The most recent European meeting between these two teams was in 2022, when they faced each other in the round of 16 of the Champions League. Villarreal emerged victorious over the two fixures, winning 3:0 in Turin and drawing 1:1 in Spain.
Villarreal team overview
Villarreal were looking to secure a third consecutive win when they hosted Athletic Club on Saturday afternoon for Matchday 7 of the Spanish top-flight campaign. The Yellow Submarines emerged victorious following a very close game which was decided by just one goal.
Marcelino García Toral’s team have won five of their seven league games so far this season, but their European campaign got off to a poor start. They lost 1:0 away to Tottenham Hotspur in their opening game — failing to register a single shot on goal over the course of 90 minutes.
However, with three wins from their last four European home matches, they will be feeling confident ahead of Wednesday's clash with Juve. Pau Cabanas, Llagostera and Gerard Moreno (all injured) will not be available for the hosts.

Juventus team overview
Juventus remain unbeaten in all competitions this season, boasting four wins and three draws from seven matches.
The Old Lady have drawn the last three matches, including their Champions League clash with Dortmund in Turin. However, the way in which the young side kept their cool after falling behind in two of those matches — against Dortmund and Inter — was crucial.
Arkadiusz Milik has missed the last six games due to injury, and Wednesday’s game comes too soon for the forward. The visitors' injury list also includes Fabio Miretti and Francisco Conceição, who are dealing with hamstring and muscular problems respectively.

Prediction
With many of their key players available and in good form, Juventus are expected to extend their unbeaten run, although securing all three points is highly unlikely. The Old Lady have won only three of their last nine away games in all competitions and have won just once in their last nine European away games. Taking this into account, I am expecting a close game in which both sides could end up on the scoresheet.
Three reasons we expect both teams to score in this game
- Villarreal scored five goals in their last three games alone.
- Bets on BTTS – Yes won in all the last three European games of Villarreal.
- Juventus have scored in all their seven competitive games this season.
