Juventus awaits line-up against Lazio: adjustments and an offensive dilemma

Juventus coach Max Allegri will make adjustments to his line-up for the Coppa Italia clash against Lazio.

The Bianconeri will be looking for revenge against the Bincocelesti following their last-minute league defeat at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday.

Tonight, the two clubs will meet in the national cup, adding the first leg of the semi-final to be played at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Allegri will return to his already proven 3-5-2 formation while making at least five adjustments to the starting lineup.

Mattia Perin is the designated goalkeeper of the Coppa Italia, so Wojciech Szczesny will be between the posts.

At the back, Federico Gatti will revive his partnership with Gleison Bremer and captain Danilo. As a result, Daniele Rugani will return to the bench.

In midfield, Weston McKennie returns to the lineup after coming off the bench last time out. He will line up alongside Manuel Locatelli and Adrien Rabiot, replacing Fabio Miretti.

Andrea Cambiaso will play at right-back, while Filip Kostic will play on the other flank after recovering from the flu.

In attack, Dusan Vlahovic will lead the team’s pace after his recovery from suspension.

However, the identity of his replacement is still unclear, with Federico Chiesa and Kenan Yildiz vying for a spot.

Juventus XI (3-5-2): Perin; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Vlahovic, Yildiz (Chiesa)
