Juventus vs Borussia Dortmund prediction 16.09.2025 | UEFA Champions League

Juventus turn their attention to Champions League affairs after a truly remarkable 4:3 win against Inter in Serie A last weekend. In a topsy-turvy affair, Vasilije Adžić's stoppage-time goal secured a huge victory for Igor Tudor's side.

The Old Lady have enjoyed a positive start to the new season, picking up three successive victories in Serie A, extending their winning run to five matches. 

Strong in Turin, Juve lost just one of 19 home Serie A games last season, and they will be hopeful of taking that strong form into continental competition. 

A high-scoring contest could be on the cards in Turin. Juventus have seen over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight matches and in three of four previous encounters against Dortmund. Four of their last six games also finished with both teams scoring, including Saturday's seven-goal thriller against Inter. 

Head coach Tudor has three confirmed absentees this week. Juan Cabal, Arkadiusz Milik and Nicolò Savona will not feature for the home side.

Dortmund arrive in Italy on the back of a comfortable 2:0 Bundesliga victory against Heidenheim on Saturday. In-form Guinean forward Serhou Guirassy was on the scoresheet in a routine victory for Niko Kovač's side. 

BVB have enjoyed a strong start to the new season, picking up three wins and one draw from four games played. 

Usually a reliable choice to get on the scoresheet, Kovač's side bagged eight goals in their last three games, and should be confident of troubling a Juventus side that leaked three in their remarkable win against Inter.

Head coach Kovač is likely to keep faith with the same side that eased past Heidenheim. Nico Schlotterbeck, Emre Can, Julien Duranville, Niklas Süle and Fábio Silva are expected to remain unavailable for the trip to Turin.
