The friendly match between Juventus and AC Milan will take place at Dignity Health Sports Park on Friday at 8:00 am IST.
In their quest to bounce back from a challenging 2022-23 season, two prominent Italian football clubs, Juventus and AC Milan, intensify their efforts to gear up for the upcoming season with a head-to-head encounter in California on Thursday. Juventus encounter against Barcelona was called off due to a viral bug affecting several players in the Barca squad. Meanwhile, AC Milan began their pre season at the Rose Bowl against Real Madrid.
Juventus has had a challenging year both on and off the field. Last season, Juventus faced financial irregularities and was penalized with a 10-point deduction, leading them to finish seventh in Serie A, a significant 28 points behind the league winners, Napoli. As a consequence, the club lost their spot in the Europa Conference League, receiving a year-long ban from European competitions by UEFA. Before their first league match against Udinese next month, Juventus will also play against Real Madrid during their time in the United States, following their encounter with familiar rivals on Thursday night, AC Milan.
Continuing their dominance over Juventus in the 2022-23 season, Milan achieved a double victory with a 2-0 win at San Siro and a 1-0 win in Turin. In addition to their success in domestic matches, Milan outperformed Juventus on the European stage as well. However, Milan’s title defense faltered in the middle of the season, and they had a lackluster performance in Serie A, finishing fourth in the final standings. After Paolo Maldini’s departure, the club’s new recruitment team has been actively investing the funds generated from the sale of star midfielder Sandro Tonali to Newcastle United.
Juventus probable starting lineup: Szczesny, Danilo, Bremer, Gatti, Weah, Miretti, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic, Chiesa, Milik
AC Milan probable starting lineup: Maignan, Calabria, Tomori, Thiaw, Hernandez, Krunic, Reijnders, Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Leao, Giroud
