AS Monaco take on Juventus in the second leg quarter-final of the Champions League at the Stade Louis II as they look to overcome the first leg deficit.
The Ligue 1 side were very unlucky to lose against Juventus in the first leg as they played well despite the Old Lady dominating possession in Turin.
Both sides created a number of chances during that game, but they failed to convert, and the game was finally decided by Arturo Vidal's 57th minute penalty.
Although Monaco will definitely be disappointed by the result in Turin, they still have everything to play for in the second leg as Juventus' advantage is very narrow and they do have a chance of progressing to the semi-final of the Champions League.
However, things will certainly not be easy for Monaco in the second leg, and Monaco boss Leonardo Jardim admits that his side need to have a perfect match against the Old Lady in the second leg if they want to progress to the next round of the Champions League.
"We need to have the perfect match, with good defensive organisation and a clinical edge in attack," said Jardim, according to UEFA's official website. "We tend to score more away and I would like us to start doing the same at home – like we did against Zenit [Monaco beat them 2-0 at Stade Louis II to advance on matchday six]."
The 40-year-old Portuguese insists that his side will have to take a certain number of "calculated risks" on Wednesday due to them already trailing from the first leg.
"We will take some calculated risks to go through. We will play intelligently and aim to score goals without conceding," he added. "We have to keep calm heads, though. We like playing in full stadiums, it gives us more motivation. But let's not forget that there will be Juventus fans here as well."
Juventus, meanwhile, will be a lot calmer going into this fixture as they only need to record a goal-less draw in order to progress to the next round of the Champions League.
However, Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri insists that his side will be trying to score goals on Wednesday.
"I don't know for certain what Monaco's tactics will be, but we will try to score as we know what they're about," the former AC Milan boss told UEFA's official website.
Allegri insists that Juventus have a good chance of progressing even further in the Champions League this season, and whether they do so not all lies in their own hand.
"It could come down to the finer details. We are in the quarter-finals, we have a chance of going through, and whether we do or not depends on ourselves. We are not that far into the competition yet; we can go even further. But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves," he added. "My team has great quality, good character. We have the ability to progress and tomorrow we will need to be brave and focused."
