PSV are currently sitting in 2nd place in the Dutch Eredivisie standings, two points below Ajax. The Red and Whites finished 14th in the Champions League league phase standings, having won four games, drawn twice, and lost twice. They will face Go Ahead Eagles in the KNVB Beker Cup semifinals next week.
PSV are coming off a thrilling 2-2 home draw with Utrecht in Eredivisie. Eindhoven dominated the whole match with 70% possession and 18 shots on target, but they weren’t clinical enough to get the win. The Red and Whites are now on a three-game winless streak in all competitions.
PSV are a little unlucky with injuries, as Sergino Dest, Rick Karsdorp, Ricardo Pepi, and Malik Tillman are all out, while Olivier Boscagli is doubtful for the game.
Juventus are currently sitting in 4th place in the Italian Serie A standings. Juve didn’t have the best results in the UCL league phase, but they managed to qualify in 20th place to face PSV. The Bianconeri will face Empoli in the Coppa Italia quarterfinals this month.
Juventus are coming off a crucial 1-0 home win over Inter in Serie A. Francisco Conceicao scored the winning goal for the team in the 74th minute, which pushed them to finally get into the top four. The Bianconeri are having a great month, as they have won all four matches in February, and they will try to keep that going here to secure a spot in the UCL round of 16.
Juventus are still missing Juan Cabal, Pierre Kalulu, Arkadiusz Milik, and Bremer due to injuries, while Douglas Luiz is doubtful.

Juventus are on their longest winning streak of the season, having beaten Inter, PSV, Como, and Empoli in the last four games. PSV Eindhoven are struggling, on the other hand, with only one win in their last five matches. The Bianconeri have outplayed the Dutch club in both games this season, as they had more expected goals and shots on target.
The UCL playoffs betting sites have great value on the plus-money odds on Juve here, as they have lost only three of their last 25 games and have good chances of getting a draw if not winning.

PSV Eindhoven are only behind by one goal, so they don’t have to go all-out attacking early in the game. Juventus will tighten their defenses as usual and play on the counterattack, and they are averaging 2.3 goals per game in their last 10 matches. The Bianconeri are coming off a game with the Nerazzurri, in which they shut down the Inter offense and limited them to only two shots on target, so they are very good defensively right now.
