AI summary
Juventus travel to Nijmegen for their Europa League opener against a Dutch side built on an aggressive, possession-focused philosophy under Schreuder. NEC narrowly missed Champions League qualification after losing to Bodo/Glimt but have established themselves as one of the Eredivisie's most entertaining teams. The squad includes several players with Italian connections: Schuurs, who played for Torino, has recently returned from a serious knee injury, while Tadic was part of the Ajax team that knocked Juventus out of the Champions League in 2019.
