"Starting with the hosts, while Juventus might have come flying out of the traps when opening up the new campaign, Juventus have failed to find a similar level over the past fortnight. Suffering last-gasp Champions League frustration earlier in the week as they eventually had to settle for a pulsating 2-2 stalemate away at Spanish outfit Villarreal, the Old Lady have now only collected a single point from any of their previous four appearances across all competitions."
"Juventus Team News Limping off after just 16 minutes away at Villarreal on Wednesday night, Colombian international Juan Cabal will miss out this weekend. Likewise, not travelling over to Spain in midweek, Juventus are once again sweating over the fitness of Khephren Thuram here. Coming off the bench and opening his Champions League account on foreign soil a few days ago, Francisco Conceicao should be handed a full recall."
Juventus began the season strongly but have dropped form over the past fortnight, earning only one point from their last four matches. The team drew 2-2 at Villarreal and earlier produced a 4-4 home draw with Borussia Dortmund, yet defensive frailties remain acute after conceding 11 goals in five outings since September's break. Juan Cabal is sidelined after an early Villarreal exit and Khephren Thuram’s fitness is in doubt. Francisco Conceicao is likely to return to the starting lineup, while Jonathan David should lead the attack despite a five-match scoring drought. AC Milan recovered from an opening surprise loss to beat Napoli 2-1 and seek further momentum.
