The first leg is played in Turin on Tuesday evening and a spot in the final four is at stake.
“The Bianconeri have a great team, even without Paul Pogba, with formidable players and a solid team ethic,” Moutinho told Tuttosport.
“They are the favourites to reach the semi-final, but Arsenal were the favourites against us and we still eliminated them.

The first leg is played in Turin on Tuesday evening and a spot in the final four is at stake.
“The Bianconeri have a great team, even without Paul Pogba, with formidable players and a solid team ethic,” Moutinho told Tuttosport.
“They are the favourites to reach the semi-final, but Arsenal were the favourites against us and we still eliminated them.
“We’ll do anything to win in Turin and then the home leg, so we must be concentrated for the full 180 minutes. I think we’ll have to double our efforts.”
Monaco eliminated Arsenal thanks to a 3-1 victory in London, which saw them through on away goals despite losing the second leg 2-0.
Jeremy Toulalan is a major injury doubt after hobbling off during the 3-0 win at Caen on Friday.
“Obviously it’d be better if he recovers, but if not then we have others who can fill in for him.
“Who is the most dangerous Juve player? I’d say Carlos Tevez, as he is so strong and determined. Any distraction could be lethal.
“I’ve never played at the Juventus Stadium, but they tell me there’s a great atmosphere. The stadium could also do well for us and I hope our fans will show their passion in the second leg.
“We want to reach the Final and will give 200 per cent to reach our objective.”
