Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Juventus form and stats

Last season, Juventus's Champions League journey ended in the group stage.

27 points is a decent return from 12 Serie A games here at Allianz Stadium for Juventus. The data says 8 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Juventus, as their goalkeeper has completely shut out the opponents for 231 minutes in the Serie A.

The Juventus supporters enjoyed the previous fixture, watching their team host Fiorentina and win 1-0. Goalkeeper Szczęsny got the top rating on the team in that game; 7.44 out of ten. Szczęsny topped it up with a clean sheet.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Salernitana and winning 3-0.

Juventus are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found 9 matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won 7, drew 1 and lost 1.

There will be little rest for Juventus after this match as they are travelling to Spezia for a Serie A game in only three days.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (25 in 12 games), Juventus's attacking play is working. From these home matches, Juventus have conceded only 8 goals.

Nantes form and stats

The traveling awayteam has defeated Freiburg, Olympiakos Piraeus and Qarabag in order to reach knockout round play-offs of Europa League.

There's been little loot from Nantes's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 12 away games in the Ligue 1. Nantes only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 5 draws. When we have look at the Europa League statistics, we find 3W-0D-3L. This is both home and away.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Nantes goalkeeper Alban Lafont is eager to challenge this, with his 180 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

The supporters enjoyed Nantes's previous game versus Lorient, a 1-0 win played at home. Centonze, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.45. Centonze hit one key pass and won 8 of 11 duels.

Preceding that, 1-1 away against Angers SCO (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties) in the Coupe de France.

Nantes have another game that requires travelling in just three days, a Ligue 1 match against Lens. A back-breaking calendar for them!

The visitors have scored 11 goals from 12 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Nantes have conceded 15 goals in these away matches.

Read more about Europa League

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
