Juventus will begin their 2026/27 Serie A campaign on Sunday afternoon when they travel to Stadio Benito Stirpe to face newly promoted Frosinone, with both sides entering the new season with very different ambitions.
The Bianconeri are looking to put last season’s disappointing finish behind them after missing out on Champions League qualification, while Frosinone return to the Italian top flight determined to avoid an immediate return to Serie B.
For Juventus, the opening weekend represents an opportunity to draw a line under a frustrating end to the previous campaign.
The Turin giants collected just five points from their final five league matches last season, a run which ultimately cost them a place in the top four. A draw against Torino on the final weekend confirmed their failure to secure Champions League football, leaving the club to settle for a place in the Europa League.
Luciano Spalletti remains in charge and will be hoping the lessons from last season’s collapse have been absorbed by his players.
Juventus have shown encouraging signs during pre-season. After beginning with a goalless draw against Basel, they picked up victories against Standard Liege and Nice before recording an impressive win over Chelsea. They also defeated Palermo, although their preparations included a defeat against Inter Milan.
The club have also undergone considerable changes during the summer, with Dusan Vlahovic departing after the end of his contract while several new faces have arrived as Spalletti looks to reshape his squad.
Historically, Juventus have been strong on the opening day. They have won 13 of their last 15 Serie A season openers, while keeping clean sheets in six of their last seven. That record will provide plenty of confidence heading into Frosinone’s home.
The hosts, however, will not simply be looking to make up the numbers.
Frosinone earned promotion back to Serie A at the second attempt last season after finishing just one point behind champions Venezia in Serie B. Massimiliano Alvini’s side were particularly impressive at home, recording 12 wins from their 19 league matches.
Their strength from set pieces could also prove important. Frosinone scored 29 goals from dead-ball situations last season, including 14 from corners, and Juventus will need to remain alert whenever the hosts win free kicks or corners around the box.
Frosinone vs Juventus team news
Juventus will begin life without Vlahovic, leaving Arkadiusz Milik, Jonathan David and Randal Kolo Muani as the main options to lead the attack.
Kolo Muani has returned to the club, while Kerim Alajbegovic and Zeki Celik are among the new arrivals brought in to strengthen Spalletti’s squad.
Italy international Jeff Ekhator is expected to miss out because of a thigh problem, while Federico Gatti remains a doubt.
Guglielmo Vicario is expected to make his competitive debut in goal after replacing Michele Di Gregorio as Juventus’ first-choice goalkeeper.
Frosinone will be looking towards their attacking players for inspiration, with Fares Ghedjemis having scored 15 times in Serie B last season. Midfielder Giacomo Calo was also highly influential, contributing 25 goal involvements.
New arrivals Florian Grillitsch and Terzic could be involved after missing the Coppa Italia victory, while Seydou Fini returns from suspension.
Frosinone vs Juventus possible lineups
Frosinone possible starting lineup: Palmisani; Oyono, Calvani, Monterisi, Bracaglia; Masini, Calo; Ghedjemis, Schmid, Kvernadze; Raimondo
Juventus possible starting lineup: Vicario; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Luiz; Conceicao, McKennie, Yildiz; Kolo Muani
Frosinone vs Juventus head to head record
Frosinone’s record against Juventus is far less encouraging, however. They have lost five of their last six Serie A meetings with the Bianconeri, while their only top-flight victory over the Turin giants came in 2024.
The Canarini have already gained momentum in the Coppa Italia, beating Juve Stabia 4-1 to progress to the second round. That result followed a defeat to Lazio in their final pre-season fixture.
Frosinone vs Juventus prediction
Frosinone’s promotion and strong home record last season make this an interesting opening test for Juventus, but the visitors have greater experience and considerably more quality across the pitch.
Spalletti will be keen to avoid another slow start and should have enough attacking options to punish Frosinone’s defensive weaknesses.
The hosts could make life uncomfortable for Juventus, particularly from set pieces, but the Bianconeri are expected to eventually take control.
