Juventus vs PSV Predictions: The Old Lady will kick-start their Champions League campaign against reigning Eredivisie champions
UEFA Champions League is back for another blockbuster season as Italian heavyweight Juventus will host reigning Eredivisie champions, PSV Eindhoven on matchday 1 at the Allianz Stadium on September 17.
The Old Lady under the tutelage of their new coach, Thiago Motta looked like a well-oiled unit. They are hoping to announce their return to the Champions League with a resounding win but they can’t afford to take things lightly against PSV. Juventus reached the Champions League finals in 2015 and 2017 but in recent times they have flattered to deceive. But their fans will hope that they regain their lost glory in Europe under Motta.
Meanwhile, PSV showed great dominance in the Eredivisie last season as they lifted their 25th league title. Peter Bosz’s men were crowned as Dutch champions with two games to spare whilst marking their first league win since 2018.
They also did well in the Champions League last season as they finished second in a group that had teams like Arsenal, Sevilla and Lens. PSV were eventually knocked out of the competition in the round of 16 by Borussia Dortmund. They will hope to continue the same momentum this season in Europe and will surely put up a good fight against Juventus.

Head-to-Head Report: Juventus vs PSV
Notably, this is the first-ever meeting between Juventus and PSV. However, the last time Juventus faced a Dutch opponent was back in the 2018-19 season when they lost 2-3 on aggregate against Ajax and got knocked out of the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
Meanwhile, PSV have never won any of their away games against Italian teams in the Champions League, resulting in two draws and six defeats. They only found the net in two of those six trips.
Juventus
The Bianconeri have started the 2024-25 campaign with a lot of promise with the appointment of Thiago Motta at the helm. Juventus started the new season with a couple of 3-0 thumpings against Como and Verona respectively. They followed it up with a couple of 0-0 draws against AS Roma and Empoli. They have collected eight points from their first four Serie A matches this season, without conceding a single goal.
Motta has brought a lot of stability throughout the field and they have looked really solid in defence. The Italian will also look to focus on attack as they head up to this cracking contest against PSV. The likes of Dusan Vlahovic, Kenan Yildiz, Samuel Mbangula and Manuel Localetti amongst others will look to prove a point in Europe this season. They also have a very underrated backline led by Gleison Bremer and Federico Gatti.
PSV
After winning the Eredivisie title last season, Peter Bosz will look to do better in the Champions League this time. They reached the round of 16 in the last campaign but this time with a changed format, the Dutch outfit will look to fancy their chances to go deep in the competition. They need to start on a positive note as they travel to the Allianz Stadium to face Juventus.
PSV have continued their dominance in the Netherlands this season. Winning their first five Eredivisie fixtures whilst scoring 20 goals. Bosz prefers a very high-intensity playing style and it suits perfectly for the likes of Hirving Lozano, Guus Til and Johan Bakayoko. Lozano has already netted four goals as he leads the goalscoring charts, closely followed by Til with three league goals. Their fast-paced attackers will look to trouble the Juventus defenders, especially in the wider areas.
