What a derby it is. After a week spent charging each other, Turin and Juventus can finally face off on the lawn of the Stadio Olimpico (15 pm), for what will be the derby of Mole number 192 in history (169 in Serie A). A challenge that promises to be very interesting and not only for the great rivalry that has always divided the two fans: this time, in fact, the grenades really seem to be able to have their say. “It's a game different from the others, deeply felt by the whole city – the thought of Massimiliano Allegri. – Toro are an important team, more technical than physical and in fact they have the third attack of the championship. We have to prepare well and face it in the best possible way, I want a tough Juventus from all points of view." The Juventus coach remembers well what happened in Genoa a couple of weeks ago, which is why he has been preaching attention since the eve, even if the derby climate should avoid dangerous drops in tension. At stake then, in addition to city supremacy, there are very heavy points for the standings, especially with the direct clash between Rome and Milan tomorrow night and the match against the Giallorossi next Saturday. “It's normal for everyone to cheer against us – continued Allegri. – The championship is still long, there are many points available even if we want to win as many as possible between now and the pit stop. We know how delicate the challenges with Toro and Roma are but we have prepared ourselves in the best possible way".
If Juventus have chosen to wear gloves already on the eve, imagine Turin... The grenades, regardless of the technical characteristics of the players, will field everything they have and perhaps even something more, otherwise Mihajlovic could get really angry. “Juve will not only face 11 players but all our people, our present and our glorious past – Sinisa's speech. - They are like a dragon, if you cut off their heads two sprout but they'll have to work hard to beat us. Having said that, we mustn't make the mistake of thinking only about the derby: this would be a provincial mistake, it's a very important match but it's worth 3 points like all the others”. Despite Wednesday's Champions League match, Allegri will be able to count on a fairly fresh starting eleven: thanks to the turnover against Dinamo, which saved several important players minutes. This afternoon's 4-3-1-2 will see Buffon in goal, Lichtsteiner, Rugani, Chiellini and Alex Sandro in defence, Khedira, Marchisio and Sturaro in midfield, Pjanic in the trocar behind the attacking couple Higuain-Mandzukic (only bench for Dybala). Almost all skilled and enrolled on the Turin front, where Mihajlovic will have everyone available except Vives and Molinaro. The 4-3-3 grenade will see Hart in goal, Zappacosta, Rossettini, Castan and Barreca in the back, Benassi, Valdifiori and Baselli in the midfield, Iago Falque, Belotti and Ljajic in the offensive trident.
