The Spaniards won the first leg 1-0 and a goalless draw in Italy would see them through to the quarter-finals, but the French playmaker insisted they will adopt an attacking approach to try and kill off their last 16 tie.

"We aim to score a goal in Turin and I think we will do that," said Zidane, who played for the Italian club for six years before moving to Madrid in 2001.

"If we don't concede a goal in the first 30 minutes then I think we have a great chance of getting a positive result.

"I expect Juve to be very aggressive, but that will suit us as we will have more space to hit them on the counter-attack."

Zidane, who scored the winning goal for Real in the 2002 Champions League final against Bayer Leverkusen, singled out Juve's Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic as a major threat to the 'Galacticos'.

"When you look at the Juve team there are plenty of great players, but Ibrahimovic has impressed me a lot this season," Zidane said of the former Ajax forward who has scored 10 league goals.

"Not only does he score, but he's provided many assists."

With Real eight points adrift of Barcelona in the Spanish league, the Champions League perhaps represents their best chance of silverware and Zidane's midfield partner Guti is desperate not to end the season empty-handed.

"The whole season is riding on this match - it would be a tragedy if we didn't go through," he said.

"It's going to be a tough battle, but if we get a goal it will make it very difficult for Juve."

Juventus captain Alessandro Del Piero stressed there was no margin for error against predators such as Raul and Ronaldo.

"We have to give the perfect performance," said the Italy international.

Juve coach Fabio Capello, whose side share first place in Serie A with AC Milan, remains confident of overturning the deficit in front of a 65,000 sell-out as the Delle Alpi stadium.

"It wont be easy, but we have every chance of turning the tie around," he said. "Of course, to lose 2-1 would have been better, but we are at home and will have the crowd behind us. The main danger will be Real's counter-attacks."

Zidane will definitely start for Madrid having recovered from a muscle strain, but there are doubts about David Beckham who strained his back in Saturday's 1-1 draw away to Valencia.

Beckham's England team-mate Michael Owen has recovered from a stomach bug, while striker Raul has overcome the flu.

Marauding wing-back Michel Salgado is ruled out for Real with a knee injury.

French striker David Trezeguet, who has recently returned to action after being struck down by a virus, should start for the home side, but Pavel Nedved is unlikely to feature.

The dynamic Czech midfielder was knocked unconscious in the first leg in Madrid and has not played since.

Madrid have visited Italy 22 times in European competition, winning five, drawing four and losing 13.
