Juventus can take yet another step towards a seventh straight Scudetto crown on Wednesday night when they travel south to take on Crotone and pile more pressure on chasing Napoli, who simultaneously face Udinese.
History bodes well for the Serie A leaders who have won all of their three Serie A games against Crotone, while patience could be the key for the Bianconeri as six of the eight goals they have scored against their midweek opponents have come in the second half.
Douglas Costa will be the man to watch for Juve and the Brazilian, who changed the game against Sampdoria last time out, has provided 10 assists in all competitions this season with nine of those coming in Serie A.
Crotone meanwhile are not in the best form themselves and have lost in four of their last five league games, winning one.
Crotone: Cordaz; Faraoni, Ceccherini, Capuano, Martella; Stoian, Barberis, Mandragora; Rohden, Simy, Diaby
Juventus: Szczesny; Lichtsteiner, Benatia, Rugani, Alex Sandro; Matuidi, Marchisio, Sturaro; Douglas Costa, Higuain, Dybala
