Juventus vs NEC Nijmegen Preview
Juventus open their Europa League campaign at the Juventus Stadium carrying strong domestic momentum. Seven points from three Serie A matches tells the story of a side finding its rhythm under Luciano Spalletti, with only one draw blotting an otherwise impressive start. The injury crisis is real, though. Manuel Locatelli faces possible meniscus surgery, while Khéphren Thuram-Ulien and Edon Zhegrova were left off the European squad entirely. Spalletti will need creative solutions in midfield.
NEC Nijmegen travel to Turin with little recent form to inspire confidence. The Dutch side have lost two of their last four outings, managing just one win in that stretch. Sitting fourth in the Eredivisie, they possess enough quality to compete domestically, but a trip to face a Serie A heavyweight represents a different level of examination. This is a massive opportunity for NEC to announce themselves on the continental stage, yet the task could hardly be more daunting.
Juventus at 1.21 represents the core pick here. Despite missing Locatelli, Thuram-Ulien, and several other key names, the Old Lady have collected seven points from three Serie A matches, winning three and drawing once across their last five outings. That domestic solidity translates well to a home European fixture against a side from the Eredivisie.
NEC arrive in Turin having lost two of their last four matches, and their away form offers little reason for optimism against a squad of this calibre. The visitors lack experience at this level, and Juventus under Spalletti will look to impose themselves early. A home win feels well within reach at the available price.
Backing over 2.5 goals at N/A adds further value. Juventus have shown attacking intent this season, and NEC's defensive record on the road suggests they could be vulnerable. The hosts should create enough chances to breach the three-goal threshold, particularly with the Juventus Stadium crowd behind them.
