Juve-Fiorentina, the probable formation: the choices on Paredes and Di Maria

Allegri evaluates the “ex” factor and not only that, in preparing for the match against Fiorentina, just a few days before the seasonal debut in the Europa League. Thinking too soon of Nantes would be a gross mistake for a team like Juve, which has yet to keep attention focused on the championship and in general concentration on all other fronts. And then a big hand could certainly come from those who have something more to come up with for their past, but also from those seeking redemption: one above all Paredes, who played alongside Locatelli in the first leg.

And then Vlahovic, who found the goal in Salerno but needs to put minutes in his legs to find the best condition again; while Chiesa is a candidate to support him, this time starting a possible relay race with Di Maria. In short, after their debut in the Italian Cup, the pair of former viola would meet for the first time in Serie A against Fiorentina.

Towards Fiorentina

—

Possible some changes compared to the last occasion, also because between the two games against Nantes there will be another delicate away match, the one at Spezia. Against Fiorentina, in defense, at least one between Gatti and Rugani could make some Brazilians catch their breath: in particular Alex Sandro or alternatively Danilo. While in midfield the choices seem much more limited: to evaluate the form of Rabiot, who could also rest in view of the commitment in the Europa League; therefore, as in the first leg, there would be room for both Paredes (recovered) and Locatelli, perhaps with Fagioli. Kostic should play regularly on the left wing, but watch out for Iling. Cuadrado is ahead of De Sciglio this time to take care of the right lane. Then it is obvious that the substitutions could make the difference, but Allegri would like to attack the Viola team immediately, so as to better manage energy by spending less in the long run.
