Frosinone secured their return to Serie A after an excellent Serie B campaign, finishing runners-up and missing out on the title by just one point.
Although they narrowly missed out on silverware, promotion was ultimately the main objective and gives the club another opportunity to establish themselves in Italy's top division.
Frosinone have a worrying opening-day record to overcome after their recent performance in their last three games.
They have not secured a win in their last three friendly games after winning their first two preseason matches.
However, they will be boosted by their recent Coppa Italia victory, having handed Juve Stabia a 4-1 defeat.
Meanwhile, Juventus arrive with plenty to prove after a disappointing sixth-place finish last season.
The result meant the Bianconeri missed out on Champions League qualification by just two points.
However, Juventus have the opportunity to begin the new season strongly against newly promoted opposition.
They have had a decent preseason outing, having secured four wins, one loss and one draw in their last six games.
Frosinone will look to use their home advantage, but Juventus will be confident following their head-to-head record against the hosts.
