Italian giants Juventus return to the Champions League in 2024/25 just in time to be part of the brand new league table format.
The Bianconeri had spent a year away from Europe's top table but secured qualification last season and in their first match they face PSV at home.
Match Preview
Juventus Recent Form
Juventus have made a solid enough start to life under new head coach Thiago Motta, who has guided his side to a four-game unbeaten run in Serie A.
He enjoyed a superb start, defeating Como 3-0 at home and then Hellas Verona 3-0 away.
However, Juve's last two results have been 0-0 draws against Roma and Empoli respectively.
They are yet to concede a goal this season.
Juventus Injury News
Motta has had to contend with a few injury issues recently but the squad is looking healthier now, with only Francisco Conceicao out injured.
Teun Koopmeiners, Nico Gonzalez, Pierre Kalulu and Douglas Luiz made their starting debuts at the weekend, while Kephren Thuram and Timothy Weah returned from injury.
Last Juventus Lineup
Here's how Juventus lined up against Empoli.
PSV Recent Form
PSV couldn't have hoped for a better start to the new campaign as they have won five out of five in the Eredivisie - and in some style.
They have defeated RKC, Heracles, Almere, Go Ahead Eagles and NEC Breda.
The RKC win was 5-1, while they put seven past Almere. They have scored 22 and conceded three in five games.
PSV Injury News
Luuk de Jong and Ismael Saibari both returned from injury at the weekend, but Noa Lang missed out so there are concerns over him.
Rick Karsdop, Sergino Dest, Hiving Lozano and Armando Obispo are either major doubts or have been confirmed as absent.

Juventus - Player To Watch
Juventus may have a new-look team this season, but their biggest threat going forward remains powerful striker Dusan Vlahovic. He hasn't been great in the last couple of games, but he'll be hoping to finally make a mark in the Champions League.
PSV - Player To Watch
Dutch midfielder Guus Til has arguably been the best player in the Eredivisie so far this season. He has three goals and two assists to his name and has scored in each of PSV's last three matches.
Juventus vs PSV - Prediction
The Allianz Stadium will be rocking at the prospect of seeing Champions League footbal again and although Juventus go into this one as favourites, they aren't in sparkling form, while PSV are dominating all before them.
Juve's last two games have finished 0-0 and you wouldn't put it past PSV earning a point away from home, as Motta's side still continue to build a cohesion.
Scoreline prediction - Juventus 1-1 PSV
