Gianni VerschuerenJul 25, 2016

Juventus will face Tottenham Hotspur in their second match of this year's International Champions Cup in Melbourne, Australia, the annual pre-season tournament that has become a fixture on the calendars of top clubs.

The Bianconeri have travelled without a host of top players and fielded several members of their Primavera youth squad in the 1-1 draw against Melbourne Victory. The hosts won the penalty shootout, handing them an extra point in the standings.

Tottenham will play their first ICC match on Tuesday, before a clash with La Liga giants Atletico Madrid on Friday.

Both Juventus and Spurs have mainly occupied themselves with promotional events and gym workouts in Australia, and Tuesday's friendly should not be taken too seriously as an eye on the upcoming season.

With key players missing for both teams, fans will likely see a host of youngsters and fringe players try to earn their spot in next year's squad, while the biggest stars do their best not to get hurt.

These pre-season tours serve mainly as a promotional events, and Spurs have done their best to keep things lighthearted, as shared by their Twitter account:

For Juventus, the promotional aspect of the tour is arguably even bigger. The Bianconeri have a soccer school in Melbourne as part of their massive global youth programme, and they've been working hard on their brand in Australia.

Even club legend David Trezeguet travelled with the team to make an appearance:

On the pitch, all eyes will be on the duo of Paulo Dybala and Miralem Pjanic, two of the club's biggest stars who are looking to build some chemistry. The latter moved to Turin during the summer and already seems to be adapting to his new surroundings, combining well with the former for an outrageous goal in the team's first friendly against San Mauro.

New signing Medhi Benatia could make his debut, and Roberto Pereyra will also be available.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Spurs fans will be keeping an eye on summer addition Vincent Janssen, who joined the club from AZ Alkmaar after a sensational campaign in the Eredivisie last year.

Victor Wanyama could also feature, and team-mate Kevin Wimmer is excited to see them both in action, as he told the club's official website:

"

Of course, I knew about them before. Victor has shown in the Premier League already that he’s a very good player, a very strong midfielder and Vincent also – we played against him with the Austrian national team in June and in that game I saw him for the first time.

He did very well then, he scored and I’m very happy that we have these two great players now. I think they will help us a lot.

"

Janssen found the target in the 3-1 win over Rotherham United and, with Harry Kane still recovering from his UEFA Euro 2016 campaign for England, the Dutchman will have another chance to show what he can do on Tuesday.

The Juventus defence should give him quite a challenge, as star youngster Daniele Rugani is expected to start, and Benatia could join him. The experienced Luca Marrone started their last match, while highly rated full-backs Carlos Blanco and Pol Lirola both made an impression.

On the other side of the pitch, Dybala and Pjanic will come up against a young and relatively inexperienced Spurs defence, which should test the Premier League club's depth, as Belgium internationals Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld won't feature.
