Juventus Begin Pre-Season In U.S.
It’s always an exciting time of the year when Europe’s best clubs embark on their pre-season trips around the world. As part of their preparations for the new season, Juventus will play three games in the U.S.
After this fixture against Mexico’s most popular club, the Old Lady, come up against Barcelona and Real Madrid. Allegri’s biggest challenge over the coming weeks is discovering the best tactics for the season ahead.
Allegri’s Challenge
Their chances of regaining the Serie A title are certainly improved following the arrivals of Paul Pogba and Angel Di Maria on free transfers, and both could feature in Las Vegas.
However, the Old Lady will also be looking to find solutions to problems that have arisen following departures.
Juventus Defense
That is most crucial when it comes to their defense, as both Matthijs de Ligt and Giorgio Chiellini have both departed.
This fixture will be a nice easing into pre-season, with bigger challenges set to come over the next two weeks.
But, one eye will still be on the transfer market, as Juventus look to offload Aaron Ramsey and Artur, while a new signing in the defense will need to happen before the start of the season.
Juventus Predicted Line-Up (4-4-1-1):
- Perin
- De Sciglio
- Bonucci, Rugani
- Sandro, Chiesa
- Pogba
- McKennie
- Rabiot
- Di Maria
- Vlahovic
- Perin
- De Sciglio

Guadalajara Looking To Pick Up Morale-Boosting Win
After studying the recent Guadalajara form, it would be hard to be making much of a case for them in our soccer picks.
It has been a very dry run for one of the most successful teams in Mexican soccer, as they haven’t won a trophy since the CONCACAF Champions League’s success in 2018.
Guadalajara’s Season Expectations
There hasn’t been much evidence this season to point towards that changing in the immediate future, either.
They warmed up for the new season with a very strong 3-1 win against Santos Laguna, but that momentum hasn’t continued into the new Liga MX campaign.
Guadalajara failed to score in their first two league games, including a 1-0 defeat at home against San Luis.
They finally picked up their first point of the new season last weekend, as Jose Gonzalez scored in a 1-1 draw on the road against Santos Laguna.
Guadalajara’s Discipline Issues
However, discipline issues were evident as they dropped more points, as the players’ frustration was clear following Antonio Briseno’s dismissal in the final ten minutes.
If nothing else, this friendly will give Ricardo Cadena an opportunity to test out new players ahead of an important run of fixtures in the league.
Guadalajara Predicted Line-Up (3-1-4-2):
- Jimenez
- Sepulveda
- Olivas
- Orozco
- Gonzalez
- Cisneros
- Calderon
- Beltra
- Alvarado
- Gonzalez
- Vega
Juventus vs. Guadalajara Pick and Prediction
After assessing the Juventus vs. Guadalajara odds and picks, it looks hard to oppose the Italian giants on Friday night.
Allegri’s side will be looking to hit the ground running ahead of a big season, and while he is likely to make a number of changes at the break, every player will be looking to shine on their first start this summer.
Looking at the Club Friendly odds, we struggle to see past the Old Lady getting the win, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see Dusan Vlahovic pick up where he left off and get himself on the scoresheet.
Soccer Pick: Juventus -1.5 (-105)
