With both teams aiming to improve on a tough 2022-23 campaign, Italian giants Juventus and AC Milan step up their preparations for the new season on Thursday, when they clash in California.

While Juve saw Saturday's game against Barcelona cancelled due to a viral bug laying low some of Barca's squad, Milan returned to action against Real Madrid at the Rose Bowl.

Two Calcio heavyweights are slightly undercooked ahead of their summertime contest in California, and with new signings still settling in, the outcome is tough to call. As Milan have recruited more impressively and have improved the balance of their squad, they can beat Juventus once again, after doing the double over them in the league last term.

两支球队都希望在艰难的2022-23赛季中取得进步，意大利豪门尤文图斯和AC米兰在周四加紧了新赛季的准备工作，届时他们将在加州交锋。

虽然尤文周六对阵巴萨的比赛因病毒感染而取消，但米兰在玫瑰碗球场与皇马的比赛中复出。

在加州的夏季比赛之前，两名重量级球员的表现略显不足，而新签约的球员仍在适应，结果很难预测。随着米兰招募了更多令人印象深刻的球员，并改善了球队的平衡，他们可以在上赛季联赛中双冠王之后再次击败尤文图斯。
