Juventus vs PSV Eindhoven Preview
Juventus
In the first two rounds of Serie A, Juventus demolished Como and Verona with 3-0 victories. However, the fans saw two disappointing goalless draws in their next two matches against Roma and Empoli.
Even more worrying is that the Old Lady had less than 0.88 xG on both occasions. Still, we should also note Juventus’s defensive display, as they have kept a clean sheet in five consecutive games.

The main advantage of Juventus over PSV is the difference in player quality and squad depth. We should also note Juve’s well-established ball control – the hosts can control the tempo of the game and put up defensive barriers.
Juve have minor injury worries. Arkadiusz Milik and Francisco Conceição will be out of contention, but they are not indispensable to the starting lineup.
PSV Eindhoven
PSV, reigning Eredivisie champions, have started the new season confidently, winning the first five rounds of the Eredivisie with a staggering goal difference of 20-3. The attack of the team from Eindhoven shone, and every opponent they faced conceded at least two goals.

The most noticeable player in the PSV squad is the evergreen Luuk de Jong, who’s no stranger to the big stage after stints with Sevilla and Barcelona. The veteran forward already has six goals and assists in his account, proving he’s still got plenty left in the tank.
Despite the excellent start of the season, PSV will now face a completely different team. Considering Juve’s recent woes with scoring, the guests will probably rely on the defence, but they allow too many simple errors in the back.
PSV have one major loss in their squad; right-back Sergiño Dest, who suffered a knee injury back in April. Richard Ledesma is tipped to fill the void in the defensive line.

Considering the difference in the players’ levels, Juventus are the favourites in the upcoming encounter. PSV has had notable defensive issues recently, and they will find it hard to keep a clean sheet against their opponents. Moreover, Peter Bosz’s attacking style rarely sees his teams park the bus.

We think that in an open game, the Old Lady will come out on top. While Bosz had experience coaching Dortmund, Leverkusen and Lyon, he frequently struggled in big matches.
Given this track record, we don’t think the guests have enough quality to achieve a positive result in this match. At home, Juventus will be motivated and start their campaign with a victory over PSV.
Juventus vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Juventus Over 1.5 Goals
- Odds: 1.79 (22Bet)
Juventus’ last two matches ended in a goalless draw, while PSV has terrific wingers such as Johan Bakayoko and Mallick Tilman. With such a great attacking potential they will certainly create chances in the offence.

However, PSV’s backline has been far from watertight. Even against modest opposition, they’ve conceded 1.17 goals per game, including their clash with Feyenoord. Now they’re up against a Juve side with a more potent attacking threat.
Given this, we don’t see the Bianconeri settling for a single goal. After two lacklustre performances, they need to bounce back with a convincing victory, and we can expect the Old Lady to score at least twice against PSV Eindhoven.
