How to watch Juventus vs PSV live
Juventus and PSV kicks off on Tuesday, 17th June, at 5:45pm (UK time) and will be broadcast live in the UK on TNT Sports 2. The game can also be watched on Discovery+ Premium.
How both teams go into Juventus vs PSV
Having won a record nine successive Serie A titles between 2012 and 2020, Juve finished third in 2023/24—their highest final placing since being crowned champions in 2019/20.
This means the Bianconeri return to the competition after missing out in 2023/24. The previous season was their 11th consecutive Champions League campaign, and it was the first time they missed out on the round of 16 since 2013/14 when Juve finished behind Benfica and Paris Saint-Germain in their section.
Massimiliano Allegri left Juventus in May after three years in charge. He also coached the club between 2014 and 2019, leading them to the Champions League finals in 2015 and 2017. Thiago Motta replaced him.
After finishing second in the Eredivisie for three successive seasons, PSV claimed their first league title since the 2017/18 season, finishing seven points clear of champions Feyenoord. Peter Bosz’s side won 29 of their 34 league games, losing only one. Their final tally of 91 points eclipsed Ajax’s previous record of 89, set in the 1997/98 season.
Consequently, they will be making their 18th appearance in the Champions League proper—level with Ajax’s Dutch record—and their second in succession.
A 3–2 Matchday 5 win in Seville last season is PSV’s only success in their last 17 away matches in the Champions League proper (D5, L11) since a 1–0 victory at CSKA on 27 November 2007.
Juventus host PSV at the Allianz Stadium on Tuesday, 17th September at 5:45pm.
Juventus team news
Thiago Motta started Teun Koopmeiners, Nico Gonzalez, Pierre Kalulu, and Douglas Luiz at the weekend. Khephren Thuram made his return from injury by coming off the bench. Timothy Weah also returned to action after a thigh problem, but Francisco Conceição is still struggling with a calf injury and may not be ready in time for Tuesday’s game.
PSV team news
Luuk de Jong made a comeback from an injury layoff on Saturday. He scored the first goal against NEC from the penalty spot. However, in-form winger Hirving Lozano, who used to play for Napoli in Italy, has been sidelined since a friendly against Genk earlier this month and might miss the trip to Turin.
Ismaël Saïbari made his first appearance of the season on Saturday, so he could be involved. Noa Lang was absent, along with Rick Karsdorp (fitness), Sergino Dest, and Armando Obispo (both with knee injuries).
Juventus vs PSV head-to-head
Surprisingly, considering their respective European pedigrees, this is the teams’ first meeting.
Juventus will be playing against a Dutch club for the first time since the 2018/19 Champions League quarter-finals, when they suffered a 1–2 second-leg defeat at home to Ajax, resulting in a 2–3 aggregate loss.
Before this defeat, Juventus had a seven-match unbeaten streak against Eredivisie clubs (W4, D3). Their last loss against a Dutch club was a 2–0 defeat at the hands of Feyenoord in the 1997–98 Champions League group stage. Juventus had been unbeaten in six games against Dutch sides in Turin (W4, D2), with their last loss being a 0–1 defeat against Twente in the 1974–75 UEFA Cup semi-final second leg (1–4 aggregate).
PSV’s most recent encounter with Italian opposition was in the 2018/19 Champions League group stage, where they lost 2-1 at home to Inter Milan and drew 1-1 away.
PSV have not won in their last four games against Serie A sides (D2 L2), but they’ve only suffered one defeat in their previous five games in Italy (W2 D2), which was a 0–3 loss at AC Milan in the 2013–14 Champions League play-off second leg (1–4 aggregate).
