Aftering enduring a turbulent start to the campaign, that saw them getting knocked out of the Champions League and stumbled in the domestic competition, Juventus ended their competitive campaign for 2022 on a high, winning each of their last six league-games. Meanwhile, Allergri’s side have not conceded a single goal in the process. Their latest Serie A outing against Lazio ended in a dominant 3-0 win, courtesy of Moise Kean’s brace and Arkadiusz Milik’s late strike. Cremeonese, on the other hand, are yet to win anywhere in the league this season and have never before defeated the Turin-based club.
World Cup winner’s Angel di Maria and Leandro Paredes have returned from Argentina, but neither will be considered for selection on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic is occupying the treatment room with a groin injury and defender Leonardo Bonucci is doubtful because of an abductor problem. Paul Pogba and Federico Chiesa are the long-term absentees. As for Cremonese, veteran defender Vlad Chiriches unavailable for the game against the Old Lady. Therefore, Matteo Bianchetti could join Jack Hendry at the heart of the defence.
Cremonese possible line-up: Carnesecchi, Sernicola, Hendry, Bianchetti, Valeri, Meite, Castagnetti, Pickel, Buonaiuto, Okereke, Dessers
Juventus possible line-up: Szczesny, Danilo, Bremer, Sandro, Cuadrado, Fagioli, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic, Kean, Milik
