Serie A August 24 Preview: Frosinone vs Juventus & Torino vs AC Milan | Predictions and Score Tips

Two of Italian football's biggest clubs begin their 2026/27 Serie A campaigns on August 24 for viewers in India, with Juventus travelling to face newly-promoted Frosinone and AC Milan visiting Torino.

Serie A's official schedule confirms both fixtures as part of Matchday 1, with Juventus and Milan starting the season away from home.

Frosinone vs Juventus

Juventus begin their new campaign against newly-promoted Frosinone at the Stadio Benito Stirpe.

The Bianconeri have considerably more quality across the squad, but the first match of a new season can often require patience, particularly against a promoted side playing in front of its home supporters.

Frosinone are likely to defend in numbers and try to make the game physical, forcing Juventus to find solutions against a compact defensive block.

For Juventus, the arrival of attacking reinforcements gives Luciano Spalletti more options in the final third. If they can control midfield and avoid frustration against a deep defence, the visitors should eventually create enough opportunities.

Juventus are the clear favourites, although a controlled rather than spectacular victory looks more realistic.

Prediction: Juventus to win
Score Prediction: Frosinone 0-2 Juventus

Torino vs AC Milan

AC Milan face arguably the tougher challenge of these two matches when they visit Torino.

The Rossoneri enter a new era under Rúben Amorim, and their opening fixture should provide an early indication of how quickly the Portuguese coach's ideas have taken shape.

Torino's physical approach and home advantage could make this a demanding opening night. Milan therefore cannot expect the same level of control Juventus may enjoy against Frosinone.

However, the Rossoneri possess greater individual quality in attack and have used pre-season to work on Amorim's new system.

Milan's recent history on opening weekend also provides a note of caution: Serie A points out that after winning four consecutive season openers, the Rossoneri have failed to win their opening league match in each of the last two campaigns.

That makes this the less certain of the two predictions, but Milan still have enough attacking talent to edge a close contest.

Prediction: AC Milan to win, with draw protection preferred
Score Prediction: Torino 1-2 AC Milan

Final Verdict

Juventus appear to have the more favourable opening fixture, despite playing away from home. Their quality advantage over newly-promoted Frosinone makes them the stronger selection.

Torino vs AC Milan looks more competitive, with the Rossoneri likely to face a physical and tactical battle before finding opportunities.

Final Picks: Juventus win | AC Milan win or draw
