Max Allegri expects ‘a completely different’ Salernitana today compared to the side that lost 6-1 in the Coppa Italia and discusses new attacking options for Juventus.
It kicks off at the Stadio Arechi at 17.00 GMT.
Curiously, these teams already met on Thursday evening in the Coppa Italia Round of 16 and that tie ended 6-1 for Juve in Turin.
Kenan Yildiz was among those on target with a wonder goal and he starts again today, as Federico Chiesa is out injured.
“We have Yildiz and Dusan Vlahovic starting, then Milik and Nonge on the bench, while Miretti can play as a support striker, so we have alternatives,” assured the coach to DAZN.
“Yildiz is doing well, is talented and growing, but it is only his third game. The important thing is that the whole team plays well.”
The Coppa Italia clash was in Turin, whereas Salernitana will be hoping to make the most of home advantage as well as a whole new level of motivation this time around.
“It is a completely different game to the one on Thursday, as Salernitana need points to secure safety, are on home turf and will certainly take a very different approach trying to allow us very little.”
Inter squeezed past Hellas Verona yesterday in controversial circumstances with a last-gasp Davide Frattesi goal and missed Thomas Henry penalty.
It means Juventus need the victory to close the gap at the top back down to two points, especially as they go head-to-head on February 4.
What a talent Kenan Yildiz is! 🙌
