Juventus and Chelsea will face-off in the return leg of their Champions League tie at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin and Bianconeri goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon is confident that he and his team-mates can overturn the 1-0 defeat suffered two weeks ago.

"Against Chelsea, we must play like we have done on the road in the Champions League [this season]. We can battle hard and reverse the result in London," suggested the Italian international, according to Datasport.

This past week, Buffon claimed that a Turin derby win would assist in building Juventus' confidence ahead of their highly-anticipated clash against Guus Hiddink's men and that is exactly what occurred, as the Bianonceri won by a slim 1-0 scoreline on Saturday.

"We are all happy with the outcome of the derby and the satisfaction we were able to give to our fans," explained the 31-year-old.

"I think that by the end of the championship, they will be able to save themselves, so next year we will be able to have another special match."

Juventus and Chelsea will kick-off at 20:45 CET on Tuesday and Buffon will have to put in a solid performance in order to keep the Pensioners from finding a significant away goal.
