In football more than elsewhere, there are sometimes trompe-l’oeil series. There Juventus
is the best example. Still undefeated in Serie A this season, Thiago Motta’s team does not really give the impression of dominating its subject, far from it. She only finished in a disappointing sixth place in the Italian championship. The fault lies in a more than contrasting record with its 10 draws conceded for only 6 small victories.
Still far from restoring its image to aim for a possible Scudetto, the Old Lady will therefore not neglect the Italian Cup. Because she already holds the trophy. Because it is the record-holding Italian club in this historic competition. And because this cut offers him an exciting prospect to fill his wardrobe if he has nothing else to eat in the second half of the season. In this context, the reception in Cagliari looks like a small formality, at least on paper, for the title holder.
The expected compositions
Juventus : Perin; Savona, Kalulu, Locatelli, Danilo; Thuram, Koopmeiners; Conceicao, Yildiz, Mbangula; Vlahovic.
Cagliari: Scuffett; Zappa, Wieteska, Palomino, Azzi; Marin, Prati, Deiola; Felici, Gaetano; Lapadula.
