Surprising pick at the back -Juvefc.com

Tonight, Juventus will try to keep their slim Champions League hopes alive by earning an away win over Benfica.

The Portuguese emerged victorious when the two teams met in Turin on Matchday 2, and currently sit top of the group alongside PSG on 8 points, five ahead of the Bianconeri.

Almost an hour before the start, the Italians have announced their starting line-up. Max Allegri will maintain the 3-5-2 tactical form that earned him wins over Empoli and Torino in the club’s last two outings.

Wojciech Szczesny will be between the sticks, while club captain Leonardo Bonucci runs the backline supported by Danilo and Federico Gatti, who is the surprise choice of the line-up.

The midfield remains intact, with Manuel Locatelli operating between Weston McKennie and Adrien Rabiot, while Juan Cuadrado and Filip Kostic take the wings.

While many expected Arkadiusz Milik to start, Moise Kean gets the nod once again alongside Dusan Vlahovic.
