Injury concerns affect team selection, with Dusan Vlahovic, Arkadiusz Milik, and Emil Holm unavailable for the match. Both Vlahovic and Milik have returned to training but are still not match-ready.
With these injuries, players like Kenan Yildiz and Chico Conceicao need to step up. Yildiz scored in the previous meeting against Pisa, helping Juventus secure a 2-0 victory in December.
In attack, either Jonathan David or Lois Openda will lead the front line. Manuel Locatelli returns from suspension and will replace Teun Koopmeiners in the lineup.
