Team News:

• For the hosts, Ricardo Pepi and Malik Tillman will be out of action because of the injuries.
• Juventus will be without the services of Bremer, Juan Cabal, Douglas Luiz and Arkadiusz Milik as they are injured.

Player(s) to watch:

• Ivan Perisic is surely going to play a crucial role for PSV in the second leg. Ivan Perisic scored the only goal for his side in the first leg. That goal will surely keep some pressure low and PSV’s chances of getting through to Juventus high in the second leg. The 36-year-old will help his side in the midfield and might also come up with another goal.
• Randal Kolo Muani has surely made an impact after joining the Serie A side. Randal Kolo Muani leads the attack from the front and is good at converting the attack into goals. The Old Lady need exactly that if they want to get to the further stages of the UEFA Champions League. Kolo Muani knows how to find spaces in the opponent’s defence and score goals.
