Juventus Set to Defeat NEC Nijmegen in Europa League

The official Juventus squad faces NEC Nijmegen on Thursday, September 16, at the Allianz Stadium as they begin their European campaign. Coach Luciano Spalletti and defender Pierre Kalulu emphasized a focus on revenge after Saturday's loss to Sassuolo while acknowledging NEC's relentless attacking style. The Bianconeri have not won in eight of their last nine Europa League matches but remain unbeaten overall with four wins, four draws, and one loss since February 25. Conversely, NEC has failed to win all but one of its six most recent competitive matches across all competitions.
