On Wednesday, Juventus will step out at Wembley to lock horns with Tottenham in the Champions League. Having been paired against one another in the round of 16, only the second-leg tie remains before one team progresses into the quarter-final.
The odds do not appear to be in the Bianconeri’s favor. The Italian giant conceded two costly goals at home in the first leg to draw 2-2, meaning victory in north London is vital.
Beating Pochettino’s side will not be an easy task, as Harry Kane and Co. are in form and are playing attractive football at the moment. In addition, there are a number of stats that point to the Old Lady losing at Spurs.
First, the defending Serie A champion must overcome their London hoodoo. Juventus has traveled to the English capital on six occasions in European competitions but has never won.
Will Juventus leave London victorious this time?

The Italian side has won in England before, three times to be precise (D6, L12). However, it is in London where the Old Lady has struggled.
Furthermore, Tottenham has not lost a home game against an Italian opposition in seven previous ties (W4, D3). Nonetheless, Juventus is on a seven-game unbeaten run against Premier League sides and is unbeaten in their last three trips to England (W1, D2).
Allegri’s crew needs more than avoiding defeat. A 1-1 draw would send Tottenham through on away goals, meaning winning is the safest route into the last eight for Higuain and Co. Juventus must overcome their London nightmares and end that awful record if they wish to keep their Champions League campaign alive.
