A tantalising battle of tactics, temperament and talent is expected under the lights in Turin on Tuesday, when Juventus take on Borussia Dortmund in their first match of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League. The Old Lady exited this competition in the knockout phase Playoffs last season, while BVB reached the quarter-finals. Check out our match prediction below!
This marks the start of a new chapter in the storied tale of Juventus, as they prepare to attempt to conquer Europe under the guidance of Igor Tudor, who replaced Thiago Motta after the latter was sacked in March this year. The Croatian tactician steered his new team to fourth place in Serie A last season with a W5 D3 L1 record in his nine league games at the helm in 2024-25.
This is also Niko Kovac’s first full season in charge of Dortmund after replacing Nuri Sahin in January. Kovac took over when BVB were 11th in the Bundesliga, but he oversaw wins in six of the team’s final seven league matches last season to finish fourth and claim a UCL qualification spot. The hosts are the bookies’ favourite in this one - let’s get into the key stats!

Juventus - Borussia Dortmund: Form Analysis
Juventus struggled to find their best form in the new-look Champions League last season, having bowed out in the knockout phase Playoffs to PSV after finishing 20th in the League Phase.
I Bianconeri recorded W3 D3 L2 in their eight UCL group-stage matches last term, and split their four home matches in that time, two wins and two defeats. They beat PSV here 2-1 in the knockout Playoffs.
The hosts have started this season very positively, winning all three of their Serie A matches to date, including a stunning 4-3 victory over Inter Milan at this venue this past weekend.
Juve beat this opponent 2-1 in a pre-season friendly on August 10!
Meanwhile, despite struggling in their domestic league over the first half of last season, Borussia Dortmund fared well in this competition and secured 10th place during the League Phase.
The Prussians then saw off Sporting Lisbon (3-0) in the knockout phase Playoffs and Lille (3-2) in the last 16 before their heartbreaking defeat to Barcelona 5-3 on aggregate in the quarter-final.
The visitors won three and lost three of their six away games in this competition last season. They enter this match off the back of a 2-0 victory over Heidenheim at the weekend and are unbeaten across all competitions this term.

Juventus & Borussia Dortmund Squad Analysis
Kenan Yildiz has made an excellent start to the season, already with four goal involvements in three league games to date. The Turkish international picked up a goal and an assist in the Derby d’Italia at the weekend and could be one to watch in this match.
Vasilije Adzic came off the bench to score the winner against Inter, but he is unlikely to displace Dusan Vlahovic in the starting lineup, with the Serbian already on two goals in three games this term.
Lois Openda picked up a goal and an assist against BVB in the Bundesliga last season and will be hoping to make his mark against them for his new employers. Motta has two injury absentees for this match in Francisco Conceicao and Fabio Miretti.
Serhou Guirassy was the joint-top scorer in the Champions League last season with 13 goals!
The Guinea international has stormed out of the blocks again this season, already on five goals in four matches across all competitions. He has scored in every match in 2025-26 so far.
Karim Adeyemi and Maximilian Beier combined to good effect for Die Schwarzgelben’s second goal at the weekend, and they will likely partner Guirassy in the attacking trio in this match.
However, while Kovac is well stocked in attack, the same cannot be said at the opposite end of the pitch, with the likes of Nico Schlotterbeck and Niklas Sule out through injury. Emre Can (groin), Julien Duranville (shoulder) and Julian Brandt (hand) are also sidelined for this clash.

Our Juventus vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
Juventus have made a very impressive start to the 2025-26 season and enter this match with their tails up following a stunning 4-3 victory in the Derby d’Italia against Inter Milan at the weekend.
However, Borussia Dortmund have also made an impressive start to the new campaign and have an in-form striker in Serhou Guirassy, who has already netted five goals in four matches across all competitions. We’re expecting a few goals in this one. Our Juventus vs Borussia Dortmund prediction is both teams to score.
