After receiving his marching orders in Empoli, Elseid Hysaj will be serving a one-match ban. Marco Baroni is also without the injured Patric, while Nuno Tavares and Manuel Lazzari have been making great strides in their recovery path. The latter is even pushing for a starting berth, but Adam Marusic remains the slight favourite to start at right-back, with Luca Pellegrini on the left.

Mario Gila should return to the starting lineup alongside Alessio Romagnoli at the back, thus dropping Samuel Gigot to the bench. Matteo Guendouzi and Nicolo Rovella will start in midfield as usual, while Gustav Isaksen and Mattia Zaccagni take the wings. Taty Castellanos should lead the line, but Boulaye Dia’s attacking-midfield berth is threatened by Fisayo Dele-Bashiru.

On this return to the Stadio Olimpico, Igor Tudor is without seven players, including the injured Andrea Cambiaso and Teun Koopmeiners, and the suspended Kenan Yildiz. On the other hand, Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Gatti have been called up, but they’re unlikely to start.

Therefore, Randal Kolo Muani should spearhead Juve’s charge, supported by Nico Gonzalez and the ultra-versatile Weston McKennie. In midfield, Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram should combine once more, while Alberto Costa and Timothy Weah are tipped to start as wingbacks. Nicolo Savona is the emergency addition at the back, alongside Pierre Kalulu and Renato Veiga.
