Juventus vs Pafos Prediction & Betting Tips (10 December)

Juventus is doing better since the arrival on the bench of Luciano Spalletti, successor to Igor Tudor. With their new coach, the Turinese won their first success of the league phase two weeks ago, on the pitch of Bodo/Glimt 2-3. Coming after a draw at home against Sporting 1-1, this however does not allow the Piedmont club to take off in the standings. It still suffers from its poor start to the season and finds itself 22nd, tied on points with the first club virtually eliminated, before the matches of the 6th day. Since this victory in Norway, the Old Lady has moved closer to the top 5 in Serie A thanks to a success over Cagliari 2-1 and had a lot to do on Sunday in Napoli. They also logically qualified for the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup last week at the expense of Udinese 2-0.

Pafos, one of the new kids in the Champions League, surprises after 5 days. Recently defeating Villarreal 1-0 and managing to hold off AS Monaco 2-2, the Cypriot champion is in the midst of qualifying for the play-offs, in 24th position. He also made a good impression in the Championship, taking his place at the top of the ranking, and was seeking a third victory in a row on Friday against Chloraka. David Luiz and his teammates remained on victories against Aris Limassol 2-1 and Krasava 2-3. They have been undefeated in all competitions since October 27. 

Juventus prepared for this meeting without the central defenders Bremer, Rugani and Gatti, the third goalkeeper Pinsoglio, the striker Milik absent for the duration and, still at the forefront, the holder Vlahovic (3 goals in the Champions League). The absence of the last city should allow the former Lille player David and Openda to show themselves more than in the first months of the year. The two former Ligue 1 players also contributed to the victory at Bodo/Glimt by each scoring a goal. Yildiz was involved in 3 goals in the league phase, making him the most decisive Turin player behind Vlahovic. The other executives McKennie, Kalulu and Koopmeiners are also on deck. On the Pafos side, the corridor player Correia has finished serving his 2-match suspension.

He is applying for a return to the starting lineup while winger Sema (no goals in 17 games in all competitions) is expected to forfeit. Finally, the list of players qualified for the league phase does not include Brazilian defender Pedrão, goalkeeper Gorter, Mimovic (right side) and midfielders Odefalk and Brito. Scorer against AS Monaco, David Luiz has made a starting place in the hinge, in the Champions League as in the Championship, and should continue to pair with Luckassen. The former Brazilian international embodies the revival of Pafos. 

• Summary: Juventus U19 is going head to head with Pafos FC U19 starting on 10 Dec 2025 at 14:00 UTC . The match is a part of the UEFA Youth League .
