We have to go all out and try to win this game. A draw is pointless as it means Sevilla is in the box seat to top the group unless they slip up against Lyon at home. We need to go out there guns blazing and would like to see Cuadrado start with Higuain and Mandzukic. My guess is though that he will opt to have Cuadrado on the bench and play a 352 with Alves and Sandro.

If we can beat Sevilla, our season would be totally on track with a 7 point lead in Serie A and only requiring a home win to Zagreb to top the UCL group.

I agree.. Playing both Alex sandro and Cuadrado is a must.. Play dani alves in defence for all I care.. But please play Cuadrado as a right winger..

A must win.. I don't want to depend on the last match

This season has been quite strange. I don't think we have played any one of our matches particularly well yet we keep racking up points. The silver lining is that I don't think we have seen anything close to what this team is capable of. Firstly, I don't think we have seen both Dybala and Higuain both at top form at the same time. Pjanic has shown signs of brilliance but not consistent. Marchisio just came back and Khedira is not playing to his best either.

A win against Sevilla would be great as we can get to the business end of the season in the UCL with hopefully a side playing much better football and with players like Pjaca and Dybala back and in full fitness.

For the team to be real contenders in the champions league, I feel we need another midfielder of top quality though.

Evra will start again and Sandro will be benched again. That's about only the correct guess I can make about this game at this point.

I think we'll win this one, draw achieves nothing for us, that one point is almost useless both for catching Seville and escaping Lyon, so we have to go there and win, if it looks like it's going to end in draw we might as well take higher risks than usual. Allegri himself said he's counting on winning Zagreb at home, so I expect a brave approach here not going for 0:0. Also the pressure for this game is smaller since for the first time this season no one is expecting a 100% Juve victory.

Khedira was amazing Saturday.. But then again it was against pescara..

Yep I don't think Pescara is an accurate test. Even Hernanes had acres of space as nobody pressed him.

Playing Cuadrado almost certainly guarantees a free kick for Pjanic too as he is good at milking fouls around the box.

If Higuain is not playing, Im afraid we might see this sooner rather than 433

---------------Marchisio
Cuadrado-Khedira-Sturaro-A.Sandro
-----------------Pjanic
------Mandzukic

Tbh, I think we have better chance to win this thing without Pipita(or Mandzu, almost irrelevant) playing 3 upfront with Sandro and Cuadrado.
