The most memorable game between these two came in the Champions League round of 16 last season. Atletico took a 2-0 advantage into the second leg after late goals from centre-backs Jose Gimenez and Diego Godin, much to the delight of manager Simeone, as shown by his 'cajones' celebration. 

Former Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo stole the show in the second leg, scoring an unanswered hat-trick at the Allianz Stadium to send Juventus through to the quarter finals.

Recent Form

Atletico have had a busy and highly successful pre-season campaign, winning all five games. Simeone's side has been characteristically strong at the back and exciting going forward with new club record signing Joao Felix proving his worth.

Their 7-3 demolition of rivals Real Madrid, which saw Diego Costa score four before being shown a red card, sent a message to all of Europe that Atletico mean business this year.

Juventus have had a much quieter pre-season, with their match against Atletico being their fourth and final fixture. A halfway line wonder goal from Tottenham striker Harry Kane defeated Juventus 3-2 before they returned to winning ways against Italian rivals Inter via penalties.

Here's how the two sides have performed in their last five fixtures.

Predictions

Expect the game to be dominated by two solid defensive units, although as this is both sides' last chance to experiment before their new seasons the game could be a lot more open than any future competitive meetings.

Both sides possess high quality attackers who can produce moments of brilliance to breakdown their opponents. As the sides make substitutions to give the squad gametime, gaps may appear. 

Prediction: Atletico Madrid 1-2 Juventus
