Juventus
Juventus qualified for the Champions League playoffs from the first line in Group H. The first leg of the last-16 match in Spain ended in a draw. Juve failed to use their chances and will need to work harder today.
The Old Lady have been successful in Coppa Italia - after confident victories over Sampdoria (4:1) and Sassuolo (2:1), Juventus outplayed Fiorentina (1:0) in the first leg of the semifinal match. In the Italian Super Cup, today's hosts lost to Inter Milan (1:2).

Chiellini, Chiesa, Dybala, Bonucci, and Zakaria have been ruled out of this fixture.
Villarreal
Villarreal recorded three victories and one draw at the Champions League group stage, which was enough to qualify for the playoffs from the second place in Group F.
