Juventus vs Borussia Dortmund preview: Prediction, date, kick-off times, venue, how to watch Champions League match on DAZN
The Champions League returns for the 2025-26 season, and you can see all the action live in selected countries on DAZN.
The competition once again begins with the new league phase after it was introduced last season, and matchday one sees some huge games across three nights, including Juventus' opener against German side Borussia Dortmund.
Juventus will be looking for a quick start to the league phase after struggling through the expanded format last season, when they finished 20th and had to play in the knockout phase play-offs. It was in that round where the Bianconeri's journey ended, as they fell to PSV Eindhoven and did not advance to the last-16.
Meanwhile, Dortmund had a better time of things in last season's competition, finishing 10th in the league phase and making their way to the quarter-finals.
DAZN News has all the information ahead of Juventus vs Borussia Dortmund.

Juventus vs Borussia Dortmund - the key men
Jonathan David - Juventus
Acquired over the summer to be the spearhead of Juventus' attack, David was a menace in last year's Champions League for Lille as he scored against Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Liverpool and even Juventus, among others.
The Canadian has found his scoring form this already season for both club and country and will be relied upon for goals throughout a Champions League campaign that Juve hope will be much longer than the previous one.

Serhou Guirassy - Borussia Dortmund
The Guinea striker is Dortmund's key attacker and has four Bundesliga goals to his name already.
As Guirassy goes, so goes his team, and the 29-year-old is one of the most underrated strikers in Europe.
Juventus vs Borussia Dortmund prediction
The Bianconeri will be highly motivated to establish Allianz Stadium as a fortess in this year's competition, and their renewed focus should be enough to see them collect the three points.
