Juventus have experienced frequent coaching changes in recent seasons. Allegri was dismissed after winning the Coppa Italia despite finishing third in Serie A, while Tiago Motta was publicly deemed a failure. Tudor managed to finish fourth in the league during spring, but was sacked following a winless streak. Even Spalletti has already faced setbacks in his new tenure. Pafos, on the other hand, became Cypriot champions for the first time in spring and are determined to defend their top spot.

Juventus vs Pafos: Match Overview
Juventus have experienced frequent coaching changes in recent seasons. Allegri was dismissed after winning the Coppa Italia despite finishing third in Serie A, while Tiago Motta was publicly deemed a failure. Tudor managed to finish fourth in the league during spring, but was sacked following a winless streak. Even Spalletti has already faced setbacks in his new tenure. Pafos, on the other hand, became Cypriot champions for the first time in spring and are determined to defend their top spot.

Our Prediction for Juventus vs Pafos
In the Champions League, Juventus have struggled for consistency. Vlahović helped the team secure a home draw against Borussia Dortmund, but the Italians then dropped points with a 2-2 draw at Villarreal. After a 0-1 defeat to Real Madrid, another coaching change occurred, but Luciano’s tenure started with only a 1-1 draw against Sporting Lisbon. Their only recent victory was a 3-2 win over Bodø/Glimt.

Pafos are making their European competition debut. Starting in the summer, they eliminated Maccabi Tel Aviv, Dynamo Kyiv, and Crvena Zvezda in the qualifiers. In the main stage, the Cypriot newcomers only lost to Bayern Munich (1-5), and have achieved a win against Villarreal along with draws against Olympiacos, Kairat, and Monaco.
