Tenth matchday of the championship. Luciano Spalletti makes his debut on the Juventus bench, ready for a change of course.

With Bremer still sidelined, Kalulu will join Gatti at the center of the defense. On the left, Cambiaso and on the right, McKennie, Juventus's all-rounder. In the midfield, captain Locatelli, with Thuram and Koopmeiners as midfielders. Vlahovic is preferred over David from the start, with Openda on the right and Filip Kostic launched on the left.
