On Saturday, at 14:00, SPAL will receive the Juventus visit in a match for the 32nd Serie A. The game will take place at the Ferrara “Paolo Mazza” stadium.
In spite of the huge lead in the Serie A hierarchy, which could give him the title’s mathematical win in the wake of this stage, Juventus does not leave the foot on the accelerator pedal. Keeping the best “11” for UEFA Champions League matches and using many reserves in the championship, Allegri proves to be inspired, because Juventus does not disappoint even under these conditions. This time, the infernal program has basically forced Allegri to resort to almost an entire first “11” experimental, in which, however, names like Pjanic, Dybala or Douglas Costa.
On the other hand, SPAL finds itself in a situation where it can really take advantage of this situation. After the devastating match Wednesday night in Amsterdam, Juventus has another match in Torino next Tuesday, decisive for qualifying in UCL’s “carefree” after 1-1 against Ajax. With three wins in the last four stages and seriously pressed by bands in the vicinity of the “Red Zone,” SPAL will give everything to pull away at least a draw against the upcoming champions.
Three direct confrontations took place between the two bands: Juventus was imposed twice, while the other ended in tie;
The only direct duel on “Paolo Mazza” took place in the last season’s return when the two teams drew a 0-0 draw;
The previous straight match took place on the “Allianz Stadium” tournament, when Juventus forced himself without emotion, score 2-0;
Probable teams:
SPAL (3-5-2): Viviano-Cionek, Vicari, Bonifazi- Lazzari, Murgia, Missiroli, Kurtic, Fares-Antenucci, Petagna
Juventus (4-3-3): Szczesny – De Sciglio, Bonucci, Rugani, Spinazzola – Bentancur, Pjanic, Khedira – Dybala, Kean, D. Costa
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a minimal level of spectacularity in the game. Without excluding a scenario with goals on both sides, we believe that the rhythm of the game and the offensive desires of the hosts, which will bring with them holes and defenses on the defensive, will influence a relatively spectacular outcome.
PREDICTION: Juventus to win @ 2.02
