Lyon will face Juventus on Thursday in the round of 16 knockout fixture of the UEFA Champions League 2019-20. The Champions League 2019-20 Lyon vs Juventus will be played at Parc Olympique Lyonnais.
The hosts are currently at number 7 at the Ligue 1 points table, while Juventus are leading the Serie A points table with the difference of one point with second-placed Lazio.
