When Juventus signed Cristiano Ronaldo, they hoped it would bring them another Champions League title. Whereas they lead Serie A by 18 points and are yet to lose a league game, it's been a different story in the Champions League. They won their group despite a 2-1 home loss to Manchester United. They drew Atletico Madrid in the last 16 and lost the first leg of this tie 2-0. Juventus could have done with an away goal in Madrid and if they concede in this second-leg, that means there's no chance of extra-time and Juventus will have to score four goals in 90 minutes. Juventus have only won two of their last six home Champions League games and they have lost three of their last four, home and away.

Atletico Madrid didn't make it out of their Champions League group last season and went on to win the Europa League. They are second in La Liga, seven points behind Barcelona but have won their last five games in all competitions and not conceded a goal in any of them with each match having under 2.5 goals scored in them. Atletico have also kept clean sheets in each of their last four Champions League games, again all having under 2.5 goals scored in them. Not surprisingly then that's the tip for this game, under 2.5 goals to be scored.
