Juventus vs PSV Eindhoven prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – February 11, 2025
In the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, Juventus will face PSV. The match is scheduled to take place in Turin on Tuesday, February 11, with kick-off at 21:00 Central European Time. Here’s my pick for the goal total in this game.
Match Preview
Juventus has not been able to boast positive results this season, or rather, they have failed to meet the expectations of their fans. Under Thiago Motta, the team has won only 3 of their last 10 matches across all competitions.
Despite just one loss in Serie A, Juventus is fighting for a top-4 finish but has no chance of reclaiming the Italian football throne. In the Champions League, the "Old Lady" also failed to impress, finishing in 20th place overall. Notably, both of their losses came in home matches.
PSV, meanwhile, has not looked as dominant domestically this season, allowing Ajax to close the gap on them. However, under Ruud Bosz, the team has scored an impressive 14 goals in their last five matches, showcasing excellent attacking form.
One of these matches saw PSV take down Liverpool, handing the English side their first loss of the season in European competition. Interestingly, their recent draw against Willem could prove costly in their pursuit of the title.
Match Facts
- Juventus forward Kolo Muani has scored 5 goals in 3 matches for the Turin side.
- PSV has conceded goals in their last six away games.
- Juventus averages 1.8 goals per game at home, while PSV averages 1.4 goals per game on the road.
Probable Lineups
- Juventus: Di Gregorio, Weah, Gatti, Veiga, Savona, Locatelli, Koopmeiners, McKennie, Yildiz, Gonzalez, Kolo Muani.
- PSV Eindhoven: Benitez, Obispo, Junior, Boscalia, Karsdorp, Saybari, Verman, Land, Bakayoko, Till, Pepi.
Head-to-Head
The teams met last fall in the group stage of the competition. Juventus won 3-1 at home in Turin.
Prediction
The Italian side is the favorite on their home turf and will look to gain an advantage ahead of the return leg. I believe the game will be exciting, and I’m betting on a total of over 2 goals.
