This Europa League match was clearly framed from the start: Juventus are likely to dominate possession and push forward, while Celta de Vigo will sit back and wait for counter-attacking chances. Looking at the numbers, in the last 10 matches across all competitions Juventus have 57.8% possession and 6.5 shots on target per game, clearly higher than the hosts' 3.78 shots on target per game. Celta de Vigo come into this with an attack that is not yet sharp, but they are not a team that is easy to beat. In their own league, in 8 matches they have 1 win, 5 draws, 2 losses, scoring 8 and conceding 6, and they are unbeaten in 2 straight. As for Juventus, in their own league in 6 matches they have 3 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss, scoring 9 and conceding 5, but they have not won in their last 2 matches. If Juventus score first, the game is likely to suit the visitors even more, because the hosts will have to open up and fight, which will leave gaps for the team that already dominates possession to play more easily. But if the hosts can hold out until the late stages, the game could turn into one where Juventus have to push and risk being caught on the counter.
