: 20:00 (UTC)
Venue: Allianz Stadium (41507 seats)

There's no exiting this stadium without a winner tonight as it's the second leg of the Champions League 8th Finals meeting between Juventus and Porto. Game on!

It's no vacation for neither Juventus nor Porto as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Porto have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Juventus form and stats

Juventus participated in Champions League the last season, where they reached the 8th finals.

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Allianz Stadium as Juventus have scored 29 goals to get 32 points from 13 games. The overall stats in the Serie A are 10-2-1 (wins-draws-losses). 5W-0D-2L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Champions League for Juventus. Ever since the Fiorentina game Juventus has been unbeatable here at Allianz Stadium producing seven straight wins.

Juventus's previous game was a Serie A match also played at home, ending 3-1 versus Lazio. The home side are looking to build on that result. Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Spezia.

Goals decide football matches and Juventus are scoring many of them at home; 29 on target from 13 league matches. Juventus have only conceded 9 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Porto form and stats

Porto was sent out of Champions League in the 3rd qualifying round last season.

Porto's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Porto collect 24 points from their 11 away matches in the Primeira Liga. 7 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). When we have look at the Champions League statistics, we find 5W-1D-1L. This is both home and away. In general it has been a productive period now for Porto as they haven't lost any of their last 16 games. Porto are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played eight in a row without losing.

252 minutes! That's how long the Porto goalkeeper Agustin Federico Marchesin and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Two travels in a row for Porto, whose manager S. Marceneiro Conceição could celebrate last time after the Primeira Liga win against Gil Vicente. A loss against Sporting Braga was the result prior to that, in a Taça De Portugal home game.

Porto have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 24 goals from 11 away matches. 11 goals have been conceded by Porto in these games.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Porto - Juventus 2-1. Numbers for the last three meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Juventus, zero draws and one win for Porto. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: two games.
