Porto host Juventus in the first leg of the teams’ Champions League last-16 tie tonight.

The clubs have previously met four times in the competition, with Juve winning three of the clashes and one ending as a stalemate.

The last two meetings came in the 2016/17 edition of the tournament, also in the round of 16, with Juventus emerging 3-0 aggregate winners with two victories. Porto will hope to make amends for those results as they pursue a place in the quarter-finals this season, knowing they face a difficult task.
