Galatasaray vs Juventus: Champions League preview
Galatasaray's two-legged tie against Juventus will be of particular interest to fans of two of the already qualified teams from the Premier League. The winner will face either Liverpool or Tottenham Hotspur in the round of 16 in March.
The Istanbul giants clinched their unseeded play-off spot with a home draw against Atletico Madrid before closing out their league phase campaign with a 2-0 defeat at Manchester City.
They've faced Liverpool already, picking up their first Champions League win of the league phase against the Reds in September before victories at Ajax and at home against Bodo/Glimt paved the way to a total of 10 points.
Juve's 13-point total left them in the middle of the seeded play-off places, three points away from automatic qualification, but they won the same number of games as their play-off opponents.
Under Luciano Spalletti, whose greatest achievement in management was a Serie A win with Napoli three years ago, Juventus defeated Bodo/Glimt, Pafos and Benfica in the league phase.
The 1995-96 Champions League winners are a long way off the pace in Serie A title terms and were knocked out of the Coppa Italia at the quarter-final stage earlier this month.
A return to European club football's premier competition is Spalletti's domestic focus but Juventus' path towards the only silverware on the table passes through one of the toughest away fixtures the continent has to offer.
