Real Madrid vs. Juventus: Preview, Live Stream, TV Info for UCL Match

Juventus will face a nearly impossible task on Wednesday, as the Italian champions try to overturn a three-goal deficit against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

The defending champions cruised to a 3-0 win in Turin, and barring a major meltdown, they will advance to the semi-finals.

Juventus' slim chances won't be boosted by the absence of Paulo Dybala, who was sent off in the first leg. The Bianconeri will have several key players return to the fold, however.

Date: Wednesday, April 11

Time: 7:45 p.m. BST/2:45 p.m. ET

Venue: Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid

Juventus

Miralem Pjanic and Medhi Benatia return for the Italian champions, who sorely missed the duo in the first leg. The former is the team's creative heartbeat in midfield, while the latter has been their best defender this season.

Their returns are offset by suspensions for Dybala and Rodrigo Bentancur, however, and once again, the Old Lady will face Real short-handed.

While Dybala was far from his best in the first leg, he reminded everyone of his talent in the weekend, scoring a hat-trick in the win over Benevento. He's been a key performer in front of goal for Juventus:

Without the Argentine, the scoring onus will likely fall on compatriot Gonzalo Higuain, and even for the former Napoli man, overturning a three-goal deficit at the Bernabeu is likely too tall a task.

Juventus had their chances in the first leg and probably should have gotten at least one or two goals, but they also gave away far too much space on the other end of the pitch. With Los Blancos in excellent attacking form, keeping them from scoring on Wednesday will be extremely difficult.

Real Madrid

Los Blancos didn't take major risks in the derby against Atletico Madrid, with Luka Modric and Karim Benzema starting on the bench and Cristiano Ronaldo coming off early, despite the score at the time.

The Portuguese star could have aided in a late push for the win, but instead manager Zinedine Zidane settled for a 1-1 draw. Given the fact the La Liga race is all but over, it was a decision fans didn't have any problems with.

Los Blancos will be without the suspended Sergio Ramos, and their defensive depth going into the contest is slim. Many assumed highly touted prospect Jesus Vallejo was in line for the start, but he's a major question mark with a knock, per AS English:

If Casemiro is forced into a defensive role, Mateo Kovacic could move into the starting XI. The Croat started against Atletico alongside Toni Kroos in midfield.

Prediction

Juventus have enjoyed tons of success against Real in two-legged knockout ties over the years, having advanced from every such encounter between the two. That run ends on Wednesday, however, as Los Blancos won't surrender such a huge advantage.

Final result: Real Madrid 2-1 Juventus
