Soccercorner.org - Juventus will be back competing in the Champions League in midweek. For securing the first ticket to the Champions League from Group D, the Old Lady will host Manchester City at Juventus Stadium on Thursday (26/11) early morning.
Juventus and Manchester City are the top standings in Group D, where Manchester City was ranked one and Juventus is ranked second. Third place, Sevilla adrift far enough from both of them after they were only able to collect three points. Mathematically it is difficult for Sevilla to be able to overtake them, but the ball is round, everything can happen in football. For that victory in this match will ensure they win a ticket to the knockout phase.
The host himself is in the midst of self-confidence. Understandably they had just won a heat Grande Partita match against AC Milan at the weekend. This important victory would lift morale Juventus, moreover they will be playing in front of their own supporters.
In this game Juve still not strengthened a number of important pillars they like Roberto Pereyra, Kwadwo Asamoah, Sami Khedira who is still struggling with injury. Hernanes and Evra is also doubtful for the game later recall them to be pulled out in the game contra AC Milan as it gets injured.
The absence Hernanes makes Massimiliano Allegri can not use a 4-3-1-2 formation he used counter AC Milan, so he is likely to re-use a 4-3-3 formation with Paolo Dybala, Mario Mandzukic and Alvaro Morata as a trident attack Bianconeri ,
Manchester City itself also suffered injury problems that did not agree. Noted Vincent Kompany, Wilfried Bony, Samir Nasri and David Silva can not go down against Juventus in midweek later.
Kompany's absence much less pronounced impact on defense as they cleared Liverpool at the weekend. Poor duo Martin Demichelis and Eliaquim Mangala to be one cause of the embarrassing defeat. But in the game later Pellegrini was able to breathe because Nicholas Otamendi stored at the weekend has been fit to face Juventus.
For their own line of attack will lower Pellegrini Sergio Aguero who has recovered from injury. He will be supported by a trio Raheem Sterling - Kevin De Bruyne - Jesus Navas behind.
Line Up Prediction of Both Team:
Juventus (4-3-3) : Buffon; Sandro, Chiellini, Bonucci, Lichsteiner; Pogba, Marchisio, Sturaro; Dybala, Mandzukic, Morata
Manchester City (4-2-3-1) : Hart, Kolarov, Otamendi, Demichelis, Sagna; Fernandinho, Toure; Sterling, De Bruyne, Navas; Aguero
