The omens are against Sporting, however, who have never won in Italy. Match background Juventus • A 2-0 victory against Olympiacos FC last time out stretched the Bianconeri's unbeaten home run in UEFA competition to 24 games (W15 D9), dating back to a 2-0 reverse against FC Bayern München in April 2013. • Juventus's 13 encounters with Portuguese sides have ended W7 D2 L4; at home their record is W4 D1 L1. All four of those defeats came against SL Benfica. • The Bianconeri's sole home loss to a Portuguese Liga club came in their first encounter, Benfica triumphing 1-0 in Turin in a 1967/68 European Champion Clubs' Cup semi-final second leg (3-0 aggregate). • Juventus got the better of Portuguese opposition in last season's round of 16, beating FC Porto 3-0 over two legs (2- 0 away, 1-0 home). • Juventus lost last season's final 4-1 to Real Madrid CF in Cardiff. They were also beaten 3-0 by FC Barcelona on matchday one, the first time since the 2014/15 group stage they had lost successive European matches; by overcoming Olympiacos they avoided suffering three defeats in a row in Europe for the first time since 1993/94. • This is an 18th UEFA Champions League group stage campaign for Juve, and a sixth in succession. • The Italian outfit have reached the knockout rounds in their last three attempts, having finished third in their section in 2013/14. Sporting • Sporting have not played an Italian club for six years since two contests against SS Lazio in the 2011/12 UEFA Europa League group stage (2-1 home, 0-2 away). • That loss in Rome means Sporting's record away to Italian clubs now reads W0 D3 L10. Overall it is W5 D10 L12. • Beaten 1-0 at home by Barcelona in their most recent fixture, Sporting were 3-2 winners at Olympiacos on matchday one, just their third victory in their last 24 European away fixtures (D5 L16). It was also their first away win in this competition proper since a 1-0 success at FC Basel 1893 on 9 December 2008; their subsequent record was D1 L6, with a five-game losing run before the Olympiacos triumph including all three away games in last season's group stage.
