Juve will edge out Os Celestes
Juventus coach and system
Luciano Spalletti has coached Juventus FC since 30 October 2025, and the 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 system that the Italian tactician favours has certainly put a different spin on Juventus this season.
Celta de Vigo setup and form
The hosts' coach has been in charge of Celta de Vigo since 13 March 2024 and his side will set up to be a compact unit that presses high up the field in order to create chaos behind their opponent's defensive line and force quick transitions. Celta's last two matches saw them beat Racing Santander 5-0 at home in LaLiga, before earning a 0-0 draw away at Elche, so the Galicians can lock it down or unlock it when required.
Juve can unlock the home team's shape
Juventus are 0-1-1 in their last two away games so their road form is not perfect, but it is not exactly broken either, while Celta are 1-1-0 at home in their previous two matches, so the home field advantage doesn't stand out as a major factor in this one.
Juventus' last two results have seen them lose 1-0 to Cremonese in a home friendly and draw 1-1 away at Cagliari. In summary, they are not quite showing the same 'killer instinct' that has been a hallmark of the club in recent years, but they still have far more 'punch' than Celta de Vigo who have gone 1-3-1 in their past five matches in all competitions.
- Kerim Alajbegovic is the top scorer for Juventus in the UEFA Europa League 2026/2027 with 1 goal in 1 game, and he will be one of the main threats in the attacking third for the visitors on Thursday evening.
- Juventus can be supported at 2.12, Over 2.5 goals at 2.1 and Both Teams to Score – No at 1.87.
