I'd play Pereyra over pirlo on current form. lichsteiner has been so bad lately. caceres can cross the ball.
Probable Borussia Dortmund lineup: Weidenfeller; Piszczek, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer; Gundogan, Sahin; Kampl, Mkhitaryan, Reus; Aubameyang
Probable Juventus lineup: Buffon; caceres , Bonucci, Chiellini, Evra; Pogba, Pirlo, Marchisio; Vidal; Tevez, Morata.

Vidal out of position is not strong.

Me too, I can't stand this formation and it doesn't make sense with Pirlo in it because he drops back between and Bonucci. We tend to see Pogba drift to the flank and get stuck there, Vidal lost behind the strikers offering almost nothing forward and mostly Lichtsteiner and Evra who strictly defend because of Pogba and Marchisio/Vidal drifting wide.

That's what I'd do as well.
It's like you forgot how we struggled under pressure with the 352. It was even worse and it was actually easier to shut us down with only 2 CFs upfront. It happened in Europe pretty much all the time.
Overall I'm very surprised there are so many people so confident about the result. Despite Dortmund's ups and downs I still think it's a very close tie with Dortmund being the slight favorites (55% - 45%). Yeah they suck this season but we were far from convincing in Europe so far. My biggest worry is actually the attack - we score very little and tend to concede in pretty much every game due to bad organization or individual errors. If Tevez and Pogba don't rise their game we're fucked I think. We have to put at least 2 goals and win in Turin because in Dortmund we'll face a very difficult game which we're very unlikely to win.

Absolutely this.
The lack of width - which goes on for 4 years now - really hurts this team chances in Europe.
But a catenaccio would be suicide also. Gotta press high up and try to score from a stolen ball - counter. With Morata this can actually happen.
Give them the ball and press them up. That's exactly what they will try to do.
If we hold the ball too much chances are we will get steamrolled. Pilro is the biggest liability righ now.
