- Juventus come into the clash after a dramatic 4-3 win over Inter Milan in Serie A.

- Key battles expected: Jonathan David and Dusan Vlahovic vs Dortmund’s back line.
Juventus arrive in Turin on the back of a heart-pounding 4-3 win over Inter Milan on Saturday, where Jonathan David and Dusan Vlahovic showed glimpses of becoming a deadly duo. Igor Tudor’s men have three wins from three in Serie A, but questions linger over their defensive steel after conceding three against Inter. Can they really balance flair with stability in Europe? That’s the riddle Tudor needs to solve fast.
Recent European campaigns haven’t been kind to the Bianconeri, with last season’s early exit still haunting fans. They’ll take confidence, though, from a flawless domestic run and a six-game winning streak at home in Serie A. The Champions League, however, is another beast. Even with Bremer marshalling the back three and Locatelli dictating play in midfield, Juventus know Dortmund’s firepower will test every weak spot.
Dortmund, meanwhile, warmed up with a 2-0 win over Heidenheim. Sure, they faced ten men for most of the game, but Niko Kovac’s side still showed ruthlessness up front and resilience at the back. Nine goals in four games this season show their attacking intent, and three clean sheets hint at newfound defensive discipline. That’s a bold mix, but will it hold up in Turin’s cauldron?
There’s history too. Dortmund haven’t beaten Juventus in Europe since 2015, and their record away to Italian clubs is shaky at best. Still, with Jobe Bellingham eager to step into the spotlight and Serhou Guirassy in scoring form, you can’t write them off. It’s hard to say how this will end, but what feels almost certain is goals. Both sides look too sharp going forward, and too leaky at the back, for it to be a dull night. This feels like a contest where attack might just outshine defence and that’s exactly what the Champions League was made for.
Backing Both Teams to Score makes sense here. Juventus are in red-hot form going forward, hitting seven goals in their first three league matches. Jonathan David and Dusan Vlahovic are starting to click, while Kenan Yildiz adds creativity in behind. The issue is at the back. Juve conceded three to Inter on Saturday, the first time their defence has been stretched this season and Dortmund are more than capable of doing the same. Niko Kovac’s side arrive with nine goals scored already this campaign, led by Serhou Guirassy’s sharp finishing and support from Julian Brandt. Even without Emre Can and Niklas Sule, they’ve looked stable, but Juventus at home usually find a way through. Dortmund’s counter-attacking pace will punish any slip-ups. Recent head-to-heads also suggest goals, with four of the last six meetings producing at least three. The balance of both attacks strongly favors BTTS.
