Serie A Preview: Brescia-Juventus
BACKGROUND
A lot of curiosity surrounds Capello’s new Juve, following a transfer market in which the bianconeri acquired important players such as Emerson, Ibrahimovic and Cananvaro at the expense of important young players Chiellini, Maresca and Miccoli.
Following a disappointing season, the Old Lady will surely want to start the new campaign with a good win, even though their opponents are no pushovers.
In the past seasons, Juventus have in fact achieved some hard fought draws and defeats at the hands of the Rondinelle and Brescia can be considered a bogey team for the bianconeri.
This will be the first season in 5 years that Roberto Baggio will not be playing for Brescia which will be a huge loss for Serie A and football in general.
For Juventus, Cannavaro is expected to make his official debut, while Ibrahimovic will have to start from the bench.
TEAM NEWS
Brescia – No injury not suspension problems for De Biasi who can count on a full squad strength.
Juventus – Central defenders Montero and Ferrara are out due to injury, thus favouring Cannavaro’s debut with the bianconeri’s shirt.
PROBABLE FORMATIONS
Brescia (3-4-2-1)
Castellazzi; Adani, Di Biagio, Mareco; Mannini, Almeyda, Milanetto, Domizzi; Bachini; Sculli, Caracciolo
Juventus (4-4-2)
Buffon; Zebina, Thuram, Cannavaro, Zambrotta; Olivera, Blasi, Emerson, Nedved; Del Piero, Trezeguet
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Sculli (Brescia) – The young international under-21 forward will want to prove the Juventus management wrong when they let him go, thus not giving him a chance with the bianconeri.
Del Piero (Juventus) – The Juve skipper seems to have finally picked up his pace as he produced a quality performance last Wednesday with his national side. Much is expected from him this season

Amzingly BOTH Milan AND Inter failed to win their respective matches and thus giving Juve a perfect chance to start the season well with a 2 point lead over both Milan sides.
But it won't be easy, winning in Stadio Rigamonti never was so we will need all of our strengths to overcome them. I'm confident with Olivera, Emerson, and Alex as they seem to be in excellent form.
We should forget about the Ajax match right now and field our strongest team to win this match. Ancelotti rested some players like Nesta, Gattuso and Pirlo and have probably rued that decision. We have to learn lessons from other teams.
Forza Juve. Let's win this match and stay in command of Serie A !!

zlatan wont make a difference in todays match.. da attack is already good... i would like to see him play with juve as i never did .. but if trezeguet isnt injured he shuld strtand same goes for delpiero he cant be benched in da first game of da league .. itsa unethical ...
zlatan is too new o da team i think cappello is right if he doesnt let him strt but by the second half when we are leading with a wide margin hen zlatan can come in with his sassy attitude and play some dirty soccer

It seems Lucarelli has come back to become a striker again. (Couple of years ago with Torino, one journalist dubbed him as "He used to be a striker".
It is an opending day of the week thus players should be fresh. We should definetely field the strongest team available and try to take all three points.
However, what I want to especially is back line perfoming solidly and not giving away a goal to start the season. It would also be good occasion to see how Lillian and Fabio partnership starts this year.
As Brescia isnt the easy place to visit and get all three points, and they also have a team with savvy veterans, my guess is that we are in for a tough game and hopefully we can take all three points.
My prediction is that we will win 2-1.
