Analysis and prediction for the match of the 1st round of the Champions League general phase “Juventus” – PSV (17.09.2024)
The first round of the Champions League general phase begins on 17 September. 36 teams will have to play eight matches. Four at home and, therefore, the same number in the away stadium. Due to the draw, Juventus did not have the best opponents. Even the match against PSV does not seem to be an easy test.

Last season, the Bianconeri finished third in the Italian championship and won the Coppa Italia. Despite this, Massimiliano Allegri was sacked for disciplinary reasons. He behaved inappropriately in the Coppa Italia final, coming into conflict with the referee and then with the editor of one of the popular publications. The coach also tore his clothes off on the pitch.
His place was taken by the talented Thiago Motta, who managed to turn Bologna into a Champions League participant last season. Without stars in the lineup and huge cash injections, he did the incredible. Thus, he earned an invitation to one of the strongest teams in Serie A.
Thanks to a new squad, interesting signings and the efforts of Motta, Juventus started Serie A with two victories. First they beat Como and then Verona by the same scoreline, 3-0. However, after such an easy start, two goalless draws followed: with Roma and Empoli. But the point is not even that, but the fact that the Bianconeri did not concede a single goal.
PSV is the reigning Dutch champion. The Eindhoven team had a very productive season, scoring 111 goals in 34 games. Luuk de Jong scored 29 goals and provided 15 assists. 21-year-old Joan Bakayoko scored 12 goals, Guus Thiel scored 10. Fortunately, they were spared from the off-season.

Peter Bosz’s team did not slow down. This season they won all five league games. They won against Waalwijk (5-1), Heracles (3-1), Almere City (7-1), Go Ahead Eagles (3-0) and NEC Nijmegen (2-0). Hirving Lozano had a great start, but suffered a minor injury. The rest of the managers are fit.
PSV is a mix of promising and experienced players. Both score. This is the whole difficulty for Juventus. The only thing that can save the Turin team from failure is a reliable defence. Thanks to this, Thiago Motta led Bologna to success. Therefore, the bet that Juventus will not lose and the total will be less than 3.5 goals is closer to the truth, by 1.78. The result 1:1 is quite possible.
Tender: Juventus will not lose and the total will be less than 3.5 goals at 1.78.
