Two clubs in opposite halves of the Serie A table will do battle today in a league match between Juventus and Palermo. The first-division clash scheduled for 10 a.m. ET will be held at Juventus Stadium in Turin and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on beIN Sports.
What They're Saying
Palermo manager Beppe Iachini (via Football Italia): "Massimiliano Allegri has brought in ideas that can help improve them [Juventus] further. The Bianconeri have been stuttering recently, suffering two consecutive Champions League defeats to Atletico Madrid and Olympiacos, while their Serie A perfect record was ended by a 1-1 draw at Sassuolo. Juventus were unlucky in recent games, as when they didn't win then the opposition goalkeeper was always Man of the Match."
"We must play based on intensity and focus, as we can't get anything wrong," he added. "If we think of going to Turin to play passively, then it'll be a huge mistake. We are going there to play football and take the game to Juve."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Juventus' Paul Pogba has been instrumental in the club's early season success. The 21-year-old has one goal, an assist and an average 2.7 tackles in six appearances.
