Juventus vs NEC Nijmegen Preview

Juventus have collected seven points from their opening three Serie A fixtures, a solid return that places them tenth and underlines their resilience despite a mounting injury crisis. Luciano Spalletti is without Manuel Locatelli, who faces possible meniscus surgery, while Khéphren Thuram-Ulien and several others were excluded from the Europa League squad entirely. The Old Lady's home form has been encouraging, with three wins and a draw in their last four outings at the Juventus Stadium.

NEC Nijmegen arrive in Turin with a patchy run of results that offers little comfort ahead of this continental assignment. The Dutch side have lost two of their last four matches, managing just one win in that stretch, and the step up in quality here is considerable. Facing a side of Juventus's calibre represents both a stern examination and a rare stage on which to impress, though their recent away form suggests they will need a vastly improved performance to trouble the hosts.

Juventus open their Europa League campaign at the Juventus Stadium carrying genuine domestic momentum. Four wins and a draw from their last five outings across all competitions paint a picture of a side performing well under Luciano Spalletti, even with key absences. NEC Nijmegen, by contrast, arrive in Turin having lost two of their last four matches, a run that hardly inspires confidence for a trip to face a continental heavyweight.

The exclusion of Khéphren Thuram-Ulien, Zhegrova, and Milik from the Europa League squad, combined with Locatelli's likely absence through a knee problem, thins the hosts' options considerably. Yet Spalletti's squad depth, bolstered by summer arrivals, should prove more than sufficient against Eredivisie opposition. NEC will need a near-perfect defensive display to withstand pressure at this level, and their recent form suggests that is unlikely.

A home win at 1.25 represents the core selection here, backed by Juventus's strong recent record and NEC's inconsistency on the road. The hosts' defensive solidity also makes 1.80 worth consideration; Spalletti's side have shown discipline at the back throughout the early weeks of the campaign. Backing under 2.5 goals at 2.70 complements the profile of a controlled, professional Juventus victory in this opening fixture.
