Juventus began their UEFA Europa League campaign with a dominant display at home and they look good value to make it two wins from two when they visit Celta Vigo on Thursday.
Celta were beaten in their opener by Omonia Nicosia and have struggled to win so far this term, but they will hope their stubborn defence can frustrate the visiting Italians.
Thursday's hosts put in some excellent displays en route to the Europa League quarter-finals last season, but their return to continental action proved less fruitful as they fell to defeat in Cyprus on matchday one.

Celta Vigo v Juventus Prediction
Best Bet: Juventus to win @ 23/20
A disappointing domestic campaign last season saw Juventus miss out on UEFA Champions League qualification, but they head into matchday two of the Europa League as 6/1 favourites to lift the trophy, and they can be backed to extend their winning start at Estadio de Balaidos.
The Old Lady destroyed NEC Nijmegen 5-0 in their opener in this competition, with that result being one of two victories in their last three outings.
Their hosts, Celta Vigo, made a quarter-final run in this competition last term, but the 2026/27 campaign has begun with just one win from nine games, which includes a 1-0 defeat to Omonia Nicosia in their Europa League opener.
They have scored just eight goals in those nine games and five of those came in a single match against Racing Santander, who have the worst defensive record in La Liga.
Expect the Spaniards to struggle against a more talented Juventus side.
Alternative Bet: Under 2.5 goals @ 8/11
Celta have averaged less than a goal per game this season and there is little to suggest they can trouble the Juventus defenders, but Os Celestes have a formidable back line of their own and that could lead to a low-scoring affair in Vigo.
Under 2.5 goals has landed in seven of Celta's nine matches this season, with an average of just 1.67 goals scored per game across that period.
Juve's last three matches have produced just five goals in total and six of their eight games this season have featured fewer than three goals, so expect a cagey affair on Thursday.
Celta Vigo v Juventus Bet Builder Tip
Randal Kolo Muani to score or assist
Nicolas Gonzalez 1+ shot on target
Nicolas Gonzalez 2+ fouls won
Yoel Lago 2+ fouls committed
Pays 29/4
Randal Kolo Muani has impressed since returning to Juventus permanently this summer and he heads to Spain in high spirits after finding the net against Cagliari at the weekend.
That was his fourth goal contribution in his last four appearances for the Old Lady, including a fantastic cameo in the Europa League against NEC Nijmegen, where he managed a goal and an assist in just 20 minutes.
Fellow attacker Nicolas Gonzalez is expected to be a threat, too. He has averaged 3.16 shots per 90 minutes this season and has hit the target at least once in four of his six games.
The Argentina international has also been fouled a team-high 12 times this term and his two fouls drawn against Cagliari mean he has been upended at least twice in each of his last four games.
Celta defender Yoel Lago could be responsible for one of those offences. He has committed 16 fouls in eight appearances this season, registering eight infringements in his last two games and picking up four bookings in his last five.
