Juventus host Lyon at the Juventus Stadium in Turin on Wednesday, November 2. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
After beating Lyon away two weeks ago, Juventus are in the driver’s seat for qualification. They will look to take the decisive step at home. Juve’s storied defense continues to propel Massimiliano Allegri’s squad to continued success. Whether it be Gianluigi Buffon’s penalty save in their last match against Lyon, or the fantastic organization of the back line or the suffocating pressure that Juventus defenders and midfielders apply on opponents, the Italian champions have not allowed any goals in the Champions League this season and did not allow any goals at home in last season’s group stage. Giorgio Chiellini continues to be out with an injury, but Medhi Benatia has proved to be a worthy replacement, slotting into that three-man back line seamlessly.
Lyon has struggled as of late, losing five games out of their last seven and are currently in eight place in the French Ligue 1. They won their last game in the French league, a 2-1 win away at Toulouse. Bruno Genesio, the Lyon coach is hoping that this French league win will help reverse the tide. However, Lyon’s chances of a win are hampered by the fact that Mathieu Valbuena continues to be out with an injured shoulder.
