Competition - Italian Serie A
Juventus take on AC Milan on this Sunday in one of the most anticipated
matches in Serie A. This is a rare match in which Juventus do not start
as the automatic favourites. They are sitting at the top of the league
with an 11-point lead over second placed Napoli. While the outcome of
the match is unlikely to cause any change in the equations for the Serie
A crown, Juventus need a win badly to restore their pride.
Juventus showed no signs of disappointment of going out of the Champions
League when they beat Lazio 2-0 on Monday Night. Arturo Vidal stole the
show for Juventus as he scored twice in the opening 30 minutes to seal
Juve’s fifth straight Serie A win. Anyway, they crashed out of the UEFA
Champions League quarterfinals, after losing fair and square against
Bayern Munich.
Conte seems to have found some new balance with the 3-5-1-1 lineup and will keep it against Milan so Marchisio will be the link between Vucinic and the rest of the team, but also Pogba could play in the same role. Caceres is in competition with Peluso to play in the defensive trio.
