Juventus - Milan

Guess it's time to talk about tomorrow's huge game!
Conte said it will be "the most important match of the season", although I highly doubt we will go out with a full strength squad.
It will be a close match, my guess is a 1-1 draw.

Probable lineups by goal.com

I think Borriello won't play though and I've got a feeling that Esti is getting a place somewhere.

Ibra will get rested i think.maybe TS too

So, Goal.com thinks that Juve will start two fullbacks and three central defenders as Juve's probable line up? Sometimes you just have to love Goal.com's sense of humor. If Conte wants a goalless draw, I guess that could be the formation.

Personally I can't give a simple reason to play 3-5-2 which let us down last time too in Serie A.
I'm quite sure TS won't be rested, Ibra maybe.

I would much rather rest TS and Ibra for the league instead of playing them in the Coppa

Milan can't beat us at home...I don't think any team in serie a can beat us at home this season :shisha:

All reports point to 3-5- 2 it was even trained few days

It might be called a "3-5-2," but, if it includes PDC and Licht as the wings, then I wouldn't consider it a real 3-5-2 where you would normally expect attacking football. I'm guessing that it's more of a formation that is able to flex between defensive as a 5-3-2 and possession type football in a 3-5-2.

I will give PDC and Licht a lot of credit for covering a lot of the pitch on Saturday against Fiorentina. If you look at the "heat map" on ESPN.com's coverage of the match, PDC and Licht were almost equally in the middle, attacking, and defensive ends of the field.

in 45 mins it begins

k

I'm not sure how I feel about Del P as the central striker. That's not really his best role.

epsn showed vucinic as the striker? wtf?

Vuci can play striker as well.

Ibra and TS fielded for Milan. We got a game on our hands.

what a game so far and brilliance from vucinic
