This evening, Juventus and Milan will clash heads at the Allianz Stadium as the hosts look to maintain their slim hopes of reaching the Champions League alive.
So how will Max Allegri line up his men in the club’s final home fixture of the campaign?
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Juventus boss will maintain his 3-5-2 formation, with Angel Di Maria supporting Arkadiusz Milik upfront.
Wojciech Szczesny will start behind a back-three that features Federico Gatti, Gleison Bremer and Danilo, while Juan Cuadrado and Filip Kostic operate as wingbacks.
In the middle of the park, the pink newspaper expects Fabio Miretti to join automatic starters Manuel Locatelli and Adrien Rabiot.
However, Sky Sport envisions a more attacking tactical system, one that sees Federico Chiesa joining Di Maria and Moise Kean in attacking trident.
In this case, Allegri would drop Miretti, transforming the formation from 3-5-2 to 3-4-3.
As for Dusan Vlahovic, his availability remains uncertain as the manager announced in yesterday’s press conference, leaving Kean and Milik to duel for a starting berth.
La Gazzetta dello Sport (3-5-2): Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Cuadrado, Miretti, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Di Maria, Milik
Sky Sport (3-4-3): Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Cuadrado, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Di Maria, Kean, Chiesa
It’s a n o brainer – he has to start with Chiesa ahead of Miretti who offers absolutely nothing to this team. Miretti needs to go out on loan and build his bones. But because he has the same agent as Allegri, he gets selected more than he should.
Moise Kean Milik Chiesa should start…DiMaria is busy with his calculator…and has passed his period.. wasting up chances during important clash is how he is…he did well only against Verona Nantes…he did not even perform against Monza
I only thought Iachini could be stupid enough to play Chiesa as wingback at Fioretina. But no, Max off course does the same. And now, Miretti or Chiesa to start, this is what it has come down to. Chiesa is only a super sub in Allegri`s system as he don`t fit into his low block 3-5-1-1. Only brings him on when he is in the shit and needs goals.
