Given that we have 3 of our forwards that r on form, I think that we should go for an attacking formation. Well seeing that our main opponents are losing points at an early stage. I have faith that our defence will do a very good job,
------------Mutu---- Trez------------
Nedved- Emerson Vieira - Camo
--Zambro - Canna - Kovac - Balzaretti
-------------------Abbiati---------------

Too bad for Zala though. I almost forgot that Z + DP most probably wouldn't play

In reality this should be an easy win for Juve, however if you recall just a couple years ago we actually drew with Empoli away at the Stadio Castellani due to a Rocchi hattrick and lackluster defending on our behalf. We will obviously not see one of those problems tomorrow, however with Thuram's absence we will have to play Kovac and if he's not up to his Serie A debut we could be in for a bit of trouble.

We need to improve our posession and passing in midifeld, and as each game goes by the Emerson and Vieira partnership recieves valuable playing time together. If Zlatan is indeed rested Mutu will get the start and we will play with the straight 4-4-2 again...hopefully with better results than two weeks ago. Hopefully Nedved will regain his form in this match because we need him for the Brugge match because I doubt Capello will use a trident attack away from home, albeit in the Champions League. Not very likely is it huh.

This will probably be the team for the match in a few hours:

Abbiati

Pessotto - Cannavaro - Kovac - Zambrotta

Camoranesi - Emerson - Vieira - Nedved

Trezeguet - Mutu


I expect Mutu to have a breakout match for Juventus after his great performances for Romania this past week, so this match should keep us entertained for a while. I wouldn't bet on it, though.


And by the way, I will unfortunately miss the match tomorrow due to my own football match I have to attend to, however I will tape it and give my review of the game as soon as possible. FORZA JUVE!!!!

guess that we shouldn't think about this game as an easy one. As andy said we need neddy back to form as well as kovac.

i hope trezi scores, i really want his touch in front of goal to get back. Also hope mutu does well.

Haha, i just noticed this game will be shown Live on tv on swedish Kanal 5 which is great because they never show Serie A.

AWESOME!!

TV4 is also showing Ascoli-Lecce a bit later.
