Juventus see out the League Phase of this season's UEFA Champions League competition with a home fixture against Portuguese side Benfica.
Here's all you need to know ahead of Wednesday's 21:00 CET match-up at the Allianz Stadium:
HOME ADVANTAGE | Juventus won their last home match in the UEFA Champions League, beating Manchester City 2-0 in December. The last time the Bianconeri both won and kept a clean sheet goal in two consecutive home matches in the competition was in 2018-19, winning against Valencia (1-0) and Atletico Madrid (3-0).
TIDY AT THE BACK | Juventus have not conceded a goal in three consecutive UEFA Champions League matches and have not kept four clean sheets in a row in the competition since the 2016/17 season (six clean sheets in a row in that case).
TOUGH OPPOSITION | Juventus have lost six of their eight previous matches against Benfica in European competitions (1W, 1D), only losing more times in Europe to Real Madrid (10).
LOOKING FOR MORE | Dusan Vlahovic has scored four goals in six games with Juventus in the UEFA Champions League this season, already double the number scored in his first two seasons in the competition combined. The Serbian opened the scoring in the most recent home game in the tournament, in the 2-0 win over Manchester City.
FORWARD FOCUS | Manuel Locatelli attempted 27 line-breaking passes in Juventus' last game against Brugge: a record for a midfielder in a UEFA Champions League match.
