Bayern Munich vs Juventus PREVIEW:

BAYERN MUNICH

1. Bayern Munich and Juventus have met six times in the past, always in the Champions League. The Bavarians have won two whilst Juventus have won three with only one game ending in a draw.

2. The round of 16 second-leg defeat against Arsenal FC ended Bayern's ten-game unbeaten home run in the UEFA Champions League.

3. Bayern Munich have the joint-best attacking record in the Champions League this season (18 goals in eight games), alongside Real Madrid.

4. Only Arsenal have stopped Bayern Munich from scoring in the Champions League this season.

5. Jupp Heynckes masterminded victory over Juventus when he was Real Madrid boss, guiding them to a Champions League final 1-0 win in 1998.

6. Jrme Boateng (two matches) and Bastian Schweinsteiger (one) are available after suspensions; Javi Martnez serves a one-game ban while Dante and Philipp Lahm will incur a suspension with their next yellow cards.

7. Bayern's next European Cup victory will be their 150th.

8. The German club have conceded 399 goals in UEFA competition.

JUVENTUS

4. Juventus have only failed to score once in fifteen Champions League games against German opposition (v Bayern Munich in September 2009).

5. Old Lady have not reached the last four since overcoming Barcelona in the 2002-03 campaign.

7. Juventus have lost seven of their last eight away games in the knockout stages of the Champions League.

8. Gianluigi Buffon and Leonardo Bonucci have played every minute of Juventus's campaign.

9. Stephan Lichtsteiner, Claudio Marchisio and Arturo Vidal will incur a suspension with their next yellow cards.
