Juventus: defensive stability remains the main focus

Juventus have completed five warm-up matches ahead of the new season. After starting with a 0-0 draw against Basel, Igor Tudor’s side recorded three consecutive victories, beating Standard Liège 1-0, Nice 2-0, and Chelsea 1-0.

Their positive run came to an end in the latest Derby d’Italia, where Juventus suffered a 2-1 defeat against Inter. The result also ended their impressive streak of three straight clean-sheet wins. The Bianconeri’s recent matches have generally been tight affairs, with four of their last five fixtures producing fewer than three total goals and seeing at least one side fail to score.
