Juventus Team Preview
Juventus make their return to the Champions League after a year-long ban from European competition, eager to mark the occasion with a victory. The Bianconeri, led by new coach Thiago Motta, have focused on integrating younger players and fresh recruits to rebuild the squad after finishing third in Serie A last season.
Their defensive strength has been their hallmark so far, with four consecutive clean sheets in Serie A this season, marking a record start to their domestic campaign. While their attack hasn’t been particularly sharp in recent weeks, with Dusan Vlahovic struggling to find the net in three out of four games, their defensive solidity makes them a formidable opponent, especially at home.
Juventus are determined to make a strong start, and with players like Teun Koopmeiners and Douglas Luiz adding depth and creativity in midfield, the Italian giants will look to break their attacking drought against a PSV side that has shown vulnerability in Europe.
PSV Eindhoven Team Preview
PSV Eindhoven enter this match riding high on confidence after winning their first Eredivisie title in five years. The Dutch champions, under the guidance of Peter Bosz, have been a force to reckon with domestically, winning all five league games this season with an impressive 20 goals scored and just three conceded. Their form, stretching back to last season, has been nothing short of exceptional, and they remain unbeaten in 11 of their last 12 Eredivisie games.
However, their Champions League away form leaves much to be desired. PSV have historically struggled in Europe, with only one win in their last 17 away matches in the competition. Despite this, PSV’s attacking players, such as Luuk de Jong and Guus Til, have been in red-hot form, and the team will be hoping to break their poor run of away performances in Turin.
With a potent attack and some key players like Noa Lang and Ismael Saibari returning to the fold, PSV will look to upset Juventus on their home turf, though they face an uphill battle given their European struggles away from home.
