PERTH — Palermo vs Juventus is set for Tuesday in Perth, where the Sicilian side will finish its pre-season and Juventus will play one more warm-up before the real campaign begins. The match also comes with a lineup switch for Juve, after Luciano Spalletti confirmed Mattia Perin will start against Palermo.
The move follows a recent error by Michele Di Gregorio, who has been dropped for this game. That decision gives the Juventus goalkeeper situation an immediate edge, with the club looking to steady itself after a 2-1 loss to Inter Milan in its last outing.
Palermo vs Juventus and the Spalletti selection call
Spalletti said the transfer market outlook has not changed, adding: “Transfer market, the same ideas we had before the friendlies. Perin will play against Palermo”.
It is a direct message, and a clear one. Juventus is still keeping its options open off the pitch, but the focus on the field has shifted to the next test in pre-season and to the response after the loss against Inter.
BBC’s live team listed Perin among the starters, with Di Gregorio on the bench. Juventus’ lineup also included Kolo Muani, Yildiz, Francisco Conceição, Douglas Luiz, McKennie, Cabal, Gatti, Çelik and Perin in goal. Palermo’s side featured Pohjanpalo, Johnsen, Segre, Ranocchia, Ceccaroni, Hernani, Gyasi, Cassandro, Magnani, Augello and Joronen.
Why the Perth meeting matters
For Palermo, the trip is the final fixture of a pre-season that has produced just one defeat in six outings. The Serie B club is also trying to end a run of 10 straight defeats to Juventus, which adds some edge to a game that otherwise sits in the friendly calendar.
Filippo Inzaghi has his own storyline. The Palermo manager scored 89 goals in 165 games across all competitions for Juventus as a player, and now returns in the opposite camp as he tries to push Palermo back toward the top flight after just missing out on promotion last term.
Juventus, meanwhile, had been unbeaten in pre-season before losing to Inter in Perth on Saturday. The result snapped four consecutive clean sheets, and Spalletti will be watching closely to see whether the team can recover the defensive rhythm it had earlier in the summer.
What viewers are being asked to watch
The streaming angle is straightforward: the match is being promoted with live coverage on FOX Deportes through Fubo, which says it carries live television without cable on phone, TV or tablet. That makes Palermo vs Juventus a practical test for fans tracking the game from the US and other listed regions.
For Juventus, the biggest immediate storyline is not only the opponent. It is whether Perin settles the goalkeeping issue after Di Gregorio’s mistake and whether Spalletti’s side can leave Perth with a cleaner defensive showing than the one it produced against Inter.
Palermo, for its part, gets one last shot to measure itself against one of Italy’s biggest names before the season starts for real. The venue is far from home. The stakes are not.
