Messina - Juventus
Stadio San Filippo
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus are back on track following their win over Udinese, but will they use the new tactical system in Sicily?
Fabio Capello gambled with a 3-4-3 formation in Turin last week and emerged with a 2-1 victory that eased the pressure on the Bianconeri. Alessandro Del Piero, David Trezeguet and Zlatan Ibrahimovic might be considered too much of a risk away to Messina, where the home side has only lost twice this season. Olivier Kapo and Alessio Tacchinardi are likely to miss out with injury, while Pavel Nedved is close to a comeback after a month out with a knee problem.
Messina’s away form is very poor, but few teams have emerged from the Stadio San Filippo with anything. Midfielder Coppola is suspended, while Jorge Mamede, Luca Fusco and ex-Juve player Nicola Amoruso are doubts. Arturo Di Napoli looks set to start after his controversial goal in the 2-2 draw at Siena last Sunday.
It seems dp will be on the bench
