From the source

When the Europa League fixture list was released a couple of months ago, you saw the official midway point of the league phase and the matchup against AZ Alkmaar as the likely toughest one of the bunch.

A trip to Spain to face Celta Vigo would be challenging, so would Real Sociedad on the final day of the league phase where they could be a spot in the top eight and two less fixtures at stake.

That trip to the Netherlands is here. And so is Juventus’ second Europa League fixture against a Dutch opponent in the first four games of the league phase this season.
