Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri set to continue with Paulo Dybala in the middle with Cristiano Ronaldo and Douglas Costa out wide against Bologna.

The Bianconeri are yet to score since the resumption and have played out goalless draws against Milan and Napoli, eventually losing the Coppa Italia Final on penalties.

But Sarri insists on continuing with the 4-3-3 formation in the absence of Gonzalo Higuain and revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo prefer to start at left in the trident.

Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri set to continue with Paulo Dybala in the middle with Cristiano Ronaldo and Douglas Costa out wide against Bologna.

The Bianconeri are yet to score since the resumption and have played out goalless draws against Milan and Napoli, eventually losing the Coppa Italia Final on penalties.

But Sarri insists on continuing with the 4-3-3 formation in the absence of Gonzalo Higuain and revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo prefer to start at left in the trident.

Dybala should therefore continue in the middle, with Brazilian Douglas Costa at right. Aaron Ramsey is expected to take place in the midfield three, with Rodrigo Bentancur taking Miralem Pjanics place in the middle, next to Blaise Matuidi and the Welshman.

Mattia De Sciglio looks set to replace Alex Sandro at left-back, with Matthijs de Ligt and Leo Bonucci in the middle and Juan Cuadrado will most likely continue at right-back.

Wojciech Szczesny is back in goal, after having vacated his starting position to Gianluigi Buffon for the Coppa Italia.

Sinisa Mihajlovic has claimed he will be gunning for the win against the Old Lady and seems set to give Musa Barrow the responsibility to lead the line.

Riccardo Orsolini will be in the supporting trident, with Gary Medel controlling the midfield two.

Bologna (probable): Skorupski; Tomiyasu, Danilo, Denswil, Dijks; Medel, Dominguez; Orsolini, Soriano, Sansone; Barrow

Juventus (probable): Szczesny; Cuadrado, De Ligt, Bonucci, De Sciglio; Ramsey, Bentancur, Matuidi; Douglas Costa, Dybala, Cristiano Ronaldo

Referee: Rocchi
