NEC's 'Dickie-taka' style of play, which is characterized by high pressure and an aggressive approach, is expected to test Juventus' defense. As Tuttosport notes, NEC's coach Dick Schreuder transformed the club into one of the most exciting teams in the Netherlands, and their tactical identity is so recognizable that it has earned them a nickname. The Dutch team's style of play is based on high pressure and an obsessive pursuit of ball possession, which can be both effective and unpredictable.
Juventus' recent loss to Sassuolo in the Serie A has left them eighth in the table, five points behind leaders AS Roma and Internazionale. The Europa League match against NEC is seen as a crucial test for Spalletti and his team, who need to find a way to win. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus are expected to start with loanee Nick Woltemade, while Randal Kolo Muani is still a doubt due to injury.
