Juventus resume their Champions League campaign this evening with PSV Eindhoven the visitors to Turin.
Thiago Motta’s side host the Dutch champions in the first leg of their play-off tie. After a strong start in the league phase, Juventus won just one of their final fix games to drop into the play-off positions.
It’s the second meeting between the teams in the Champions League this season, after Juventus won 3-1 in Italy on matchday one of the league phase.
That result aside, goals were an issue for the Bianconeri, who netted just nine times in eight European games. However, the January signing of Randal Kolo Muani has proven a success so far. The French forward has scored five times in three games since arriving on loan from Paris Saint-Germain last month.
PSV enter the clash in mixed form with one win in five Eredivisie games having seen Ajax overhaul them in the title race.
Kolo Muani is expected to make his European debut for Juventus after a brilliant start in Turin. The 26-year-old should get the nod over leading scorer Dusan Vlahovic to lead the line.
Pierre Kalulu is one of five expected absentees for Thiago Motta. The defender is out with a muscular issue and joins Bremer, Juan Cabral, Andrea Cambiaso and Arkadiusz Milik on the sidelines.
Juventus predicted XI: Di Gregorio; Weah, Gatti, Veiga, Savona; McKennie, Locatelli; Gonzalez, Koopmeiners, Yildiz; Kolo Muani.
Juventus host PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League’s play-off round on Tuesday 11th February 2025.
In the United Kingdom (UK), the UEFA Champions League match between Juventus and PSV will be available to watch and stream online live through TNT Sports 1.
