Juventus in munich clash

JUVENTUS
"Buffon Bonucci,Barzagli, Chiellini Padoin, Pogba, Pirlo, Marchisio, Peluso Vucinic, Quagliarella"
BAYERN MUNICH
"Neuer Lahm, Van Buyten, Dante, Alaba Martinez, Schweinsteiger
Robben, Muller, Ribery Mandzukic"
Juventus will be without Stephan
Lichtsteiner and Arturo Vidal for
the second leg clash in Turin
following their first-leg bookings,
as the Bianconeri look to
overturn a 2-0 deficit against newly-crowned German champions
Bayern Munich. The bulk of the Old Lady's
starting XI were rested at the
weekend which means there could
be up to seven changes to the
side that beat Pescara 2-1.
Gianluigi Buffon should return, while Andrea Barzagli and Giorgio
Chiellini are welcomed back from
their domestic suspensions,
meaning the back four that has
served Juve so well this season
will be unchanged. Federico Peluso is likely to start
ahead of Ghanaian Kwadwo
Asamoah, who has suffered
indifferent form since returning
from the Africa Cup of Nations.
Simone Padoin could fill the right wing-back slot while Paul Pogba is
in contention to start in place of
the suspended Vidal. Mirko Vucinic has fully recovered
from illness but Sebastian Giovinco
will miss the match after being
stretchered off on Saturday,
leaving Fabio Quagliarella and
Alessandro Matri to battle it out for the remaining place upfront. Javi Martinez is available again for
Bayern after being suspended for
the first leg, but Toni Kroos
injured his adductor in Munich
which means there is likely to be
a reshuffle in attack, with Arjen Robben wide on the right, Thomas
Muller drifting inside to occupy
the No.10 role and Franck Ribery
wide left. Mario Mandzukic was rested
against Frankfurt at the weekend
but he is likely to start again
against Antonio Conte's men.
