Overview
After the first leg, Juventus had the advantage when they beat PSV 2-1 in Turin. Juventus' confidence has also increased with very high performance in recent times.
Coach Thiago Motta's team has won all 4 recent matches, most recently a 1-0 victory over Inter Milan. The good results of recent times will help Juventus feel confident in their upcoming trip to the Netherlands.
Randal Kolo Muani was still a strong attack threat for Juventus despite not scoring in the first leg. With 5 goals in just 4 appearances for Turin club, this striker will need to be of interest to PSV.
As for PSV, they are in poor form, having won only 1, drawn 3 and lost 1 in their last 5 matches. However, the Dutch representative did not play badly at home. This season, PSV have not lost a match when playing at Phillips Stadium.
In the Champions League, PSV beat Liverpool at home, which was the only loss for The Kop in the Champions League this season. Therefore, PSV cannot be underestimated when they play at their home ground.
However, in the upcoming match, PSV will face a difficult challenge, because Juventus is not forced to win. Under coach Thiago Motta, Juventus is a very practical team and good at defending. Overcoming a quality, well-organized defense of the Italian representative is a very difficult task for Peter Bosz's team.
Johan Bakayoko has always been active in PSV's attack and has scored 3 goals in the last 6 matches in all competitions. The striker also scored in the win over Liverpool.
