Juventus vs PSV Prediction 11 February 2025

🔊 How will Juventus perform in their first playoff match in the Champions League? Despite finishing the group stage in 20th place, the "Old Lady" was fortunate with the draw. Thiago Motta's team will face PSV, but it's important not to underestimate an opponent that hasn't lost in 6 consecutive matches. We recommend checking out our prediction before placing a bet on the match, which will take place at the Allianz Stadium.

📊 Head-to-Head

Throughout history, Juventus and PSV have only met on the football field once. Strangely enough, the only game took place in the current Champions League season. The match occurred in mid-September (in the 1st round), and back then, the "Old Lady" defeated the visitors from Eindhoven (3-1) with the support of their home fans.

⚪ Juventus

Juventus approaches the upcoming clash having secured two consecutive victories. In reality, this is a very good result for the current "Old Lady." The team is not playing the highest quality football, is outside the top 4 in the Italian league standings, and barely made it to the Round of 16 in the Champions League. Even the recent win over Como (2-1) can't be called convincing. Statistically, Thiago Motta's team didn't even deserve a draw, but Randal Kolo-Muani, on loan from PSG this winter, once again rescued his teammates by scoring a double. As for the upcoming clash, the coaching staff shouldn't face serious problems with squad formation. Yes, there are 5 players in the infirmary, but all of them, including Bremer and Arkadiusz Milik, have been injured for quite some time.

🔴 PSV

At this moment, PSV is the strongest team in the Dutch league. The "Red and White Army" not only became champions last season but also aims to defend the title this year - they are in second place, trailing Ajax only on tiebreakers. In recent matches, Peter Bosz's team also left a positive impression with their play. PSV hasn't tasted defeat for 6 games now, and during this period they managed to beat Liverpool (3-2), who had won all 7 rounds of the Champions League before that. However, a not-so-confident start to the tournament allowed the team to only occupy 14th place in the standings. Regarding the upcoming clash, the participation of 6 players is highly questionable, including Richard Ledezma and Olivier Boscagli, who are key parts of the starting lineup (both were injured in early February).

⚽️ Goal Prediction

In the upcoming clash, a bet on both teams to score (yes) should come through without much trouble. Juventus, who were keeping clean sheets one after another at the start of the season, has simply stopped showing decent defensive play. The "Old Lady" has kept a clean sheet in only 2 of their last 11 clashes. Only Randal Kolo-Muani's fantastic play (5 goals in 3 matches) keeps Juve afloat. As for PSV's attacking capabilities, they are impressive. Scoring 69 goals in 22 matches of the Dutch league is a result that can shock almost anyone.

🚩 Corner Prediction

As we have already noted, PSV scored 69 goals in 22 matches of the Dutch league. Naturally, such numbers don't appear out of nowhere - it's a credit to the coaching staff and players. Peter Bosz's team plays active attacking football and isn't afraid to take initiative even against more formidable opponents. It's no surprise that the team has high figures for earned corners as well. The "Red and White Army" approaches the corner flag an average of 6.9 times per game. In this situation, you can opt for PSV total corners over 3.5.

📝 Editorial Prediction

According to bookmakers, Juventus is considered a clear favorite not only for the first game but for the entire two-legged tie. And the logic behind these odds is understandable. The "Old Lady" plays in one of the strongest leagues in the world and has a large number of high-class players in their squad. But it's worth acknowledging that the team is not in its best form right now. Juventus too often draws even with weaker opponents, and victories often come thanks to luck in the final minutes. In that same match against Como (2-1), Thiago Motta's team won only thanks to a penalty in the 89th minute. PSV is currently on a roll and should provide worthy resistance to their opponent both at home and away. Considering the result of September's head-to-head meeting (3-1), our key betting option will be both teams to score (yes). We wouldn't be surprised if the game ends with a score of 1-1.
