Champions League: Juventus vs. PSV Picks — Old Lady Hoping to Claim First Leg Advantage (Feb 11)

Juventus clash with PSV in the opening leg of their knockout playoff round tie in the Champions League on February 11, 2025.

Juventus were forced to settle for a 20th-place finish in the Champions League standings in the opening round after failing to win four of their last five matches.

PSV bring the better recent European form into this clash after winning four of their last five matches. Incredibly, they missed out on a spot in the automatic places by just a point, and the Dutch side will have home field advantage for the return clash against the Old Lady.

Juventus vs. PSV Prop Picks

Juventus’ defensive issues mean that both teams to score could be an interesting prop selection this week.

Meanwhile, Randal Kolo Muani’s form since moving to Italy could be a solid angle. The Frenchman has scored five in three appearances for Juventus since moving to Turin from PSG in the winter window.

Juventus vs. PSV Picks

PSV bring eye-catching European form to the table this week, but their poor overall record against Italian opposition is hard to dismiss.

However, Juventus have lost two of their four home matches in the Champions League this season, and their high draw percentage reflects their constant inability to get over the line across all competitions. Therefore, a tie could be the interesting angle on Tuesday.
