Higuain benched for Olympiakos?
By Football Italia staff


Despite reports yesterday that Juventus could switch to a 3-4-3, it now looks likely to be 4-2-3-1 with Gonzalo Higuain benched.

The club’s record signing didn’t start in the Derby della Mole with Torino on Saturday night, but it was expected he’d be restored to the starting XI for tonight’s Champions League clash.

Given the dearth of right-backs available to Coach Massimiliano Allegri, it was thought the Bianconeri could play a 3-4-3, with Mario Mandzukic and Paulo Dybala flanking Higuain.

However, Sky is now reporting that Stefano Sturaro will play at right-back in the familiar 4-2-3-1, with Mandzukic preferred to Pipita up-front.

That would see Juan Cuadrado and Douglas Costa on the wings, with Paulo Dybala playing in the trequartista role.

Probable Juventus line-up: Buffon; Sturaro, Barzagli, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; Pjanic, Matuidi; Cuadrado, Dybala, Douglas Costa; Mandzukic
I could seriously see Higuain being benched because of Allegri's comments in the pre match press conference. He said that he still hadn't decided which 4 offensive players would start

Quote me on this:
- Juventus will play an excellent game and win with at least a two goal margin.
- Sturaro will play a superb game and make that RB spot his own for the rest of the season.
- Our front six will be fluid, lethal and give Juventuz CL glory hope.
- Dybala will officially get into the fight for CL top scorer this year.

    Would love to see Stururu making that RB spot his own and play there for 10 years while people would all the time moan how we need a WC RB...but somehow I don't see it happening.
