SERIE A: Bologna - Juventus (8 Viewers)
- Thread starter Gandalf
- Start date
There was some light snowfall in today's training session in Sisport. Anyway, Lippi might have dropped some hints as to whom will play on Sunday against Bologna.
Di Vaio - ALWAYS READY !!
Buffon, Ferrara, Iuliano, Montero, Zambrotta, Conte, Maresca, di Vaio and Miccoli played in one team of a warm-up match. While Chimenti, Thuram, Legrottaglie, Pessotto, Camoranesi, Appiah, Tacchinardi, Nedved and Del Piero played in the other. Some other Primavera players filled the remaining places in the teams. Trezeguet, Tudor and Birindelli were rested today and didn't take part in training.
Gazzetta reports that Miccoli and Di Vaio are favourites to start the match against Bologna and here is the most probable lineup:
(4-3-1-2)
Buffon; Thuram, Legrottaglie, Iuliano, Zambrotta; Conte, Appiah, Maresca; Nedved; Di Vaio, Miccoli.
Bench: Chimenti, Ferrara, Montero, Pessotto, Camoranesi, Del Piero, Trezeguet.
Lippi - FINISH THEM !!
AS for our opponents, Nakata and Nervo seem to be recovering from their respective knocks and should start on Sunday. Signori is also expected to start after playing a half agaisnt Modena last week. However Rossini and Zanchi are still injured, whereas Pecchia and Colucci will be missing through suspension.
Here is the predicted lineup:
(4-4-1-1)
Pagluica; Zaccardo, Natali, Gamberini, Moretti; Nervo, Nakata, Loviso, Locatelli; Signori; Tare.
We should outplay their midfield which is their strongest point but we should be careful of Nakata and Locatelli, they are very dangerous going forward. On his day Signori could also prove lethal and score a goal or two.
PS - What's with the similar avatars titled 'Avatars Need Love' ?

If Juve dont get anything from this match i think it will be extremly difficult for us to get back into the title race unless milan an roma drop points too.
Because of the depor game coming up juve should try to make this as easy as possible and try not to make too many mistakes.
Then lippi can rest some key players in the second half.

Miccoli and Di Vaio will probably start since Del Piero played for 60+ minutes midweek against the Czechs.
Like everyone else im hoping for Milan and Roma (more importantly Milan) to drop at least a couple of points.
Like Steve11 said, this game must be win without too much fuss. We can't afford injuries, late drama and stuff like that which can drain a team both physically and mentally especially before the big clash vs Depor.
This will be Lippi's 400th Serie A game as coach.
Let's win for Sir John Charles.
Forza Juve.
