Juventus did not have a very good finish at the season but they still managed to capture the title in the Serie A. They will now have to find at least one goal in the second leg of their Europa League tie against Lyon in order to match the score from the first leg.

Juventus were really relaxed, or maybe even complacent, in their final matches of the season, winning just two of their last eight (2-4-2). They kept just one clean sheet in their last ten matches and even conceded multiple goals on six occasions. Juve have scored at least two goals in each of their last 12 home wins, while keeping seven clean sheets in the process. However, they kept just one clean sheet in their last five.

Lyon came back from a five-month absence to fight a tough match against PSG in the Cup final. They did manage to cut off their opponents and even created a lot of chances. But after a goal-less draw, PSG won in the shoot-out. That match means that just one of their last six matches featured goals from both sides. Lyon have won just once in their last six away matches for the Champions League (1-3-2). Early goals is a thing for Lyon this season, with goals withing the 30 first minutes in six of their last seven away matches in the competition.

Juventus are traditionally a defensive side but this season, and even more so lately, they have not been that strong. They conceded goals at an alarming rate in their last ten matches of the season but it might have been partly due to the lockdown and partly due to the fact that they were really close to clinching the title. Taking the Under 2.75 Goals here, as both teams will approach this carefully.
