Italian giants Juventus will take on Nantes in the first leg of the Round of 16 UEFA Europa League fixture at the Allianz Stadium on February 17.

**************************************
The Turin-based club have had to deal with several obstacles both on and off the field. Financial irregularities and resulting points deduction place them in a distant ninth position on the Serie A table with 29 points from 22 games. Juventus had a forgettable UEFA Champions League campaign, which saw them get demoted to the Europa League. Meanwhile, they won their last two games in the Italian top-flight league and would be hoping to continue that momentum on Friday.
Nantes have been struggling domestically this season. They are 13th in Ligue 1 with 28 points from 23 games, winning just six games in the process. However, they have won their last two games and head into this fixture on the back of a 1-0 victory against Lorient. The Italian club would consider themselves favourites to clinch a result, whereas, the French club will be hoping to pull off an upset.
