Here is the latest Juventus team news ahead of their key Champions League match against Benfica.
It’s a must-win for the Bianconeri who must beat Benfica and PSG and hope any of the two don’t beat Maccabi Haifa in their remaining fixture in the Champions League Group H.
The Bianconeri travelled to Portugal without the injured Gleison Bremer, Mattia De Sciglio, Leandro Paredes, Paul Pogba, Federico Chiesa and Angel Di Maria. Massimiliano Allegri is expected to confirm a 3-5-2 system.
The Serie A giants won two Serie A games in a row for the first time this season. Arek Milik should start with Dusan Vlahovic up front after resting against Empoli on Friday night. The Poland international was introduced in the final minutes of the second half.
The only doubt is in defence with Alex Sandro favourite over Daniele Rugani.
During his pre-match press conference, Allegri said that Juventus must keep a high intensity to beat the Portuguese side and avoid the errors made in the reverse fixture won 2-1 by Benfica in Turin last month.
Probable Juventus XI (3-5-2): Szczesny; Danilo, Bonucci, Alex Sandro; Cuadrado, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Milik, Vlahovic.
