The Old Lady lost the first match of the round to PSG
After losing in the opener to PSG, Juventus is looking for redemption, at home, against Benfica. A challenge that is far from easy, given the many absences in the Bianconeri ranks and a less than encouraging record with Benfica.
In six face-offs, the Bianconeri have won only once: 1992/93 Uefa Cup (3-0, Kohler, D.Baggio and Ravanelli). In the other five challenges, Benfica won four times and drew once. Also worth mentioning is the 2013/14 Europa League semifinal with Benfica ousting Conte’s then Juventus (0-0 in Turin and 2-1 in Lisbon). In short, the record is not on the side of the Bianconeri.
