Juventus-Brest is a friendly and will be played Saturday at 9 p.m.: news, stats, likely lineups, prediction, live TV and streaming.
In the second pre-season friendly, Thiago Motta’s Juventus will try to file away the surprising 3-0 loss suffered in the first test against Nürnberg, a formation that plays in the German Serie B.
In Germany a week ago, almost nothing worked, but the extenuating circumstances are there. There were several Next Gen elements on the field (from Barbieri to Gonzalez via Hasa and Sekulov). And many first-team players had just returned from their post-European and American Cup vacations.
And then it will undoubtedly take time for Vlahovic and his teammates to internalize the dictates of the game proposed by the Italobrazilian coach, whose mentality is in some ways the opposite of that of his predecessor Massimiliano Allegri. While waiting for interesting news from the market – there will surely be more signings as well as new disposals, including the likely one of Chiesa – Motta will send out a less experimental eleven in the friendly with Brest. The red and white were the great revelation of the last Ligue 1 – they won a historic qualification to the Champions League – scheduled at the Adriatico in Pescara. Eric Roy’s men have collected two knockouts in the last tests, narrowly surrendering to Ligue 2 club Laval and Antonio Conte’s Napoli, who came out on top 1-0 thanks to a goal by Raspadori. In the 4-2-3-1 designed by the former Bologna coach, Gatti and Djalò will find space, while Locatelli and Thuram will make up the midfield. In attack Vlahovic – the Serbian center forward missed a penalty with Nuremberg – will be supported by the talented Adzic, one of the new signings.
The prediction
Lect to expect a more responsive Juventus than in the match with Nuremberg. Bianconeri favored in a match in which they could, however, cash in at least one goal.
