Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti enters his second season with a restructured squad following an active transfer period that saw three of four forward positions replaced. The team remains undefeated across three matches with seven points, though finishing in the final third remains a recurring tactical challenge. New arrivals include forwards Kolo Muani, Jeff Ekhator, and Nick Woltemade, while the defensive unit added Jhon Lucumi and Zeki Celik.
