Juventus are on the road on Matchday 4 of the League Phase of this season's UEFA Champions League, looking to bounce back from defeat to Stuttgart last time out with a positive result against Lille.

Before Tuesday's 21:00 CEST kick-off, here's a quick rundown ahead of the Bianconeri's continental tie:

NEVER BEFORE | This will be the first ever meeting between Lille and Juventus in all competitions.

ITALIAN DIFFICULTY | Lille have won just one of their four matches (1D, 2L) against Italian sides in the Champions League, namely a 2-0 victory over AC Milan in December 2006.

FRENCH FOES | Juventus have lost three of their last four Champions League matches (1W) played against French opponents, including both ties against PSG in the 2022/23 season.

FIRST-TIMERS | Nine different players have made their Champions League debut with Juventus this season, namely Kenan Yildiz, Andrea Cambiaso, Nico Gonzalez, Douglas Luiz, Michele Di Gregorio, Nicolo Savona, Vasilije Adzic, Jonas Rouhi and Juan Cabal: this is the highest number of debutant players for the Bianconeri in a season since 2012/2013 (11 in that case).

CHANGE APLENTY | Lille have changed 10 players in their starting XI in the Champions League this season: no team has made more over the first three matches (Salzburg also made 10).
