Catania caused Inter some problems last week, and Inter were playing three at the back for it.
Catania tended to leave Gomez high up the pitch (on their left wing) when they were defending, which meant the Inter's RWB, Obi, was forced to play a responsible game and not get forward very much.
Inter ended up changing to a back four in the second half because they needed a second player on their right side to nullify the threat of Gomez and Marchese on that side.
Catania also caused Inter problems by doing a good job of making the pitch nice and big to stretch Inter and then have a midfield runner - Almiron, generally - burst forward into the spaces created by them stretching the game. That caused problems for Inter because their midfield did not track the runner properly.
So, Juve will have to decide how attacking their RWB will be if Catania choose to leave their LW high up the pitch and have to make sure that whoever is on the right on the midfield three is quick to move across when Marchese pushes up, to ensure Juve's RWB is not outnumbered on that flank.
Harder to say how to deal with the midfield runners because Pirlo can't be expected to track runs properly. Just means that Juve's CBs - since they will often only have the CF to play against - will need to be alert and ready to step forward to confront a runner from midfield.
