PSV vs Juventus
Herrin Kendrick; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Ajax to Win & Both Teams to Score | |
13/5 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning Ajax’s strong home form and attacking fluency make them favourites, but Union SG’s scoring threat suggests an open contest. Expect a high-scoring match, with Ajax likely securing victory. |
Rationale:
Key Stats:
📌 PSV are unbeaten in their last 12 European home games, winning their last three.
📌 Juventus have failed to win their last three away Champions League matches.
📌 PSV last failed to score at home over two years ago.
PSV Eindhoven find themselves in a tricky position, trailing by a single goal after the first leg. Despite losing 2-1 in Turin, they showed plenty of attacking intent and were unfortunate not to come away with a better result. The Dutch side have been impressive at home in Europe, remaining unbeaten in their last 12 matches at the Philips Stadion, including wins against Liverpool, Girona, and Shakhtar Donetsk.
Juventus, on the other hand, have found form at the right time, winning four consecutive matches across all competitions. However, their away record in the Champions League is far from convincing—they have drawn their last three away European fixtures, highlighting their struggles to kill off ties on the road.
With PSV’s attacking mindset and home advantage, they will take the game to Juventus from the start. Juve’s defensive solidity will be tested, but their ability to counter-attack through Federico Chiesa and Randal Kolo Muani makes them a threat on the break. Expect a closely contested game, where both sides will have their moments.
Given PSV’s impressive home form and Juventus’ tendency to struggle away, backing PSV to avoid defeat looks like the best value bet for this crucial Champions League clash.
