Juventus marks their return to the UEFA Champions League following a one-year hiatus with a home opener against PSV Eindhoven at Allianz Stadium on Tuesday night.
Due to violations of financial fair play rules, the Turin giants were expelled from all three European competitions by UEFA last season, but they used this as an opportunity to focus on Serie A, where their third-place finish secured a swift return to the Champions League. By focusing solely on their domestic duties last term, Juventus also enjoyed a remarkable Coppa Italia campaign, securing their 15th trophy in the tournament’s history by defeating Atalanta in the final thanks to a solitary strike from Dusan Vlahovic.
The first European test for the Old Lady comes against PSV Eindhoven, a team that had the most dominant campaign ever on their way to lifting the Eredivisie title last term, having racked up an imposing 29 wins out of 34 rounds in the season and netted a phenomenal 111 goals. Title number 25 in the Dutch top flight earned them a direct spot in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League for the second consecutive season, and De Rood-Witten will aim to at least match last year's achievement when they reached the round-16 before being knocked out by eventual finalists Dortmund.
Juventus vs PSV Eindhoven Betting Tips: JUVENTUS TO WIN
Both sides begin their European journey with high confidence built from robust starts to their domestic campaigns, but we believe that Juventus has everything needed to mark their Champions League return after a one-year ban with a celebratory flair, although with a close scoreline. Although they failed to claim silverware earlier in August, suffering a penalty shootout defeat to Feyenoord after a 4-4 draw in regular time, Peter Bosz’s squad has made a stellar recovery by winning all four of their initial league games, kicking off their Eredivisie title defense in flawless fashion.
The attacking line of PSV Eindhoven strikes fear and awe, having scored a brilliant 22 goals across the first five competitive matches, but their league games so far with RKC Waalwijk, Heracles, Almere, and G.A. Eagles may not be a true measure of what awaits them on Tuesday. Indeed, if anyone has an antidote to PSV's lethal attacking line, it's certainly the Turin club, which has shown incredible solidity at the back, being the only team in Serie A with a clean sheet in the opening three games and having limited all opponents so far to just one shot on target.
Furthermore, Juventus’ home ground Allianz Stadium has become a fortress in recent months, as the Black-and-Whites have faced defeat only once in their last 24 matches at this venue, while seven of their last eight home games have seen them concede just once. Based on everything, we expect Juventus’ defense to maintain a high level of solidity on the European stage to neutralize PSV’s attacking firepower, while Vlahovic and co should be skilled enough to lead their team to three points in the Champions League opener.
Juventus team news
Francisco Conceicao, who joined on loan from Porto this summer, suffered a right leg muscle injury during a training session after the Roma match, and will be sidelined for at least two weeks.
Due to muscle injuries, Khephren Thuram missed the last two Serie A matches, but the international two-week break has given him the chance to recover in time for the European clash against PSV Eindhoven.

PSV Eindhoven team news
Meanwhile, Eindhoven club faces a lengthy injury list, with their defensive line particularly hard hit as Armando Obispo, Mauro Junior, Fredrik Oppegard, and former Barcelona full-back Sergino Dest are all sidelined.
Worse still, PSV will be without Mexican winger Hirving Lozano for a while after he sustained a muscle injury a few days ago, while Ismael Saibari continues to recover from a minor knock that kept him out of the first four Eredivisie matches.
