Serie A: Cremonese vs. Juventus – probable line-ups and where to watch on TV | OneFootball

Luciano Spalletti will likely stick to a three-man defence for his debut as Juventus coach against Jamie Vardy’s Cremonese.

It kicks off at 20:45 CET (19:45 CMT) at the Stadio Zini in Cremona.

The home side are one of the most surprising teams of the season, having collected 14 points in the opening nine matches, just one less than Juventus.

Spalletti will make his debut as the new Juventus coach tonight, but the Tuscan tactician has been forced to cope without the injured Lloyd Kelly and Kenan Yildiz.

Spalletti only had one training session on Friday to prepare for this fixture, which means he’ll confirm a three-man defence before starting to work on a four-man backline in the coming days.

Gazzetta dello Sport (page seven) reports that Spalletti will pick a 3-5-2 system with Dusan Vlahovic and Lois Openda in attack, while Filip Kostic will start his second consecutive match on the left wing.

According to Sky and Tuttosport, Francisco Conceiçao will start instead, leaving Kostic on the bench.

Juan Cabal, Arek Milink, Gleison Bremer and Carlo Pinsoglio are unavailable for the Bianconeri.

Cremonese, on the other hand, are without Michele Collocolo, Faris Moumbagna, Alessio Zerbin, Alberto Grassi and Giuseppe Pezzella.

Davide Nicola will also rely on a 3-5-2 system with Vardy and Federico Bonazzoli up front.
