Aston Villa have failed to win in their last six-games in all competitions
Juventus have secured four draws and two wins in their last six games.
Aston Villa will seek a home victory on Wednesday evening 27/11/2024, when they host Italian giants Juventus.
While Unai Emery's men have recently faltered, they previously won two wins from two at Villa Park in Europe's top competition - although defeat would see Juve overtake them in the league table.
Aston Villa started their first Champions League campaign with three straight wins, seeing off Young Boys in Switzerland, before memorably beating Bayern Munich in Birmingham, where Bologna were also dispatched three weeks later.
Earlier this month, though, the Premier League side suffered a 1-0 loss away to Club Brugge, amid a significant downturn in fortunes both in Europe and on the domestic scene.
Villa have won only five of their first 12 league matches following a 2-2 home draw with struggling Crystal Palace last weekend, when they twice had to come from behind to snatch a point, with Ross Barkley scoring a late leveller at Villa Park.
Just before the international break, a 2-0 loss at Liverpool was the Villans' fourth in a row across all competitions, and they have recently slipped down to eighth place in the English top flight.
Nonetheless, they have won eight of their last nine European games on home turf, with the exception being a first-leg defeat by Olympiacos in last term's Conference League semi-finals.
Such is his vast experience in Europe, Unai Emery has already beaten Juventus twice before in the Champions League.
