Juventus vs PSV Prediction: Juve to claim first-leg advantage

Juventus welcome PSV Eindhoven to Turin for the first leg of their Champions League play-off tie on Tuesday evening (20:00, live on TNT Sports 1), as both sides will look to progress to the next round.
Juve picked up just three wins from eight matches during the first phase of the competition, while PSV won four of their final five matches after suffering a slow start. Read on for my Juventus vs PSV prediction, as well as the latest team news and match odds.
Team News
Pierre Kalulu is yet to return from a muscle injury for Juve, while Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal remain long-term absentees.
Arkadiusz Milik isn't expected to return to proceedings until next month due to a calf problem, while Newcastle United loanee Lloyd Kelly could make his full debut for Juve here after being deployed as a half-time substitute on Friday against Como.
As for the visitors, Adamo Nagalo was taken off injured in the weekend's draw with Willem II, and he looks set to join Olivier Boscagli in the treatment room.
Ryan Flamingo will return from a Champions League ban here, but the likes of Malik Tillman, Ricardo Pepi and Richard Ledezma are all missing due to injury.
Juventus are favourites for the game at 10/11, which gives them an implied win probability of 52.4%, with the draw 5/2 and the away win can be backed at 100/30.
Dusan Vlahovic leads the anytime goalscorer market at 13/8, while Luuk de Jong is shortest-priced for the visitors at 12/5.
Juventus to win @ 10/11
Juventus were 3-1 winners when these two sides met back in September, and I believe they can see off PSV once again on Tuesday night.
The Dutch side did finish the league phase in solid form, as outlined in the introduction, as they produced home wins over Girona, Shakhtar Donetsk and a heavily-rotated Liverpool side, along with a 3-2 victory at Red Star Belgrade.
However, the visitors have won just once in their last five trips, suffering defeats to PEC Zwolle, Heerenveen and Brest during that time. They’ve conceded eight times across their previous three away visits, and despite Juve's mixed season, this will be a step up in quality for the Dutch side.
I'm backing a Juve win at 10/11.
Odds correct at time of publishing.
Randal Kolo Muani to score anytime @ 9/5
Randal Kolo Muani joined Juventus on loan from Paris Saint-Germain during the January transfer window, and the French international has settled quickly in Turin.
The former Eintracht Frankfurt man has scored six goals in just three appearances for the Old Lady, including two goals against Como, another brace versus Empoli and a solitary strike against Napoli.
At 9/5, I think Kolo Muani looks like a decent price to strike anytime on Tuesday.
