The two-time European Cup champions hope to make it to the first Champions League final since 2003, and at the same time get revenge on Real Madrid for a 2-1 loss that contributed to their group stage exit last term.

Los Blancos, on the other hand, hope to become the first ever side to defend the CL trophy, and they arrive in Turin buoyed by the 3-2 triumph over Sevilla.

Juventus have just secured their fourth successive Serie A trophy, but the Bianconeri will probably not be too happy if they fail to add to that title until the end of the season.

Max Allegri’s side have made it to the Coppa Italia final, where they will square off against Lazio, but their Champions League campaign has the priority at the moment.

Having done well to eliminate Borussia Dortmund and Monaco in the previous rounds, Juventus will be battling holders Real Madrid for one place in the final.

And having outplayed los Blancos in both matches last season, the Bianconeri can be backed at 3.12 (36/17) to win the first leg in Turin.

Max Allegri is set to recall the likes of Andrea Pirlo, Alvaro Morata and Giorgio Chiellini after they were rested in the 1-0 win over Sampdoria.

However, the likes of Paul Pogba, Martin Caceres and Kwadwo Asamoah have been ruled out through injury.

Probable starting line-up (3-5-2): Buffon – Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini – Lictsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio, Evra – Tevez, Morata.

Real Madrid look set to miss out on both domestic trophies, but the Champions League triumph could save their season.

Los Blancos kept their title hopes in La Liga alive as they became the first team to beat Sevilla on the road this season, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring yet another hat-trick.

Real Madrid trail Barcelona by two points with three games to go, but they will not give up on the league trophy as long as there is a chance of catching their arch rivals.

Nevertheless, los Blancos turn their attention towards the Champions League game against Juventus, where they are 2.62 (13/8) to emerge victorious.

The latest reports suggest that Gareth Bale will return to the starting line-up, with one of Isco or Javier Hernandez set to make way.

Karim Benzema has resumed training after recovering from injury, but he is unlikely to start, whereas Sergio Ramos is set to continue in midfield.

Probable starting line-up (4-4-2): Casillas – Carvajal, Pepe, Varane, Marcelo – Rodriguez, Ramos, Kroos, Isco – Ronaldo, Bale.
