Juventus-Juventus Next Gen is a friendly and is played Tuesday at 6:30pm: news, stats, likely lineups, prediction, live TV and streaming.
Usual family friendly for Thiago Motta’s Juventus, which will face Paolo Montero’s Next Gen at Allianz Stadium – not Villar Perosa as was the case in the past. One defeat and one draw (3-0 with Nuremberg and 2-2 with Brest) so far for the Bianconeri: more than for the game expressed, the “new” Signora has made headlines for the excellent exclusions, which translate into clear market clues.
The most surprising one – but really not more than that – was the nonconvocation of Federico Chiesa, officially for sale after the shipwrecked contract renewal negotiations. In addition to him, Motta, ahead of the test with Brest, left several players (Milik, De Sciglio, Rugani, McKennie, Kostic and others) at Continassa who will most likely no longer be part of his project. On the field, on the other hand, Juventus was only partially convincing: some progress was seen compared to the German debacle – the newcomer Douglas Luiz was one of the best on the field – but the defensive phase proved again ineffective (5 total goals conceded so far in the preseason).
The truth is that in front of Motta there is currently an open building site, and between now and the end of August, market movements will contribute to disrupting the squad available to the former Bologna coach. On the contrary, Next Gen, which will participate in this year’s Serie C girone C championship, seems to already have clear ideas: Montero’s boys have just overwhelmed with the result of 5-2 a team of superior category such as Catanzaro, also playing excellent soccer.
The prediction
Juventus should not miss the appointment with victory this time but its goal may again not remain inviolate.
