Juventus and Lazio reshuffle for Coppa Italia semi-final | OneFootball

Juventus and Lazio are expected to make big changes for the Coppa Italia semi-final, including starts for Dusan Vlahovic, Ciro Immobile, Weston McKennie and Matteo Guendouzi.

The first leg kicks off at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin on Tuesday at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).

They will then meet at the Stadio Olimpico for the decider on April 23.

These teams crossed paths on Saturday in Serie A, which was the debut for new Lazio coach Igor Tudor, resulting in a 1-0 victory with Adam Marusic’s header deep into stoppages.

Also with an eye on the Coppa Italia semi-final, Tudor had left Luis Alberto, Guendouzi and Immobile on the bench, but they are all expected to start tomorrow.

Luca Pellegrini was suspended in Serie A and also happens to be banned in the Coppa Italia along with Pedro.

Tudor switched to a 3-4-2-1 formation and should use Luis Alberto in a more advanced role with Felipe Anderson in support of Immobile, sending Mattia Zaccagni wide of midfield.

Ivan Provedel is still out of action with a sprained ankle.

Juventus briefly experimented with a 4-3-3 formation on Saturday, but are expected to switch back to Max Allegri’s favoured 3-5-2.

Arkadiusz Milik is still out of action, with Carlos Alcaraz and Alex Sandro back in the squad following knocks.

The biggest return is Vlahovic, who was suspended in Serie A following the red card for dissent, while McKennie is also available after he returned fatigued from international duty with the USMNT.

Filip Kostic has shaken off flu symptoms and is also tipped to start.
