In their eighth appearance in the UEFA Champions League, Lille have avoided defeat in each of their first four matches in a single campaign for the first time.
Juventus have conceded at least once in each of their last 12 UEFA Champions League games, extending their longest ever run in the competition without a clean sheet.
Jonathan David’s opener for Lille was his 10th goal in his last nine appearances in all competitions. Overall, he has 13 goals in all competitions this term, more than any other Ligue 1 player.
This is the first ever meeting between Lille and Juventus in any competition.
Lille have only won one of their four games against Italian teams in the UEFA Champions League (D1 L2), beating Milan 2-0 in December 2006.
Juventus have lost three of their last four UEFA Champions League matches against French opponents (W1), including both against Paris SG in the 2022-23 campaign.
With just three games played in the UEFA Champions League this season (W2 L1), Lille are already just one victory away from equalling their most in a single edition of the competition (3 in 2021-22).
After winning their first two UEFA Champions League matches under Thiago Motta (v PSV and RB Leipzig), Juventus were beaten by Stuttgart on home soil last time out.
