In the previous round, Juventus had all the trouble in the world to get rid of Genoa at home (3-2 after extra time). Usually dominating in the league, the Bianconeri now occupy only 4th place in Serie A with 1 game less and 7 units behind the current leader but they have still won 4 of their last 5 league games, for 1 loss. After a very damaging setback conceded in the den of Inter (2-0), the Old Lady won the Italian Supercup at the expense of Naples (2-0) before dominating, at home, Bologna in the league on last weekend (2-0).
In order to reach the quarter-final of the Italian Cup, SPAL dominated Bari (0-0, qualifying following a penalty shootout), Crotone (1-1, qualifying following a penalty shootout), Monza (2 -0) and Sassuolo (0-2) in the previous rounds. Relegated from Serie A last year, the team are currently 5th in Serie B and are only 5 units behind the top of the standings. Scorer Paloschi’s teammates are struggling to recover right away and they remain on a good running streak of 3 games unbeaten. After defeating Frosinone (1-2) and Reggiana (2-0), SPAL were held in check by Cremonese (14th in the standings) last weekend (1-1).
The workforce for Juventus vs SPAL
For Juve, titular left-back Alex Sandro (covid) and Argentine striker Dybala (injured) are still unavailable this week. Dutch defender De Ligt, on the other hand, made his return to the pitch last weekend. Cristiano Ronaldo is the current Serie A top scorer with 15 goals but he could be spared for this game. During the last round of the Italian Cup, the attacking duo consisted of Kulusevski and Morata.
In this SPAL formation, we find several elements that have long figured in Serie A in recent seasons. We are thinking of defender Tomovic (ex Fiorentina), midfielders Lucas Castro (ex Hellas Verona) and Missiroli (ex Sassuolo) and forwards Paloschi (ex Milan AC) and Floccari (ex Parma). But for this match, D’Alessandro (ex Atalanta) and Di Francesco (2nd top scorer) will be forfeited. Just loaned by Atalanta, the international hopes Tumminello is suspended.
