Last week, Juventus arguably deserved more than a 1-1 draw based on the action, but the Bianconeri can still secure qualification for the Europa League round of 16 if they beat Nantes away from home on Thursday.
After missing the weekend trip to Spezia, Federico Chiesa remains a big concern for Max Allegri. The winger has been working apart from his teammates as he tries to get him back into shape ahead of the trip to France.
However, the coach is already making plans for the crucial game and realizes that his team may have to cope with the absence of the Italian.
According to Corriere dello Sport via TuttoJuve, Allegri will likely return to a 3-5-1-1 formation, with Angel Di Maria supporting Dusan Vlahovic up front.
Reminiscent of the first leg, the Brazilian trio will start at the back, with Wojciech Szczesny between the posts.
In midfield, Nicolò Fagioli will overtake the disappointing Leandro Paredes, joining Manuel Locatelli and Adrien Rabiot.
While Filip Kostic remains the undisputed choice on the left, Mattia De Sciglio and Juan Cuadrado are vying for a spot on the right flank.
Juventus Possible XI (3-5-1-1): Szczesny; Danilo, Bremer, Sandro; De Sciglio (Square), Beans, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Di Maria, Vlahovic
