Juventus vs Borussia Dortmund Preview

Juventus

The home side, Juventus are arriving in a confident mood after making a perfect start to the 2025-26 campaign. They’ve won all three of their Serie A fixtures so far. Igor Tudor’s men showed resilience by overturning a late deficit against Inter. Their attack has also already produced seven goals this term. Defensively, they conceded for the first time last weekend. However, their overall form remains encouraging with six straight home wins in Serie A.

However, their European record at the Allianz is less convincing. They’ve lost two of their last four European competitive games. For this clash, Bremer is expected to marshal the backline alongside Federico Gatti and Lloyd Kelly. Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram should control midfield. Up front, Jonathan David and Dusan Vlahovic are likely to lead the line, supported by youngster Kenan Yildiz.

Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund, under Niko Kovac, have enjoyed an unbeaten start. They’ve recorded three wins and a draw across all competitions. Their disciplined defensive record is notable. BVB have registered three clean sheets already, equalling their tally from the entire previous Bundesliga campaign. They have been missing defensive leaders Emre Can, Niklas Sule and Nico Schlotterbeck.

Kovac has relied on Aaron Anselmino, Waldemar Anton and Ramy Bensebaini to hold firm at the back. In midfield, Jobe Bellingham offers energy and creativity. Serhou Guirassy is set to lead the attack after a strong start to the season. Dortmund’s away form has also been steady, with two wins and a draw in their last three trips. Kovac showed confidence in the pre-match press conference that they can get a good result.

Juventus vs Borussia Dortmund Over/ Under Predictions

Total Goals Over 3.5 @ +190 as per BetMGM:

Juventus’ recent matches suggest goal-rich affairs, making the over 3.5 total goals at +190 an attractive bet. Their 4-3 win over Inter in Serie A showed both their ability to score freely and to concede, and they have found the net seven times in their opening three league games. Borussia Dortmund, meanwhile, are riding high with clean sheets.

However, they’re also creating chances. Guirassy scored a headed goal in their 2-0 win over ten-man Heidenheim. The team have also scored three or more in some matches. With both sides likely to press offensively and Juventus’ defensive vulnerabilities exposed in recent games, over 3.5 goals seems plausible.

Juventus vs Borussia Dortmund Player Picks

Serhou Guirassy to score anytime @ +185 as per FanDuel:

Serhou Guirassy has been in excellent scoring form this season. In his first three Bundesliga matches, he already has multiple goals to his name. And he has also established his prowess in aerial balls through his recent headed goal vs Heidenheim. Guirassy also has a strong Champions League record, including 13 goals in last season’s UCL campaign. Given Dortmund’s reliance on his finishing and Juventus’ occasional lapses at the back, betting on Guirassy to score anytime at +185 appears to be a good bet.

Jonathan David to either score or assist anytime @ -105 as per FanDuel:

Jonathan David has made a sharp start to life at Juventus after his move from Lille. He has already registered a goal and an assist in Serie A this season. He also played a key role in the 4-3 win against Inter as he provided the assist that led to Vasilije Adzic’s stoppage-time winner.

His expected goals (xG) and expected assists (xA) per 90 minutes are high. Hence, it’s expected that he will often be involved in key attacking moves. Priced at -105 to score or assist anytime, David is well-placed to make another contribution given his involvement in Juventus’ attacking play.

Expect a tight, end-to-end match with both sides eager to assert themselves. Juventus will likely dominate possession and push forward. Meanwhile Dortmund, buoyed by Guirassy’s form, will hit on the break.

Final Prediction: Juventus 2-2 Borussia Dortmund

Considering Juventus’ occasional defensive lapses and Dortmund’s ability to finish chances, a 2-2 draw feels like the most balanced outcome. Both teams should find the net, and this scoreline reflects their contrasting strengths – Juve’s flair up front and Dortmund’s efficiency.
