Previous meetings • This is the third two-legged tie between these sides in UEFA competition; Otto Glória's Benfica got the better of Heriberto Herrera's Juventus with two wins in the semi-finals of the 1967/68 European Champion Clubs' Cup; Giovanni Trapattoni's Juventus then recovered from a first-leg defeat to eliminate António Oliveira's Benfica in the quarter-finals en route to winning the 1992/93 UEFA Cup. • The teams for the sides' first meeting in Lisbon, a 2-0 Benfica win on 9 May 1968, were: Benfica: José Henrique, Adolfo Calisto, Fernando Cruz, Humberto Fernandes, Jacinto Santos, Mário Coluna, Jaime Graça, José Augusto, Eusébio, António Simões, José Torres. Juventus: Anzolin, Bercellino, Castano, Salvadore, Del Sol, Leoncini, Roveta, Sacco, De Paoli, Magnusson, Zigoni. • The teams for their most recent Lisbon meeting, a 2-1 Benfica triumph on 4 March 1993, were: Benfica: Silvino, José Carlos (Rui Águas 63), Hélder, Carlos Mozer, António Veloso, Paulo Sousa, Vítor Paneira, Schwarz, João Pinto, Yuran (Pacheco 64), Isaías. Juventus: Peruzzi, Carrera, Torricelli, Dino Baggio, Kohler, Júlio César, Conte, Galia (Di Canio 51), Vialli (De Marchi 84), Roberto Baggio, Möller. • Current Juventus coach Antonio Conte played in both legs of this tie. • Paulo Sousa, who started for Benfica, played for Juve from 1994 to 1996, winning the Scudetto, one Italian Cup and the 1995/96 UEFA Champions League during his time in Turin. • Juventus's coach in this tie, Trapattoni was in charge of Benfica in 2004/05, leading the club to the Portuguese title – and defeat in the final of the Portuguese Cup. • This will be Juventus's first game at the new Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica – their two previous away fixtures against the Eagles were at the old Da Luz stadium. • In their previous trips to Turin, Benfica played at the Stadio Olimpico (1967/68) and the Stadio delle Alpi (1992/93); the Juventus Stadium – built on the site of the Delle Alpi – will be the third Turin venue in which they have played. Match background • Benfica – who claimed their 33rd Portuguese league title on 20 April – have played 27 games against Italian clubs with the record W8 D4 L15 (W5 D4 L3 as the home team – W3 D0 L10 in Italy, including the final of the 1965 European Cup, which they lost to FC Internazionale Milano in Milan). These fixtures also include final defeats on neutral territory: 2-1 v AC Milan (1963 European Cup final, London) and 1-0 v AC Milan (1990 European Cup final, Vienna). • Juventus's nine encounters with Portuguese sides have ended W5 D1 L3 (W3 D0 L1 at home – W1 D1 L2 in Portugal), including the final of the 1984 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, where they beat FC Porto 2-1 on neutral territory in Basel. All three of those defeats came against Benfica. • Benfica and Juventus (both W5 D1) are the only sides left who have not lost a game in this season's UEFA Europa League. • Benfica are unbeaten in 12 European home encounters (W10 D2) since a 2-0 loss to FC Barcelona in the 2012/13 UEFA Champions League group stage. They have yet to lose a UEFA Europa League (group stage to final) match at home (P17 W15 D2). • Juve have won their last three European away games and have only ever lost one UEFA Europa League fixture – 4- 1 at Fulham FC in the 2009/10 round of 16 – and are unbeaten in eight away games in the competition since then (W5 D3), qualifying included.
