Barcelona vs Juventus
UEFA Champions League Quarterfinal Second Leg
Wednesday, 19th April 2017
Kick-off at 19:45 Nigerian Time
Venue: Camp Nou, Barcelona.

For the second time in a row, Spanish giants Barcelona look to overturn a huge first leg defeat in the Champions League knock-out stage as they welcome Italian champions Juventus for the quarter final tie tonight.

Juventus might look good for a spot in the Champions League this term after earning a massive 3-0 win against Barcelona from the first leg at Turin last week. But the Catalans are coming with a reputation as a free-scoring team at home.

The Blaugrana will once against confident after overturning a 4-0 defeat at Paris with a 6-1 win at Camp Nou in the previous round. The Old Lady are a good defensive side, but they must respect a Barcelona attack who are recorded an average of 4.5 goals per game in the last 6 matches at home.

TEAM NEWS:

Barcelona - Neymar will be available once more after missing the 3-2 win over Real Sociedad on Saturday due to a suspension and the Brazilian wizard should be well-rested and raring to go come tonight. However, Javier Mascherano will likely miss the fixture after failing to train on Monday night because of a calf injury, while Aleix Vidal and Rafinha are both out for the rest of the season. Other than that, Luis Enrique has his full squad at his disposal for the match against the Bianconeri.

Juventus - Juventus were given a huge injury scare over the weekend when their brilliant midfielder Paulo Dybala picked up a minor sprain in his ankle but early reports suggest the Argentinian international will be fit for the match tonight. Other than that, Allegri will be thankful that he has every other member of his squad available for the fixture as the Italians will have to be at their best against a Barcelona side that have shown they can overcome the most extreme odds.

POSSIBLE LINEUPS:

Barcelona (3-4-3): Ter Stegen, Umtiti, Pique, Mathieu, Roberto, Iniesta, Busquets, Rakitic, Messi, Suarez, Neymar

Juventus (4-2-3-1): Buffon, Alves, Bonucci, Chiellini, Sandro, Pjanic, Khedira, Cuadrado, Dybala, Mandzukic, Higuain
