The temperature in Donetsk today will be around -1 Celcius. This is our biggest enemy and I can't even express how afraid I am of the game in such conditions. I really hope our players will give 150% all game long, otherwise I can see this being our worst nightmare.
PS just our luck the game is at 20:45 CET, normally it would be played earlier (warmer time) but since it's the last round all matches shall start simultaneously.
For the second consecutive matchday...all eyes are going to be on Juve!! I believe Conte will fire them up, and the players themselves know what tonight means...it means going on in Europe and making a bigger name for themselves! Tonight we prove that the old lady of Italian football is back!!
Hopefully Conte did another one of those amazing speeches like of last year ().
*Rather Pepe, but not sure what kind of form he is in. Perhaps Giaccherini is a decent option.
Problem is I dont see us threatening their goal much. This formation misses Marchisio to work at its best. We could go for the deathblow with Giovinco introduction in the second half.
Their advantage is, that they play at home, not more. It's getting pretty cold in Torino too, so the temperature will not have as much impact as many think. As long as it doesn't start to snow, we're fine.
TBH -1 is cold but its not like it doesn't get that cold in Turin anyway. I don't think the conditions will be as it was in Poznan two years ago in the Europa League b
