Italy’s Football Italia predicts the starting lineups for Juventus and Villarreal in the Champions League
In the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16 tie against Villarreal in Turin, Massimiliano Allegri will rely on Dusan Vlahovic and Alvaro Morata to carry the team forward.
Because of a 1-1 draw in Spain three weeks ago, the Serie A heavyweights will need to win tonight in order to advance to the quarter-finals.
Leonardo Bonucci, Alex Sandro, Denis Zakaria, Weston McKennie, Federico Chiesa, and Kai Jorge are all out injured for the upcoming match against Juventus. Paulo Dybala and Giorgio Chiellini are expected to return, although they are not expected to start.
Dusan Vlahovic came on as a substitute in the second half of Saturday’s 3-1 triumph over Sampdoria and will partner Alvaro Morata up attack for the rest of the season.
Juventus have been the greatest team in Italy since the beginning of the season, having gained 22 points from ten games. These Serie A champions are unbeaten in 15 games and have won each of their past six Champions League games played at the San Siro. They were defeated by Spanish clubs in three of their 23 home games in Europe’s premier club league.
Villarreal will go to Turin without the injured Ruben Pena, Paco Alcacer, and Alberto Moreno, who are all out for the season.
