Excited for the game and hopeful for a good performance and maybe a win if things go our way.
In defense we need to be very narrow and Suso/Borini should be the ones tracking their fullbacks.
Hoping that Montella goes for Musacchio this time and not feel that the threat of Mandzukic means we go for Zapata. That didn't work the last time with his cousin, and Real Madrid were okay with little Carvajal marking him. We should be ok with Musacchio.
When we have the ball Calabria runs up the right to spread the field, with Borini doing the same on the left.
A back three tracks a player each, but we need Biglia and especially Kessie to stay back almost all the time to make sure he intercepts any second balls that otherwise might fall to Higuain or Dybala. I'm worried about Cuadrado's pace behind Rodriguez also. Kessie might be our only free player in the middle so maybe a few runs into space here and there might work...
Suso will have a lot of space and time on the ball since they play with a double pivot and i'm expecting him to keep up his amazing form, but I am worried if we start just pumping crosses into the box. We need to keep the ball on the ground and play it short.
If we start with this formation, will this be the first time this season we kept the same 11? Juve rested a lot of their starters yesterday. Might be a big factor in the game.
