Juventus vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction & Picks - Champions League
by Simon Day | in Champions League Picks
Juventus host Eindhoven in their opening Champions League game of the season, with both teams coming into the game in strong domestic form. Juve have two wins plus two draws from their opening four Serie A games, without conceding a goal in the process. However, preserving that remarkable defensive record will be a tough ask against an Eindhoven team that has scored 20 goals in their five Eredivisie games so far this season. In last season's Champions League, Eindhoven qualified for the last 16 before being edged out by Dortmund in the round of 16. Since reaching the final in 2017, Juve's Champions League form has been less than impressive. They missed out on the competition last season, whilst in the 2022-2023 season, they lost five of their six games to finish bottom of their group.

Juventus - PSV Eindhoven: Form Analysis
Juventus Turin return to the top of Serie A after a rather complicated 2023-2024 season on the pitch and behind the scenes. The Old Lady have been unbeaten in Calcio since the start of the 2024-2025 season, and have achieved 4 clean-sheets in 4 official matches against Como (3-0), Hellas Verona (0-3), AS Roma (0-0) and most recently Empoli (0-0).
PSV Eindhoven have also been treading water since the start of the new season. Bosz's side, who were eliminated in the final of the Johan Cruyff Shield against Feyenoord (4-4, 2 tab 4) at the beginning of August, are enjoying a perfect run in the Eredivisie, with 5 wins in 5 rounds against Waalwijk (5-1), Heracles (1-3), Almere City (1-7), G.A.Eagles (3-0) and Nijmegen (2-0) this weekend. Will the Dutch attack, which has scored 20 goals in 5 matches, an average of 4 goals per game, break through the Italian net for the first time this season?

Juventus & PSV Eindhoven Squad Analysis
Juventus Turin will play this first Champions League match without Conceiçao (muscle injury), Milik (knee) and Pogba (doping). Young midfielder Adzic, injured, remains a doubt. PSV Eindhoven travel to Italy without Fofana (knee) and Lozano (muscle injury). Two players from the Dutch club remain uncertain: American Dest (knee) and Dutchman Obispo (knee).
Juve's biggest strength since the arrival of Thiago Motta on the bench this summer has been defense! Indeed, the Old Lady have rediscovered their defensive strength, having conceded no goals in 4 official matches. Dusan Vlahovic, scorer of a brace against Hellas Verona, is off to a good start this season and should be a real threat to the Dutch defense.
PSV will be playing in Turin without their top scorer Hirving Lozano (4 goals), who is injured. The Dutch club will be able to count on two other players, midfielder Guus Til (3 goals) and striker Luuk de Jong (2 goals).

Our Juventus vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction
On the face of it, Eindhoven look like a formidable proposition for any team at the minute. However, it is important to note the fairly weak nature of their recent opponents. A trip to Turin represents a huge step up from the likes of Hercules, Almere City and the Go Ahead Eagles. As such, we think they will struggle to replicate their incredible domestic goalscoring form. When you also factor in Juve's incredible defence, but middle-of-the-road attack, this has the potential to be a very low scoring game. Our prediction for Juventus vs Eindhoven is: Under 2.5 goals, +112 at FanDuel.
