Prediction for the Warm-Up Match: Juventus PK Nuremberg Kicks Off Pre-Season Journey—The Bianconeri Need to Rehearse Their Offensive Tactics

On July 26 at 23:00, a warm-up match will see Juventus take on Nuremberg. This is Juventus’ first official warm-up match of the summer, and it will be intriguing to see what competitive form the Bianconeri can display.

In the 2023-24 Serie A season, Juventus finished third with 19 wins, 14 draws, and 5 losses, accumulating 71 points. In the Coppa Italia final, Juventus triumphed 1-0 over Atalanta to claim the title and restore some pride. However, considering that Juventus did not have to worry about external competitions in the previous season and could focus solely on domestic fixtures, their performance was not entirely satisfactory.

In the summer transfer window, notable moves by Juventus included the signings of Caballer for €12.8 million, Luis for €51.5 million, and Khefran Thuram-Ulien for €20.6 million. With the return to Champions League football in the new season, the Bianconeri have made ample preparations and have been generous in the transfer market.

In the previous Serie A season, Juventus scored only 54 goals, the joint-lowest among the top six teams. For the Bianconeri, quickly integrating their attacking line during the off-season has become a pressing need. After all, weak offensive capabilities will significantly impact the team’s ability to compete on multiple fronts. The opposition in this match is of average strength, so Juventus can use strong attacking play to dominate the game.

Juventus will begin their Serie A campaign on August 20. Before the start of the season, they will play friendly matches against Nuremberg, Brest, Juventus U23, and Atlético Madrid.

Nuremberg does not possess great overall strength and currently competes in the Bundesliga second division. In the previous Bundesliga second division season, Nuremberg finished twelfth with 11 wins, 7 draws, and 16 losses, accumulating 40 points, making them a mid-to-lower table team. Given Nuremberg’s strength, it will be a difficult task for them to return to the Bundesliga in the new season.
