Previous meetings • Juventus beat Olympiacos 7-0 when the clubs last met in Turin in the UEFA Champions League group stage, on 10 December 2003. It was the Bianconeri's joint biggest win in Europe and Olympiacos's heaviest loss. • The lineups for that match were: Juventus: Chimenti, Birindelli, Iuliano (Zambrotta 84), Montero, Pessotto, Zalayeta, Tudor, Conte, Maresca, Trezeguet (Di Vaio 58), Miccoli (Del Piero 66). Olympiacos: Eleftheropoulos, Pantos, Anatolakis (Georgiadis 68), Kostoulas, Venetidis, Mavrogenidis, Karembeu, Kafes (Gonias 61), Djordjević, Giovanni (Niniadis 77), Castillo. • Gianluigi Buffon watched from the bench that night but did play in Juve's 2-1 away success at the Rizoupoli Stadium in Athens. • Juventus have won five and lost only one of the clubs' eight previous encounters. • Olympiacos's only victory over Juve – 2-1 in Palermo in the 1999/2000 UEFA Cup third round – was in a losing cause; they still went down 4-3 on aggregate. Match background Juventus • After back-to-back away defeats, Juventus will welcome the return to Turin where they are unbeaten in eight matches in UEFA competition, including the 2-0 victory over Malmö FF on matchday one. • Overall the Bianconeri have lost just one of 13 European home fixtures at the redeveloped Juventus Stadium (W7 D5 L1). • Juve's overall record against sides from Greece is W12 D4 L4. In Italy their record reads W8 D1 L1, though they have never lost to Greek opposition in Turin; that defeat was the aforementioned loss in Palermo to Olympiacos. Olympiacos • Olympiacos may have won twice at home in Group A, but they have lost their last three UEFA Champions League away games, including the 2-0 reverse at Malmö on matchday two. • Last season the Greek champions took four away points in the group stage – winning at RSC Anderlecht (3-0) and drawing at SL Benfica (1-1) before losing to Paris Saint-Germain (1-2). It was their best away performance in their past four campaigns. • Olympiacos have beaten Serie A sides more times in Italy (three) than in Greece (two). Their away record against Italian sides is W3 D1 L6. Their overall record is W5 D5 L10. • Olympiacos's most recent trip to Italy brought a 2-1 victory at SS Lazio in the 2007/08 UEFA Champions League group stage. Kostas Mitroglou, a 93rd-minute substitute, is the only survivor of that team. Coach and player links • Míchel helped Real Madrid CF overcome Juventus in the 1986/87 European Champion Clubs' Cup second round, the Spanish side winning 3-1 on penalties after a 1-1 aggregate draw (1-0h, 0-1a). • Míchel's final match as a player in UEFA competition was a 2-0 defeat at Juventus in the 1995/96 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals (1-2 on aggregate). • Patrice Evra played in Manchester United FC's 3-2 aggregate victory over Olympiacos in last term's round of 16 (0- 2a, 3-0h). • Evra was in the United side beaten 3-1 by an FC Barcelona team including Éric Abidal and last-minute substitute Ibrahim Afellay in the 2011 UEFA Champions League final. • Abidal and Afellay also played together for Barcelona in a 2-2 home draw with Allegri's AC Milan in the 2011/12 group stage.
