NEC Nijmegen**Juve's Europa League mission starts against serious underdogs, but the Old Lady can't afford a slip-up in front of their home crowd.** 🏛️ This is the kind fixture where the quality gap should do most of the talking.
Juventus are clicking — three wins in their last five, though they did lose to Sassuolo away. NEC Nijmegen are struggling badly: just one win and three losses in their last five matches. The visitors will need to pack the bus hard and hope for chaos.
Key storylines:
- **Juventus's injury pile** is real (no Yıldız, no Milik, no Cabal, no Boga), but they've got the depth to cruise past a Eredivisie outfit in crisis 💪
- **NEC's form is dire** — they've conceded three or more goals in three of their last five, and facing **Juve's attacking tempo** at the Allianz could get ugly fast
- **Lucumí and Bremer** will need to stay sharp, but this should be a comfortable defensive night
Expected lineups:
- **Juventus**: Vicario, Cambiaso, Bremer, Lucumí, Çelik, Locatelli, D. Luiz, Alajbegović, Koopmeiners, Conceição, González
- **NEC Nijmegen**: Polster, Kabar, Storm, Sandler, Tadić, Geiger, Lebreton, Nejašmić, Bischoff, Tahaui, Chery
Prediction:
**Juventus 3–0 NEC** — The gap is too wide. Expect a clinical performance and an early cruise.
