Leaders Juve are on stage in Catania

The march begins again. Leaders Juventus are on stage in Catania (at 20.45 pm) where they will be looking for yet another victory to bring the Scudetto even closer. Difficult to think that the target could escape this hungry Lady, moreover charged to a thousand after the beautiful victory in Florence. It will be up to Maran's Catania to try to stop it, but the premises are certainly not the best. The Sicilians are last in the standings at 20 points, 55 less than Juve. Seen in this way, the mission is really impossible, but the hosts still have a duty to try. “We face a much stronger team – acknowledged Maran. – The beauty of football, however, is that it allows you to subvert predictions, and we are also convinced that our stadium will give us a hand. We need our people and we will have to drag them along with the right attitude on the pitch." Almost desperate words from a coach who is trying to avoid a bad relegation.

Antonio Conte does not have these problems, who on the contrary will have to avoid the danger of relaxation. In fact, after the battle of the Franks there is the risk that the bianconeri could experience a physiological decline. That's why the coach will rotate several men, also due to the busy schedule (Wednesday will be the championship again with the match against Parma) and the absences which mainly affect the defense and midfield. In fact, there will be no Barzagli, Ogbonna, Peluso, Marchisio and the disqualified Pogba at Massimino. The turnover will also concern Buffon, who for once will give way to Storari. In front of him there will be Caceres, Bonucci and Chiellini, in the middle of the field Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Padoin and Isla. In attack, it's time for Fernando Llorente to rest, with Osvaldo as first striker and Tevez alongside him. Maran will respond with a 4-3-3 with Andujar in goal, Peruzzi, Rolin, Bellusci and Biraghi in defence, Izco, Lodi and Rinaudo in midfield, Keko, Bergessio and Barrientos in attack. In the meantime, Juve's head has also been on Europe since Friday. The victory in Florence and the benevolent draw (Lyon fifth in Ligue 1 are certainly not an irresistible opponent) made the continental competition even more tantalizing, which will end in Turin on May 14th. An important goal for this Lady who is never satisfied, who wants to break all the records in her history.
