Juventus (4-3-3) faces Olimpique Lion (3-5-2) at the Allianz Stadium in Turin in the second leg of round of 16 of UEFA Champions League 2019/20 on Friday 07 August 2020 at 21:00.
In the first leg played on 26 February 2020 Lyon has beated Juventus at the home ground (1-0). Meanwhile, Juventus ended Italian Serie A by wining 9th championship title in a row and 38th in total. Juventus has won 2 Champions League trophies but the last one took place long ago in the season 1995/96 and they believe it is a time to win the third one this year.
Their task in the return match against French team is quite clear, as they simply need to win. Their coach Maurizio Sarri will try to win his first Champions League, like he did with Chelsea last year when he won his first Europa League. This time it will be hard, since they have lost in the first leg, but not impossible, it is still only 1 goal of difference. They have proved a lot of times how good they can be in the second leg, for example last year when they overcome Atletico Madrid by scoring 3 goals at home ground after they lost by 2-0 Madrid.
Toscan coach unfortunately won't be able to count from the first minute on the best player of Serie A 2019/20, Argentinian play maker Paulo Dybala (11 goals and 11 assists in 33 in Serie A 2019/20 and 3 goals and 2 assists in Champions League) due to injury. Cristiano Ronaldo (31 goals and 6 assists in Serie A 2019/20 and 2 goals and 1 assist in Champions League) will start the match together with Argentinian forward Gonzalo Higuain (8 goals and 4 assists in Serie A and 2 goals and 2 assists in Champions League).
Since they defeated Juventus in the first leg, French Ligue 1 ended earlier in March 2020 due to Covid-19 pandemic, and Olimpique Lyon ended the season at the 7th position.
Their task in the return match against Italian team is also quite clear, as they simply need to stay unbeaten. Olimpique Lyon have a lack of competitive matches since French Ligue 1 2019/20 ended in March 2020 and season 2020/21 will start in August 2020. Instead of their rivals who are coming from a long streak of 11 games in Italian league. Their coach Rudi Garcia will count again on midfielder Houssem Aouar (3 goals and 3 assists in Ligue 1 2019/20 and 1 goal and 3 assists in Champions League) who scored the winning goal in the first leg.
The main threats for Juventus's defense should come from Dutch wing Memphis Depay (9 goals and 2 assists in Liga 1 2019/20 and 5 goals in Champions League), who's also team capitain, and French forward Moussa Dembele (16 goals and 2 assists in Ligue 1).
As we take a look to the 5 matches where these two teams have faced each other, Juventus is leading with 3 victories, instead of Olimpique Lion who has won once. There is also 1 draw.

This match should see plenty of goal chances by both sides as Juventus will try to attack from the start and score early, since they lost their first match against this rival. Olimpique Lyon will choose defensive tactics and will wait for the fast counter attacks to score and eliminate Juventus.
Having said all that about these two teams, I would rather think that Juventus will win this match. So my final prediction is: 1
4-3-3
3-5-2

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
