Atletico Madrid and Juventus will round off their preparations for their 2024-25 campaigns with a glamour friendly in Sweden on Sunday afternoon.

Atletico:

Atletico Madrid have shown positive signs in their pre-season, with a blend of solid defense and attacking prowess. Victories against Getafe (3-1) and Kitchee (6-1) suggest that Diego Simeone’s side is finding its rhythm. The integration of new signings Robin Le Normand and Alexander Sorloth appears smooth, adding depth to both defense and attack. As they face Juventus, Atletico will look to solidify their tactics and build momentum ahead of their La Liga opener against Villarreal, aiming to improve on their fourth-place finish from last season.

Juventus:

Juventus, meanwhile, are adjusting to life under new manager Thiago Motta, with their pre-season form being less convincing. A 3-0 loss to Nurnberg and a 2-2 draw with Brest highlight areas that need improvement. However, the arrival of Douglas Luiz and other key transfers like Khephren Thuram and Juan Cabal could provide the necessary boost. This final friendly against Atletico offers a crucial opportunity to address tactical issues and integrate new players before their Serie A campaign begins against Como. Juventus will aim to sharpen their defense and find a cohesive attacking strategy to avoid last season’s shortcomings.

Prediction:  1-1
