Predicted Juventus lineup vs Inter Milan: Derby D’Italia has massive Scudetto implications
By John Vaccaro
LW: Cristiano Ronaldo
He wasn’t able to score against Lyon, but Cristiano Ronaldo’s Serie A scoring streak is still alive and well. Now, he has a chance to break the streak for consecutive Serie A matches with a goal in one of the biggest matches of this Serie A season.
These are the matches that Ronaldo is at Juventus to win, so he’ll be expected to step up and deliver this one on Sunday even if it requires an incredible individual effort to score a winner.
ST: Paulo Dybala
Paulo Dybala looked great in his first two starts in the middle of Juve’s 4-3-3, but struggled to maintain that success early on against Lyon.
He managed to create a few opportunities in the second half once Juve actually started chasing a goal and looking like they were ready to play.
Hopefully, he comes out looking like the second half Dybala right from the start in this match because his early contribution the first time these 2 teams ended up being very important for Juve.
Dybala has struggled to score against Inter in the past, but if he can change that on Sunday it would be huge for Juve.
RW: Douglas Costa
Douglas Costa is probably a little bit less likely than the other recently injured player on this list, but I truly believe Juve needs to throw everything they can at Inter Milan this weekend.
There is no question that Costa is a more talented player than Juan Cuadrado and if he is physically capable of starting this match, then he absolutely needs to be in the starting lineup.
Juve’s attack has struggled to look formidable for complete matches this season and they need players who can provide a spark to change that.
Costa’s pace and creativity are the types of abilities that can provide that spark. This is a must-win match for Juventus and that should mean that they aren’t holding anybody back.
Next. Inter may turn to Premier League for Lautaro replacement. dark
How do you think Juve should lineup?
