Juventus are set to make their Champions League return on Tuesday night, hosting PSV Eindhoven at the Allianz Stadium.
After missing out on European football’s elite competition last season, following a seventh-place finish in Serie A two years ago, the Old Lady earned their way back to the top tier with a strong top-three finish last term.
Now under new management, Thiago Motta has taken over the reins from Max Allegri and made a steady start, guiding Juventus to two wins and two draws in their opening four league games. With domestic matters off to a solid beginning, the focus now shifts to Europe, where the two-time champions will be aiming to hit the ground running with a home victory.
Meanwhile, Peter Bosz's PSV Eindhoven side have been in red-hot form. After clinching their first Eredivisie title since 2018 thrillingly last season, they've opened their title defence with five consecutive wins.
PSV will be looking to build on last year’s Champions League campaign, where they reached the knockout stages for the first time in nearly a decade before bowing out to eventual finalists Borussia Dortmund. Both teams will be eager to stamp their authority early in the group stage, setting up a thrilling clash between two historic clubs.

Juventus team news
After taking a cautious approach with his new recruits before the international break, Thiago Motta finally gave starts to Teun Koopmeiners, Nico Gonzalez, Pierre Kalulu, and Douglas Luiz over the weekend. Khephren Thuram also made his long-awaited return from injury with a substitute appearance.
Timothy Weah made his comeback after dealing with a thigh issue, but Francisco Conceicao remains doubtful for Tuesday’s clash as he continues to struggle with a calf injury.
Motta has been full of surprises, frequently calling up young talents like Nicolo Savona and Samuel Mbangula to the squad. Despite his tactical tweaks, the leading man up front is no mystery. Yet, Dusan Vlahovic has been off the mark, failing to score in three of his four appearances this season.

PSV's star striker Luuk de Jong marked his return from injury in style on Saturday, opening the scoring against NEC with a composed penalty. Midfielder Guus Til has also been in fine form, finding the net in each of Rood-witten's last three outings.
However, their dynamic winger Hirving Lozano, once a standout at Napoli, has been out since picking up a knock in a friendly against Genk earlier this month and is likely to miss the trip to Turin.
Ismael Saibari made his season debut on Saturday, so he could feature again, but Noa Lang was missing, along with Rick Karsdorp (fitness), Sergino Dest, and Armando Obispo (both nursing knee injuries).
