Juventus will kick off their Champions League campaign under Massimiliano Allegri tonight as they prepare to welcome Swedish side Malmö FF to Turin.
Allegri is set to continue with the 3-5-2 system that his predecessor Antonio Conte installed. Martín Cáceres and Leonardo Bonucci will form the back three with the returning Giorgio Chiellini.
There are issues in midfield with key men Arturo Vidal and Andrea Pirlo both missing through injury. As a result Kwadwo Asamoah is set to be moved to a more central role with Patrice Evra starting at left wing back. Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente will likely lead the attack.
Malmö’s Norwegian coach Åge Hareide is set to put out a more conservative side than what he usually deploys in the Swedish domestic championship. Perhaps the most recognisable name in his side is former Werder Bremen striker Markus Rosenberg, who will lead the attack alongside youngster Isaac Kiese Thelin.
PROBABLE LINE UPS
Juventus (3-5-2) – Buffon; Caceres, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Asamoah, Marchisio, Pogba, Evra; Tevez, Llorente.
Malmö (5-3-2) – Olsen; Tinnerholm, Johansson, Halsti, Helander, Konate; Forsberg, Kofi Adu, Eriksson; Rosenberg, Kiese Thelin.
