Roma will be without suspended Edin Dzeko when they are searching for their first win at the Allianz Stadium against Juventus in the Coppa Italia.
Maurizio Sarri revealed that Gonzalo Higuain looked lively at the training ground this week and will most likely start the Argentine up front against the Giallorossi tonight.
He conceded that he would evaluate Cristiano Ronaldo, but the Portuguese should play if fit, as Douglas Costa completes the trio in Sarri’s 4-3-3.
Roma will be without suspended Edin Dzeko when they are searching for their first win at the Allianz Stadium against Juventus in the Coppa Italia.
Maurizio Sarri revealed that Gonzalo Higuain looked lively at the training ground this week and will most likely start the Argentine up front against the Giallorossi tonight.
He conceded that he would evaluate Cristiano Ronaldo, but the Portuguese should play if fit, as Douglas Costa completes the trio in Sarri’s 4-3-3.
If not, he has both Federico Bernardeschi and Paulo Dybala at his service. Daniele Rugani might be partnerinc Leonardo Bonucci ahead of Gianluigi Buffon in goal.
Roma are back in shape after their recent loss to the Old Lady and now they are seeking their revenge and to change the poor trend at the Allianz.
Dzeko will be missing and Nikola Kalinic should get the nod for the away side. He will be the lone striker in Paulo Fonseca’s preferred 4-2-3-1.
He could play ahead of a trio that might consist of Cengiz Under, Justin Kluivert and Lorenzo Pellegrini.
Bryan Cristante and Amadou Diawara should hold the midfield together and sit right above Gianluca Mancini and Chris Smalling.
Juventus (probable): Buffon; Cuadrado, Rugani, Bonucci, Danilo; Bentancur, Pjanic, Matuidi; Douglas Costa, Higuain, Cristiano Ronaldo
Roma (probable): Pau Lopez; Florenzi, Mancini, Smalling, Kolarov; Cristante, Diawara; Under, Pellegrini, Kluivert; Kalinic
