Juventus continues their preparations for the upcoming season by welcoming OGC Nice to the Juventus Training Center Continassa for a competitive club friendly.
Under the guidance of Luciano Spalletti, the team is working on building their fitness and cohesion after starting pre-season with a 0-0 draw against FC Basel and a narrow 1-0 victory over Standard Liege. The club remains active in the transfer market, seeking to bolster their attacking options, while several players are returning from their commitments at the World Cup.
Nice approaches this match with confidence following back-to-back wins against Nîmes and Marseille. Claude Puel’s team has shown promise in their attacking play during pre-season, viewing this fixture as a chance to measure themselves against top European teams.
While it is likely that both sides will make several substitutions during the game, this match offers an important opportunity for both teams to assess their readiness ahead of the new season.
