Max Allegri is expected to face selection decisions in defence and midfield ahead of the Champions League trip to Malmo.

Max Allegri is expected to face selection decisions in defence and midfield ahead of the Champions League trip to Malmo.

The Bianconeri travel out to Sweden this midweek aware that a win can give them an advantage in Group A, with Atletico Madrid and Olympiacos facing each other in Spain.

For the test, Tuttosport suggest that Allegri will have to wait up to 24 hours to learn if Patrice Evra and Kwadwo Asamoah are available for first-team contention.

If they are not, then it is assumed that the Coach will run again with Simone Padoin at left-back, to complete the same back-line as at the weekend in Rome.

From that win over Lazio, it is also speculated that Allegri faces a dilemma in choosing whether or not to reinstate Arturo Vidal into the first-team, at the expense of Roberto Pereyra.

Attack, however, is most likely to see Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente maintain their positions.

Probable Juventus XI to face Malmo: Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Chiellini; Padoin; Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio; Pogba; Tevez, Llorente
