Spanish side Villarreal are making a third appearance at the round of 16 of the Champions League, and will be facing Italian giants Juventus. In the two earlier appearances, Villarreal emerged winners only to fall at the quarter finals stage. This draw is the only one of the round of 16 pitting teams that haven’t met before and Villarreal, holders of the Europa League, will be looking to put a marker in the first leg. Villarreal are unbeaten in their last four matches, with three clean sheets in them, but they’ve failed to score in two of the last five matches. They’ve done well at home in the run up to this game, winning six of the last 10. Four of their last five home matches have produced over 2.5 goals and Villarreal have scored two or more in five of their last six home matches.

Juventus have been slowed down a bit in their domestic charge. They come into this game on the back of two straight draws, though they are unbeaten in the last seven matches. They’ve been a better side after strengthening in the January transfer and going into this game, they will be looking to get back to winning ways. Juventus’ greatest quality heading to this game is in attack; they have failed to score in just one of their last 10 matches and in five of those 10 games, they’ve scored two or more goals. Save for the 4-0 loss to Chelsea in the group stages, Juventus have six wins in seven Champions League matches, and they only failed to score in that defeat in their last 10 matches in the competition. Four of their last five away matches in this competition have produced over 2.5 goals.
