Juventus FC - Bayern München

Juventus has an extremely tough task tonight to move forward in the tournament. "The Old Lady" will have to score at least two goals in this game, after losing 2-0 in the away match in Munich. An early goal for the home side will definitely make this encounter very exciting, but judging by the performance of both teams from the previous game, then Bayern should continue to the semi-finals quite deservedly. However, last night we witnessed unexpected turn of events at both quarterfinal matches, where the favorites were outplayed. Borussia Dortmund was even very close to a surprising defeat. These matches have proven that in the Champions League, especially in this phase, anything is possible and we should not count Juventus out.

While Juventus it two goals behind, the team might not be extremely aggressive from the first minute, given that a goal for Bayern Munich means that the hosts will have to score 4. Two key players of Juventus players are suspended for this match - Arturo Vidal and Stephan Lichtsteiner, while for Bayern Toni Kroos and Holger Badstuber are injured. Giovinco is again doubtful about the meeting after receiving a knee injury last week.

After the failure of Bayern Munich in the last final of the Champions League in front of their own audience, the Germans are higly motivated to win the most valuable trophy. In the last three editions of the Champions League, Bayern have lost two finals, and this team of Bayern definitely has the qualities and the strength to triumph in the most prestigious football tournament on the planet. During this season, the team totally dominated the Bundesliga and the Champions League, and the surprising defeat from BATE Borisov is the only loss of Bayern as a guest. It will be a big surprise, if Juventus manages to eliminate Bayern Munich, but as we mentioned, in the Champions League anything can happen, especially when these two teams face each other.
