Juventus kick off their preparations for the 2022-23 campaign when they square off against CD Guadalajara in a friendly at the Allegiant Stadium on Saturday.
The Mexican Liga MX outfit head into the weekend winless in six consecutive games across all competitions and will be looking to end this dry spell.
Juventus endured a somewhat disappointing 2021-22 campaign as they finished fourth in the Serie A standings while also falling short in the Coppa Italia final.
The Turin giants ended the season without a win in their final four outings, picking up one draw and losing on three different occasions, including a 4-2 loss against Inter Milan in the cup final on May 11.
However, Massimiliano Allegri has dived into the transfer market in search of reinforcements as they look to challenge for the Scudetto in the upcoming season.
Juventus have snapped up the likes of Angel Di Maria, Gleison Bremer and former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba as they continue to bolster their ranks.
Meanwhile, Guadalajara failed to find their feet in Liga MX last time out as they were held to a goalless draw by Club Leon on home turf.
They have now failed to taste victory in their opening four games of the 2022-23 campaign, picking up three draws and losing once.
With three points from a possible 12, Guadalajara are currently 14th in the Mexican Liga MX standings, two points above last-placed Club Tijuana.

While Juventus ran out of steam at the tail end of last season, they will be looking to begin their pre-season with a bang. They take on a floundering Guadalajara side who are winless in six straight games and we predict they will claim a comfortable win.
