Match Facts

  • Juventus have only won two of their last six games against Dutch sides in major European competition (D2 L2), with this their first ever encounter with NEC.

  • NEC are playing in a major European competition for only the fourth time in their history after the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1983-84 (round of 16), UEFA Cup in 2003-04 (first round) and UEFA Cup again in 2008-09 (round of 32).

  • Juventus will be the fifth club Luciano Spalletti has managed in the UEFA Europa League (since 2009-10), along with Zenit St Petersburg, Roma, Internazionale and Napoli. He’s only lost two out of 18 matches in the group stage of the competition (W12 D4 L2).

  • NEC finished third in last season’s Eredivisie, leading the division in high turnovers (326), defensive actions (994), while also having the lowest PPDA value (9.3).

  • Weston McKennie has scored four goals in his last six major European appearances for Juventus - his 11 goals overall in Europe (10 for Juventus, 1 for Schalke) are the second most of any American player, behind Christian Pulisic (14).
