Ronaldo set for Juve debut at Chievo

Cristiano Ronaldo will likely make his Juventus debut at Chievo Verona as the Bianconeri kick off their attempt to win a record-extending eighth league title at the Stadio Bentegodi.

The 2018-19 Serie A fixtures were announced on Thursday. Juventus signed Ronaldo from Real Madrid earlier this month for 112 million euros ($131.5 million).

The season starts on August 18 and the first weekend also sees Napoli visit Lazio. Juve's first home match is against Lazio the following weekend.

AC Milan host Genoa and Inter Milan visit Sassuolo in the opening weekend, while Roma travel to Torino.

Napoli, who finished second in an exciting title race last season, have a new coach in Carlo Ancelotti.

They have a tough start to the season. After Lazio, Napoli play AC Milan, Sampdoria, Fiorentina, Torino, Parma and Juventus.

The weekend Napoli visit Juventus also sees Roma host Lazio in the capital derby.

The first Milan derby will be in the weekend of October 21, in week 9, while the first Derby d'Italia between Juventus and Inter is in week 15 in Turin.

Juventus then immediately play another derby match, at city rivals Torino.

Juventus have a tough finish to the season, with the reverse fixtures against Inter and Torino as well as matches against Fiorentina, Roma and Atalanta in their final six games. Massimiliano Allegri's side ends the season away at Sampdoria.

Napoli visit Bologna on the final day, on May 26, the weekend after hosting Inter.

For the first time, all 10 teams will play on December 26.
