According to a report from Tuttosport, Juventus may field a trident of Vlahovic, Yildiz and Conceição against Como.

McKennie will return to the team today. He is one of the two main candidates that coach Tudor is still struggling with against Como. The reason is simple: the lineup is too sufficient, especially in the midfield. However, the situation on the defensive line is not so optimistic: Brehmer and Cabal are both unable to play, which makes Tudor's cards significantly less.

Tudor has made a decision and will not change the formation. 3-4-2-1 is still the basis, and the two-forward plan will only be determined according to the situation during the game. The first key choice for the defense is: Gatti or Rugani, who will be the central defender?

This choice will also affect Kalulu's position. If Rugani is played, then Gatti can play as the right center back and Kalululu will play as the right center back; otherwise, Kalulu will play the right center back and let Joao Mario serve as the right wing back. He is currently leading the competition with Kostic and McKennie.

In the midfield position, Locatelli and Thuram currently occupy the starting initiative. Kupmenas is temporarily behind Miretti and is still in the recovery stage. He is expected to return to training together early next week.

In terms of forwards, status is the most important reference standard. Vlahovic has recovered in the national team, and Yildiz is even more popular, scoring 3 goals in 2 games with the Turkish national team. Conceicao Junior is Tudor’s trusted source of creativity. Therefore, Tudor may continue to use a combination that has been tried: Vlahovich + Yildiz + Conceicao Junior to form an offensive trident.
