Juventus vs Nice Preview – prediction, team news, lineups | Pre-Season Friendly

The only outing between these clubs took place in 1952.

The Serie A giants, Juventus, will now be facing off against the Ligue 1 club, OGC Nice. These clubs are going to square off for a club friendly battle, taking place at the Juventus Training Center Continassa.

The Old Lady have been a part of two pre-season matches already. They are still looking for ways to get their tactics. The Luciano Spalletti-led side was held to a goalless draw by FC Basel and then came out on top to secure a 1-0 win against Standard Liege.

Juventus will be looking for yet another win, but it is surely going to be a tough outing for them. Many of their top stars are slowly coming back to action. They are still missing out on a good striker. As per the current scenario, the Italian club are reportedly in talks to sign Joshua Zirkzee from Man United.
