Atletico Madrid-Juventus is a friendly and is played Sunday at 3 p.m.: news, stats, likely lineups, prediction, live TV and streaming.
Juventus’ preseason has been far from exciting. The results of the friendlies may not be a cause for concern, but the defeat to Nuremberg and the draw with Brest made it clear how much the Bianconeri team is currently an open building site with the sign of work in progress displayed on it.
Juventus’ soccer market plans are proceeding in slow motion because so many players who are no longer part of new coach Thiago Motta’s project have not yet found a new team. And so new arrivals are also delaying, most notably that of Koopmeiners who should be central to the offensive maneuver.
Skipped Todibo, Juventus is also still looking for another central defender. This other friendly against Simeone’s revamped Atletico Madrid will not be easy, the players have yet to assimilate the former Bologna man’s new concepts and especially the defenders are struggling.
The prediction
Atletico Madrid should avoid defeat in a game of at least one goal per team.

ATLETICO MADRID (3-5-2):Moldovan; Llorente, Azpilicueta, Witsel, Reinildo Mandava; Vermeeren, Koke; Correa, Joao Felix, Samuel Lino; Sorloth.
