The year 2022 brought with it a renewal for Juventus. The old lady bought Duchamp and Lahovic for 75 million euros in the most expensive transfer of the transfer window, Dennis Zakaria also joined, and the team is back in the fight for the top 4 in Italy. However, recently there have been two draws in the league, against Atlanta and in the derby against Torino, which has slowed down the momentum a bit. Tonight (Tuesday), Juventus want to get back on the winning track, hosting the Champions League quarter-final with European League holder Villarreal Emery.
In light of the multiple injuries among the visitors’ brakes, Massimiliano Allegri was forced to improvise in the center of defense and place defender Danilo alongside Matisse de Licht. At the link, Allegri decided to bench Zakaria, and bring in Adrian Ravio in his place, despite suffering a minor blow in training yesterday. Weston McKenny and Manuel Locatelli also received the lineup shirt at the link. The eyes will be on the past and Valowicz, who developed the offense alongside Albero Murata in his Champions League debut.
On the other hand, the yellow submarine was not really in a dive, but in a climb that took it back to the battle for the top 4 in Spain. The host has won three of its last four league games, with the only points loss coming in a 0-0 draw against Real Madrid. Giovanni Lou Celso, who arrived this summer from Tottenham, opens with a link, while the absence of star Gerard Moreno at the helm is filled by Dutchman Arnaut Denjoma, who scored a hat-trick in the last league round against Granada.
Compositions:
Villarreal: Hronimo Rolly, Juan Powith, Raul Albiol, Pau Torres, Alfonso Pedrasa, Etienne Capo, Danny Farho, Giovanni Lou Celso, Samuel Chucoza, Alberto Moreno, Arnaut Danguma.
Juventus: Wojciech Szczesny, Matthias de Chilio, Danilo, Mathies de Licht, Alex Sandro, Juan Cuadrado, Manuel Lucatelli, Adrian Ravio, Weston McKinney, Albero Murata, Duchamp and Lachovic.
