A new era unfolds for the Old Lady under Thiago Motta.

Nürnberg will begin their new season against Karlsruher SC in the opening weekend of the Bundesliga second division. The team are led by the legendary Miroslav Klose who has done a decent job so far. They are yet to lose a match having started their preparation for the new season against SpVgg Ansbach in the opening match which they comfortably won by 4-1. However, in the last match, they were limited to a 1-1 draw against 1860 Munich. Miroslav Klose will now face his biggest test in the form of Juventus in this match. 

Juventus begin a new era under the regime of Thiago Motta who has been appointed to bring back the glory days. After finishing third in the league, the Bianconeri managed to finish the season with silverware, having won the Coppa Italia.

 The team is going through a lot of transition with big players like Douglas Luiz, Khephren Thuram, and Di Gregorio making the moves. This match is going to be the first of many Juventus are going to face in preseason which will be a real test for the new boss.

Players to Watch

Stefanos Tzimas (Nürnberg) 

The summer addition from PAOK Thessaloniki FC is an exciting prospect who has already caught the eye of Miroslav Klose despite turning 18 years old this year. He had a breakthrough campaign last year after netting four goals in 23 appearances for the team. His performances were enough for Nürnberg to move quickly to secure his services on loan for this season. 

Dusan Vlahovic (Juventus) 

Dusan Vlahovic had a fantastic campaign last term for the Bianconeri despite their underwhelming season which saw Massimiliano Allegri losing his job. Dusan Vlahovic was one of their shining lights as he finished the season scoring 18 goals while also notching another four assists. With Thiago Motta taking charge now, he will be aiming to play a key role for the team in this preseason tour.

Meanwhile, Juventus have left out Wojciech Szczesny, Dean Huijsen, Weston McKennie, and Federico Chiesa due to speculation surrounding their future with the club.
