Juventus continue their pre-season preparations when they host OGC Nice at the Juventus Training Center Continassa in what promises to be a competitive club friendly.
Luciano Spalletti’s side are still building fitness and rhythm after opening pre-season with a goalless draw against FC Basel before edging Standard Liege 1-0. The Italian giants remain active in the transfer market as they search for attacking reinforcements, while several first-team players continue their return from World Cup duty.
Nice arrive in confident mood after consecutive victories over Nîmes and Marseille. Claude Puel’s side have looked sharp in attack during pre-season and will see this encounter as another opportunity to test themselves against elite European opposition.
Although both teams are expected to rotate throughout the contest, the clash should provide a valuable assessment ahead of the new campaign.
TEAM NEWS
Juventus remain without Kenan Yildiz, who is yet to return following the 2026 FIFA World Cup, while Jeff Ekhator is sidelined through injury. Gleison Bremer has rejoined the squad, and Lois Openda has departed on loan.
