Juventus’ preparations continue in view of the away match in Rome, scheduled for Sunday 5 May 2024 at 8.45pm. The match against the Giallorossi, valid for the 35th matchday of Serie A, will also be the penultimate away match of this championship for the Juventus team. Yesterday, Massimiliano Allegri’s boys took to the field at the Continassa Training Center, dedicating themselves to game combinations to develop the maneuver with final conclusions before concentrating on individual work.
Chiesa should return from the first minute for Roma.
Allegri’s team is looking for precious points to qualify for the Champions League. For this match, the Livorno coach seems inclined to confirm 10/11 of the team, which challenged Milan almost a week ago. In defense the choices seem to have been made and Juve will once again focus on their certainties, namely Szczesny, Gatti, Bremer and Danilo. In midfield on the right, Allegri could once again choose Weah who did very well against Milan. The Juventus number 22 canceled out one of the best external attackers in Serie A like Leao. Weah is in a run-off with McKennie although he seems to be slightly favored over his compatriot. In the middle in the midfield role he could see Cambiaso again. If, however, McKennie were to be there from the first minute, at that point the former Bologna player would slide to the flank. Completing the midfield there will, as always, be two Allegri loyalists in Locatelli and Rabiot. While Kostic will move to the left. In attack there should be the return of Chiesa who should act alongside Vlahovic. The Juventus number 7 is favored over Yildiz. In addition to the Turk, Milik and Kean will be on the bench.
Church wants to dispel the Rome taboo.
Roma-Juventus is a match that does not generate good memories for Federico Chiesa. In fact, the Juventus number 7 suffered a ruptured cruciate ligament in his knee on 9 January 2022 at the Olimpico against the Giallorossi. This is not the only negative memory for the Juventus star, because Chiesa has never scored a goal in Serie A against Roma. This is one of the taboos that the former Viola will want to dispel, also to help Juventus regain a victory that has been missing on the road since January 21st and would allow Allegri’s boys to mathematically qualify for the next Champions League. At the Olimpico Chiesa only made one assist for the temporary 1-1 draw for the Bianconeri who then won 3-4 in the 2021/22 season. Now, the Juventus number 7 can no longer make mistakes and must try to be decisive also to be able to renew his contract with the Old Lady which expires in 2025 on more favorable terms.
