What is the team news?

Pep Guardiola, Bayern Munich's all-conquering Spanish coach faces a tough examination of when he leads the injury-hit German champions against a Juventus side boasting one of Europe's meanest defences in the last-16 first leg clash in Turin on Tuesday.

Yet asked in a pre-match news conference on Monday whether it would be a failure if he finished his three-season Bayern spell without having won the trophy, the Manchester City-bound coach responded that there was more to life than football.

"Anyone who judges me only for the Champions League doesn't realise my life does not depend on that," he said. "I want to win the Champions League too, but I have found a new culture [in Munich] and my objectives have been achieved.

"At Barcelona, I won everything and won it again. I wanted to try a new experience, just as I will change again. There is so much more to my life than football."

"We have some problems [with injuries] and we need to find a way to solve them. We are missing all of our central defenders at the moment and no one is really available.

"Of course, we have Serdar Tasci and [Medhi] Benatia. One has just arrived and the other has only resumed training three or four days ago but that is the situation and we shouldn't complain and try to work with the players that are available."

Possible starting XIs
Juventus: Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Barzagli, Bonucci, Evra; Cuadrado, Khedira, Marchisio, Pogba; Dybala, Mandzukic.
Bayern Munich: Neuer; Lahm, Kimmich, Alaba, Bernat; Vidal; Robben, Muller, Thiago, Costa; Lewandowski.

What are the odds?

Juventus – 12/5
Draw – 11/4
Bayern Munich – 5/4

What are they saying?

"I expect a lot of goals," Massimiliano Allegri, the Juventus coach, said on Monday. "When I said I'd settle for a scoreless draw last year I received hundreds of insults from angry fans.

"But it would be a good result all round. At the very least, it's crucial we don't concede."

"We've got to attack intelligently and avoid conceding set-pieces as they are maybe the best team in Europe from set pieces," said Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola.

"Juve, naturally, have achieved a lot in the past four years, first with [Antonio] Conte and now with [Massimiliano] Allegri, they've managed to achieve great things.

"Juventus always approach each match with the attitude that they must win it. They didn't get off to a very good start this season but they've now... shown great quality so I believe this will be an interesting match.

"It would be important for us to score an away goal, but Juve have a very strong defence and it's up to us to play with intelligence. We'll try to win the first leg and then control the second."

What is their form coming into this game?

Juventus are currently top of Serie A and lead second-placed Napoli by a point following their 1-1 draw with AC Milan on Monday night. Juve have won 15 and drawn one of their last 16, making up for a disastrous start to the season.

Bayern Munich, meanwhile, look almost certain to win an unprecedented fourth straight Bundesliga title after eight wins and a draw in their last nine league matches helped them go eight points clear of Borussia Dortmund at the top.

Who will win?

Don't be surprised if the game turns out to be a cagey affair, but Telegraph Sport is opting for 2-1 to Juventus.
