Champions League, Tuesday, February 11, 2025 at 9:00 p.m.
Eindhoven is a dangerous team that Juve should be wary of. If they don’t take the first leg seriously, they could find themselves in a difficult position in Holland a week later.
The German betting providers are also rather uncertain in their Juventus PSV Eindhoven odds, in that they are trading the progress as almost a 50:50 thing.
Personally, however, I consider the “Bianconeri” to be minimally stronger since the arrival of Randal Kolo Muani. In my Juventus PSV Eindhoven prediction, I will not focus exclusively on a classic 1X2 bet.
Both teams are undoubtedly among the heavyweights in their respective leagues, but did you know that their paths have rarely crossed so far?
It is only the second meeting between Juve and PSV Eindhoven in a major European competition.
The only previous clash took place this season, when the Italians came out on top 3-1 at their own stadium in September 2024.
Will it be another success for the Old Lady this time, or can the Dutch take their chance? According to my Juventus PSV Eindhoven prediction, the big winner of the evening has already been determined: Randal Kolo Muani.
The bookmakers’ prediction
Juventus start the game against PSV Eindhoven as favorites with odds of 1.90. The bookmakers believe in a victory for the Italians, mainly due to their home strength and the broad quality in the squad.
The Dutch team, on the other hand, are priced at 4.00 on average to win away from home – a bet that could be appealing to those willing to take risks, but is still considered rather unlikely in the markets.
KI prediction Juventus vs PSV Eindhoven: That’s what ChatGPT tips
The Juventus PSV Eindhoven AI prediction for this playoff thriller brings some interesting betting opportunities, but not every tip convinces me equally.
For example, ChatGPT recommends the “Over 3.5 goals” bet to very risk-loving sports betting fans, at odds of around 3.10.
However, I view this tip with suspicion, as Juventus rarely seeks an open exchange of blows in such games. Rather, the focus could be on disciplined defense, which makes such an eventful game seem rather unlikely.
For a medium betting risk, the AI suggests “double chance X2” at 1.88. I clearly disagree with this. I think a draw is much more likely than a PSV win, and therefore I find this betting option unattractive – there are more lucrative alternatives.
Finally, “Juve advance” is suggested as a lower-risk bet at around 1.55.
That sounds solid, because although the first-leg result plays a role, I see the “Bianconeri”, with their experience – and especially with Kolo Muani in attack – already in the clear better starting position for a place in the last 16.
Analysis: Juventus vs PSV Eindhoven
After Dusan Vlahovic had scored only one goal in his last eight appearances for the “Old Lady”, he was left out of the squad for the first time this season at the weekend against Como.
Nevertheless, Juventus still managed to win 2-1 against Como thanks to the new crowd favorite Kolo Muani in his place.
After beating Empoli 4-1 a week earlier, Juve scored six goals in two games, which is a much more positive sign than they showed in the whole of January.
It’s worth noting that Juve scored as many goals in the three competitive games in which the French newcomer played as they did in the seven previous games without him.
At the start of the season, PSV seemed to be on a clear path to winning the Eredivisie. Although they have dropped some points in recent weeks, they should still remain the strongest team in the Netherlands in the long term.
And what about their last Champions League appearance? An impressive 3-2 win over the “Reds” – so this team definitely has the potential to cause upsets.
Even though I think they will be focusing more on the second leg against Juve.
Odds Analysis
“Both teams score” at 1.83 is definitely an interesting value bet. In 75% of all of PSV Eindhoven’s appearances in the Champions League this season, both teams involved managed to score at least one goal.
If Kolo Muani plays from the start, he could even be the first scorer of the game with odds of around 6.60. It wouldn’t be a big surprise, after all, he has established himself as a true savior for the Italians in just a few weeks.
Juventus vs. PSV Eindhoven odds: Veni, Vidi, Vici!
Dusan-wer? I can imagine that in Turin only a few “Bianconeri” supporters have a problem with the fact that the Serbian has now been demoted to a substitute.
Because when a newcomer delivers like Randal Kolo Muani does, then your own crowd favorite is quickly substituted almost everywhere.
Note: Since his arrival, the Frenchman has played exactly three competitive games and scored five goals.
One against Napoli, two against Empoli and another two at the weekend against Como, outstanding!
Juventus: Strong against Dutch clubs!
What Juve can definitely bring to the table on Tuesday is a wealth of experience against Dutch clubs.
The “Old Lady” has only lost three of her 15 duels against Dutch teams in the Champions League and has even managed to win seven of the last eleven games (2 draws, 2 defeats).
However, Juventus have not been quite as dominant in their own stadium lately.
In this Champions League season, they have already lost two of their four home games – but the Turin team has never before had three or more home defeats in a single season in this competition!
If Eindhoven puts on the pressure, it could ring – but I still tend to expect the Italians to keep a clean sheet, which could even last until the final whistle.
The “Bianconeri” usually act in a tactically disciplined manner. After all, Juventus were on an equal footing with their opponents in terms of scoring in 64% of the total playing time (495 minutes) in this Champions League season – that is the highest value of all teams in the league phase.
Thiago Motta’s team, in turn, were only ahead for 130 minutes in eight games. So it could be a relatively long draw again!
By the way: someone we will see again in the USA shirt at the 2026 World Cup could try to make his mark on this game.
Of all the players who have played at least 450 minutes in this year’s Champions League, only Jamal Musiala (3.9) has created more chances per 90 minutes than PSV’s Malik Tillman (3.5).
In total, the American has already created 21 chances this season.
My Juventus PSV Eindhoven Tip:
Juve brings an enormous composure to the game and has noticeably strengthened with Kolo Muani. The Frenchman can score at any time, but against PSV, defensive stability will be needed first.
The Dutch team is dangerous in attack, but with patience and a clever game plan, Juventus should control the game early on.
Especially in the second half, an increase in pressure should be decisive in order to force PSV to its knees. If Juve implements its match plan in a disciplined manner, the chances are good to put themselves in a strong starting position for the second leg in a week.
