No team in Serie A history has ever won seven league titles in a row; something Juventus will be trying to do in 2017-2018. Juventus is the odds-on favorite to win the title this season but it may not be easy, as the team lost superstar Leonardo Bonucci and goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon is well past his prime. Can Gonzalo Higuain produce another big season? Juventus will need him to produce because their challengers from Rome and Milan look to be improved.
Juventus Serie A Odds
Odds To Win Serie A: -135
Juventus is favored to win Serie A again this season, but the odds at -135 are not overwhelming. Juventus was four points clear of Roma last season and five points clear of Napoli. Juventus will have to fight off those two teams again this season in addition to an improved Inter Milan squad.

What's New?
The team added Blaise Matuidi from PSG, Wojciech Szczesny from Roma, Mattia De Sciglio from AC Milan, Douglas Costa on loan from Bayern Munich, Manolo Portanova from Lazio, Federico Bernardeschi from Fiorentina and Mattia Caldara from Atalanta.
The addition of Szczesny is an interesting one, as the team is preparing him to take over for Buffon next season. Another player of interest is Douglas Costa who didn’t get regular playing time with Bayern. He might be able to see the field a lot more with Juventus.
What's Gone?
The team lost Leonardo Bonucci to AC Milan, Mario Lemina to Southampton, Neto to Valencia, Simone Zaza to Valencia, Dario Del Fabro to Cagliari, Anastasios Donis to Stuttgart, Filippo Romagna to Cagliari, Vykintas Slivka to Hibernian and Francesco Cassata to Sassuolo.
Juventus 2017-18 Predictions
There is a lot of pressure on manager Massimiliano Allegri this season. He is not only expected to lead the club to another Serie A title, but also lead them to Champions League success. He is expected to have a starting lineup of Buffon, de Sciglio, Barzagli, Bonucci, Alex Sandro, Pjanic, Khedira, Bernardeschi, Dybala, D. Costa and Higuain.
Last season was a good one for Juventus, as they won the league title and the Coppa Italia, but in some ways it was disappointing because they lost the Champions League Final. It is questionable as to whether Juventus is as good entering the 2017-2018 season. The loss of Bonucci cannot be overstated, as he was great on defense. It remains to be seen whether or not Medhi Benatia and Daniele Rugani can play well on the backline. The additions of Douglas Costa and Federico Bernardeschi might work out but each player has to prove they can fit in with Juventus.
The 2017-2018 season will be the final one for Buffon and he really wants to win a Champions League title. The team is definitely focused on Champions League glory which might mean they are less focused on Serie A. Juventus was untouchable at home last season, as they went 18-0 with 1 draw, outscoring opponents by a combined margin of 48-9. Repeating that success in 2017-2018 will be extremely difficult. The club was 11-5 on the road with 3 draws, outscoring opponents by a combined 29-18.
Juventus will be very good again in 207-2018 but they are no guarantee to win their 7th straight league title. The focus for this club is on Champions League success and it is debatable whether the team is as good as they were a year ago when they finished just four points ahead of Roma. The challengers in Serie A look to be improved, so Juventus may have a fight on their hands this season for first place.
Juventus is still a very good team and they may be able to win the Serie A title even with their focus on the Champions League, but it may come down to the final week of the season to see if they can win off their 7th straight title.
