Juventus vs NEC Nijmegen Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Juventus
- Odds: -435 (Tonybet)
Juventus opened their 2026-27 Serie A campaign with back-to-back wins over Frosinone (W 1-0) and Parma (W 2-0), but their results have gone in the wrong direction of late, as they’re winless in their last two. The 1-1 draw against AC Milan was somewhat expected, but the 3-2 loss to Sassuolo last weekend wasn’t. Juve will look to bounce back against an opponent with limited European experience.
NEC Nijmegen were the biggest surprise of the 2025-26 Eredivisie season and finished third, but they haven’t been able to translate those results into the new campaign. The Dutch side couldn’t progress through the UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds, and a 6-1 aggregate loss to Bodo/Glimt forced them to settle for a spot in the UEFA Europa League.

NEC’s recent form doesn’t inspire much confidence, as they’ve dropped four of their last six matches across all competitions (W1, D1, L4). With Juventus eager to bounce back at home and having far more European experience, the Serie A giants look well placed to win here.
Juventus vs NEC Nijmegen Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Nick Woltemade to score anytime
- Odds: +112 (Tonybet)
The Old Lady will be without several key attacking pieces, but one player who should be eager to find the back of the net is Nick Woltemade. The German striker, who’s on loan at Juventus from Newcastle United, has yet to score a goal for his new club.
This feels like the perfect game for him to end that drought. A matchup against a Dutch team could be more favourable than the compact defences he faces regularly in Serie A.
Woltemade has recorded three shots in just 44 minutes of action this season, so he should test the opposing keeper early and often if given enough playing time here. He scored 10 goals in 46 matches across all competitions for Newcastle in 2025-26.

- SGP: Juventus to win + Both teams not to score + Juventus over 6.5 corners
- Odds: +320 (Tonybet)
We’re backing Juventus to come out on top given their significant edge in talent and experience, as well as the home-field advantage. The Serie A giants should not only win but also keep a clean sheet. They have kept two clean sheets in four competitive matches in 2026-27, while NEC have failed to score in two of their last five games, including their weekend tilt vs. Cambuur.

Juventus’ dominance should also be noticeable in the corner department. With NEC Nijmegen likely to sit back and adopt a defensive approach, the Old Lady should control possession and try to exploit the flanks early and often. The numbers also back them up, as Juventus have won at least seven corners in each of their four league matches this season.
Juventus vs NEC Nijmegen Team News
Juventus Team News
Juventus are seriously depleted ahead of this UEFA Europa League opener. Between suspensions, injuries, and first-team players not registered to feature in this competition, the Bianconeri have more than 10 absences for their match against NEC Nijmegen. Edon Zhegrova, Daniele Rugani, and Arkadiusz Milik are among the most recognisable names missing from the Old Lady’s European squad.
Star winger Kenan Yildiz is also unavailable because of a foot problem, but he’s not the only player out due to a fitness issue. That list also includes defender Juan Cabal, midfielders Weston McKennie, Manuel Locatelli, Andrea Cambiaso, and Kephren Thuram, and winger Jeremie Boga. As if that wasn’t enough, the defence will be further depleted by the suspensions of Lloyd Kelly and Arman Durmisi.
