Juventus started the fight in the tournament from the group stage. Massimiliano Allegri's team qualified for the playoffs from first place in Group H, where it scored 15 points in confrontations against Chelsea (1-0 and 0-4), Zenit St. Petersburg (1-0 and 4-2), and Malmo FF (3-0 and 1-0). The Old Lady is approaching a home game with Villarreal with a 12-match unbeaten streak in all competitions. In the last four games in Serie A and the Coppa Italia, the Zebras achieved only victories. On March 12, Juventus won the third match in a row in the championship. Allegri's men defeated Sampdoria in Genoa (1-3). Alvaro Morata scored a brace, and the Genoese defender Maya Yoshida turned the ball into his own net in the middle of the 1st half.

Having won the 2020/21 Europa League, Villarreal got in the group stage of the Champions League. Unai Emery's team took second place in Group F, earning ten points in matches against Manchester United (1-2 and 0-2), Atalanta (2-2 and 3-2), and Young Boys (4-1 and 2-0). The Yellow Submarine has also rarely lost in recent weeks. In the last eight official games, Emery's men lost only to Osasuna away (1-0). The other matches ended in five victories and two draws. On March 12, Villarreal dealt with Celta Vigo at home (1-0). The hosts earned three points thanks to Daniel Parejo's goal and extended their home unbeaten streak to eight matches.
The first part of the confrontation between Villarreal and Juventus took place in Spain on February 22. The match in Villarreal ended in a 1-1 draw. Dusan Vlahovic scored for the Old Lady in the 1st minute, and Daniel Parejo equalized in the middle of the 2nd half. Due to the abolition of the away goal rule, the teams will actually start the confrontation from scratch. In the first leg, the opponents tried to play carefully and pragmatically, and their desire for reliability in defense will only increase. The cost of a mistake will be high, so we are unlikely to see a goal show.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
