Flying in the league of late, both Juventus' Primavera and U17 sides turn their attentions to cup action this weekend, the former heading south to Tuscany for the beginning of the Viareggio Cup next week, the latter already in the midst of the "Beppe Viola" tournament.
Starting with Fabio Grosso's charges, the Coppa Italia finalists will be in the hunt for silverware in the coming week as they join 31 other academy sides at the prestigious youth competition in Viareggio.
Kicking off their campaign on Monday 14 March, Juve's young guns will contest three group-stage fixtures in the space of six days - the week's full schedule can be found below - in the hope of reaching the event's quarter-finals on Wednesday 23 March.
As for those already in action, Felice Tufano's U17s began their defence of the "Beppe Viola" trophy in convincing fashion in Trento this afternoon, defeating Milan 3-2 in their opening fixture thanks to strikes from Simone Mancini, Federico Mastropieno and Massimo N'Cede Goh.
Tufano's boys will take to the field once more tomorrow to face Verona before meeting an amateur select XI on Saturday afternoon.
Last but not least, the club's U15 outfit will be the only J-Academy side on league duty this weekend, Cuneo the visitors to Vinovo on Sunday (14.30 CET kick-off).
