Juventus’ push to force their way back into the Serie A title battle is set to be a fascinating sub plot in the coming months following two seasons of struggle to challenge at the top of the table.
Max Allegri’s objective is clear in trying to haul back San Siro pair Inter and Milan, on the back of a Scudetto title win each, and the experienced coach has overseen a summer of changes in Turin.
Bremer and Federico Chiesa have come in, from Torino and Fiorentina respectively, with free transfer swoops for Angel di Maria and former star Paul Pogba.
However, Pogba’s return has been immediately disrupted by a serious knee injury, which is expected to sideline the French international until after the September international break.
Allegri’s charges have struggled in preseason with a draw against Barcelona and defeats against Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid ahead of the new campaign.
However, they should still have enough to win this game, with Sassuolo already knocked out of the Coppa Italia, on the back of a similarly underwhelming preseason.
Juventus have also looked impressive in front of goal in recent weeks, averaging one goal per 90 minutes this summer, and that will be looking to start the new campaign in positive style this weekend.
The arrival of Bremer is expected to improve their defensive record and a clean sheet at home would be an additional confidence boost for Allegri and his players.
A comfortable Juventus victory looks to be a realistic option in this tie with Allegri knowing he cannot afford to allow his title rivals to gain an edge in momentum from the start of the campaign.

@Brian yeah I noticed that one two lol. How about Chiesa being fit for the bench?? Chiesa hasn’t even trained with the full squad yet. I wonder which Midfield position will Perin occupy ?? Is he stepping in for Pogba lol. I think this article needs to be rewritten by someone who has more knowledge about Juventus.
