Juventus will be looking to overturn a 2-1 deficit from the first leg when they travel to face high-flying Perguia for the third time in the span of a month.
The Umbrians are riding a wave of euphoria at the moment as they managed to follow up their unexpected success at the Delle Alpi last Wednesday with a 4-1 demolition of Inter Milan on the weekend. 24-year-old Fabrizio Miccoli – who as actually owned by Juventus – was the star of the show on both occasions as his blistering pace and mesmeric ball-skills have fast made him one of the most feared strikers in the league.
By masterminding the first-leg win in Turin, Perugia boss Serse Cosmi managed to exact some manner of revenge for Juve's controversial league victory at the Renato Curi just before the winter-break, but that will all have been for naught if his side contrive to get beaten by two goals on Wednesday.
His counterpart Marcello Lippi is confident that his side will find it within themselves to overturn the result, so much so that he still plans to rest many of his star players for the vital match.
When pressed on whether he would opt to use the same attacking trident of Marco Di Vaio, Marcelo Zalayeta and Marcelo Salas that failed to convince in the first leg, Lippi responded: "I could decide to do that again, but not how we used it in the first leg and probably not for the whole game." He was certain that he would start Igor Tudor and Alessio Tacchinardi in midfield, however.
