Ninety minutes – plus possible penalties – for a place in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia, where the opponent will be Empoli at home. For Juventus and Cagliari, tonight’s match comes after a weekend that was certainly not positive, albeit for different reasons: the Bianconeri stumbled into yet another draw, 2-2 with Venezia, last in the standings and winning until the 95th minute, the Rossoblu, despite playing well, left without points (like nine days ago in Florence) against league leaders Atalanta, also due to a penalty not awarded with the score at 0-0 . Now the cup, a moment of possible redemption for both teams but also for several players .
Davide Nicola yesterday, for the first time this season, announced the lineup. Or almost all of it: «Scuffet will definitely take his place in goal», the words from Assemini yesterday before leaving for Turin . «Then Zappa, one between Mina and Wieteska, Palomino and Augello; Marin, Prati and Deiola; I have to evaluate a situation related to Felici, then Lapadula and Gaetano up front with Pavoletti and Piccoli during the game». So 4-3-3, or 4-3-2-1, with nine of the eleven players already confirmed and many new features compared to Saturday . Also on the bench is Alessandro Vinciguerra, captain of the Primavera .
In Juventus, however, there could be only two changes compared to the team seen three days ago: the change in goal between Mattia Perin and Michele Di Gregorio is obvious, then it is possible that Manuel Locatelli (instead of Khéphren Thuram) will pair up with Manuel Locatelli. Great expectations for Dušan Vlahović, who on Saturday was in open controversy with the stadium .
Referee Ermanno Feliciani from the Teramo section. Kick-off at 9:00 p.m., there will be no extra time in the event of a draw but penalties . These are the probable lineups for Juventus-Cagliari.
Juventus (4-2-3-1): Perin; Savona, Gatti, Kalulu, Danilo; McKennie, Locatelli; Weah, Koopmeiners, Yildiz; Vlahovic. Coach Thiago Motta.
Cagliari (4-3-3): Scuffet; Zappa, Wieteska, Palomino, Augello; Marin, Prati, Deiola; Felici, Lapadula, Gaetano. Coach Nicola.
