The Juventus vs NEC Nijmegen fixture arrives in the UEFA Europa League on 17 September 2026, opening the league-phase campaign for both clubs. In the 36-team Europa League standings compiled ahead of the round, Juventus sit 16th and NEC Nijmegen 24th, though both figures come with zero matches played in the competition this season, so they reflect seeding rather than results on the pitch.
Head-to-Head Record
Juventus and NEC Nijmegen have no recorded head-to-head meetings, so there is no prior scoreline, win/draw split or aggregate goal figure to draw on for this fixture. With no shared history to lean on, current form and each side’s standing in this season’s Europa League give the more useful context heading into the match.
Juventus: Recent Form
Juventus arrive on the back of a W3 D1 L2 run across their last six matches, following the sequence L D W W W L, with nine goals scored against six conceded and a form points-per-game figure of 1.67. They have kept three clean sheets in that spell and have failed to score in none of the six matches. It’s worth noting that two of those six matches – the wins and losses against Palermo and Inter Milan – were friendlies rather than competitive fixtures, so only four of the six carry competitive weight. Most recently, Juventus lost 2-3 away to Sassuolo on 13 September 2026 having drawn 1-1 at home with AC Milan the game before.
