Juventus and Standard Liege will draw the curtains on the year on Friday (December 30) when they face off in a friendly at the Allianz Stadium.
The rejuvenated Bianconeri head into the weekend on a run of five wins across competitions and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.
Juventus maintained their fine run of form as they secured a 1-0 victory over Croatian outfit HNK Rijeka on Thursday.
They have now won five games across competitions, including their last three in Serie A before the 2022 FIFA World Cup break. Juventus will look to wrap up their friendlies in style as they prepare for their league clash against Cremonese on January 4.
Meanwhile, Standard returned to action in the Belgian Jupiler League on Friday, where they held on for a goalless draw against KAA Gent.
Before that, Ronny Deila’s men were on a four-game losing streak, including a 4-0 loss at Royal Antwerp in the Round of 16 of the Belgian Cup. Standard are sixth in the Belgian Jupiler League after picking up 29 points from 18 games.
