Juventus can seal qualification with Lyon repeat win

One more victory will put Juventus through to the knockout rounds and, after beating Olympique Lyonnais through Juan Cuadrado's goal on matchday three, they will be confident of completing the job.

• Gianluigi Buffon saved a penalty from Alexandre Lacazette and continued to keep the home team at bay even after Juve had lost Mario Lemina to a second yellow card.

• Juventus won home and away when the sides met in the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League quarter-final.

• Samuel Umtiti's own goal gave Juve a 2-1 second-leg win in Turin (and 3-1 success overall) after Jimmy Briand had equalised for Rémi Garde's Lyon following Andrea Pirlo's early strike. 

• Antonio Conte's Juve had seized the advantage in France when Leonardo Bonucci scored with five minutes remaining. They went out to SL Benfica in the semi-final, 2-1 on aggregate.

• The line-ups at the Juventus Stadium on 10 April 2014 were:
Juve:Buffon, Martín Cáceres, Bonucci, Isla, Chiellini, Asamoah, Pirlo, Vidal (Pogba 75), Marchisio, Tévez (Giovinco 78), Vučinić (Llorente 59).

• The Bianconeri are on an 18-match (W10 D8) unbeaten home run in UEFA competition, dating back to a 2-0 loss to FC Bayern München. In last season's group stage they did not concede a goal at home, beating Sevilla and Manchester City FC.
