Ex-Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, and Real Madrid winger Angel Di Maria is favourite to start in attack for Juventus in tomorrow evening’s Coppa Italia semifinal second leg match against Inter, as is Dusan Vlahovic.
This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, who also report that the Bianconeri are hoping to recover defender Bremer for the semifinal second leg clash at the San Siro.
Inter coach Simone Inzaghi took Sunday’s match against Empoli as an opportunity to rest a lot of his regular starters by rotating the eleven significantly, whilst his Bianconeri counterpart Max Allegri had to deal with a match against table-toppers Napoli.
The Juventus coach does nevertheless intend to make quite a few changes to the team that lost against the Partenopei in tomorrow evening’s semifinal match against Inter.
Against Napoli, it was Arkadiusz Milik and Matias Soule who started in attack for the Bianconeri, but against Inter tomorrow it will be Vlahovic leading the line whilst Di Maria is set to play off of the Serb from the start.
Meanwhile, in defense the Gazzetta report that Juventus are hoping to have Bremer ready to come back into the team, whilst Federico Gatti is likely to drop out of the starting eleven with Alex Sandro set for a return.
In wide areas, the Gazzetta reports that Filip Kostic and Federico Chiesa are both in contention to start on the Bianconeri’s left flank, whilst on the opposite side of the pitch it is likely to be Mattia De Scigilio who starts the match considering that Juan Cuadrado will be suspended for the match.
The first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal tie between Inter and Juventus ended in a 1-1 draw, so things will be very finely-poised heading into tomorrow evening’s match at the San Siro.
