On Sunday, Juventus will try to make it three straight home wins when they take on Spezia at the Estadio Alberto Picco. Caught between two Europa League legs, Max Allegri could opt for a partial rotation, especially after the unsatisfying draw at home.
Therefore, Acquilotti will try to seize the opportunity and achieve an impressive result. Despite their recent problems, the Ligurians have several dangerous players who can wreak havoc on any opponent in their day.
So let’s take a closer look at three Spezia players Juventus should watch out for.
Emmanuel Gyasi (Winger)
The club captain used to play in a more forward position in the past, but is now acting as a right-back in Luca Gotti’s 3-5-2 formation.
The 29-year-old has the pace and cunning to cause his counterpart headaches. His duel with Filip Kostic will be interesting.
Daniele Verde (Second Forward)
The Roma youth squad remains one of the most skilled strikers in Serie A, and his double against Empoli last weekend was a stark reminder of his immense talent.
With his impeccable dribbling and sky-high morale, the 26-year-old will be a tough puzzle for Allegri’s defence.
I’m not afraid (Striker)
The Angolan attacker has been out of action for several weeks, but based on our luck this season, he should announce his return this particular weekend.
The big striker is a classic center forward who uses his sheer physical strength and clinical touch to get his goals. He already had nine strikes to his name before his stoppage.
Even if he doesn’t start the match, his presentation could be shocking, while it will be interesting how Juve’s defenders fare against him in the absence of the suspended Gleison Bremer.
