Juventus’ pre-season preparations get underway at the Allegiant Stadium Las Vegas as they meet Liga MX powerhouse Chivas Guadalajara in their second-ever match-up.
Following back-to-back fourth-place finishes in Serie A, record-time Italian champions Juventus have performed massive changes to their roster. Paulo Dybala and Matthijs de Ligt left Turin to link up with Roma and Bayern Munich, respectively, while Paul Pogba, Angel Di Maria and Gleison Bremer signed long-term contracts at the Allianz Stadium. Massimiliano Allegri’s rejuvenated squad will be looking to bounce back from an underwhelming three-game winless streak from the tail-end of last season (D1, L2). A mega-money acquisition of Bremer could prove particularly significant, as ‘I Bianconeri’ have conceded 2+ goals in four consecutive outings preceding their United States Tour.
In the meantime, 12-time Mexican Chivas Guadalajara have endured a false start to the new Liga MX season, going winless in their opening four league fixtures (D3, L1). It goes from bad to worse as Ricardo Cadena’s side scored just once during that four-game sequence, casting doubt on their ability to trouble Leonardo Bonucci and co. Going back to mid-May, ‘Las Chivas’ have picked up just one victory from seven matches, including friendlies (D4, L2). Based on their current form, Guadalajara will need nothing short of a miracle if they are to avenge a narrow 1-0 defeat in their only previous meeting with Juventus. They can find some comfort in the knowing they have conceded an average of 0.5 goals per match across their last four outings.
