Juventus vs NEC prediction
Juventus would always expect to be Champions League qualifiers, such is their status as one of the biggest clubs not only in Italy but also Europe as a whole. But a really poor 2025-26 campaign has led them into the Europa League. NEC meanwhile, would also have been eying up the Champions League but they fell short at the final hurdle of qualifying, losing in two-legs to Bodo/Glimt.
Whilst this may not be the feared Juventus of yesteryear, they still possess a squad of substantial depth and certain one better than NEC. They may need to show patience here against an opponent likely to make themselves difficult to break down. Ultimately though, the expectation is that the Italian giants will win out.
