Juventus Vs Inter will be the first seasonal meeting between the two clubs, with the friendly in Perth scheduled for Saturday 8 August at 13:00. It is a useful last check for Spalletti and Chivu, coming about two weeks before the start of Serie A.
The game is set for 19:00 local time in Perth, and it arrives with both coaches still able to look at different options. That is the point of a preseason meeting like this: it is less about the result than about seeing how the pieces fit before the season begins for real.
What this Juventus Vs Inter match means
For Juventus and Inter, this is the kind of test that can tell you plenty without carrying the full pressure of league football. The reported lineups include multiple alternatives for both teams, which suggests both managers are still using this stage to judge balance, roles and rhythm.
Spalletti will want to see whether Juventus can look organised and sharp enough to take that momentum into Serie A. Chivu, meanwhile, has the same task with Inter: use the friendly to check progress, look at solutions and make sure the team is ready when the competitive games begin.
When and where to watch
Juventus Vs Inter is scheduled for Saturday 8 August at 13:00, with the match taking place in Perth. The available television options listed are Dazn and Sky Sport.
That makes it a straightforward fixture for supporters to follow, even if the timing will suit some audiences better than others. More importantly, it gives both clubs a final public run-out before the opening weeks of Serie A.
Reported lineups and selection questions
The reported lineups include names such as Di Gregorio, Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso, Locatelli, Douglas Luiz, Zhegrova, Mckennie, Yildiz and David for Juventus, while Inter’s options include Martinez, Bisseck, Pavard, Bastoni, Carlos Augusto, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco, Esposito and Bonny.
There are also other alternatives in the wider group, including Frattesi, Diouf, Luis Henrique, Bovio, Alajbegovic and Conceiçao. The key point is not to overread any single selection, but to note how many moving parts are still being considered.
As preseason tests go, Juventus Vs Inter has a clear purpose. It is a useful early marker, a first seasonal meeting in a setting that allows both sides to learn before the real pressure of Serie A starts to build.
