On Tuesday, Monaco travel to Juventus in the second leg of their semi-final tie. The Ligue 1 leaders must leave everything on the pitch, as they need to overturn a 2-0 deficit to book their spot in the final.
Unfortunately, Allegri’s side will have the home advantage – on top of several other things. A comeback in Turin isn’t impossible for Leonardo Jardim’s boys, but it will be difficult. Here are three stats for and against Les Rouges et Blancs making it to the final in Cardiff.
FOR
1. Teams have overturned a first-leg home defeat
Twice, in fact – Ajax against Panathinaikos in the 1995/96 semis, and Inter Milan against Bayern Munich in the 2010/11 round of 16. It has been done before.
2. Juve’s home winning run is over
Over the weekend, the Bianconeri drew 1-1 with Torino, needing a stoppage time Higuain equalizer to spare them embarrassment in the derby. That put an end to their 33-game home winning run.
3. Monaco know how to score
OK, the Old Lady have a scary defense, but the visitors know how to score. As of now, they have scored 151 times in all competitions.
AGAINST
1. Juventus have won all 11 two-legged ties against French sides
This includes against Monaco in the 1997/98 semis and the 14/15 quarter-final.
2. Les Rouges et Blancs are searching for their 1st win in Italy
In seven trips to Italy, the French side have lost six and drawn one.
3. Allegri’s defense are yet to concede in the knockout stage this season
Enough said.
