What They're Saying
Cagliari manager Zdenek Zeman (via Football Italia): "Playing Juventus is a pleasure. It gives you an added stimulus today just as it did 20 years ago. We don't have much to worry about because we don't have much to lose. What matters is how we approach the game. We'll have to fight for every ball and make as few mistakes as possible both in defense and on the counter."
Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri (via Football Italia): "It's absolutely not true that the team is tired at the moment. On Sunday, we played one of our best games from a physical point of view. I think we made some technical mistakes and were guilty of too much urgency after the break, especially in the last 20 minutes."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: With rotation in mind, Juventus turn to Roberto Pereyra. The 23-year-old has two assists in 10 starts and is averaging 1.6 take-ons.
Cagliari's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Cragno; Avelar, Rossettini, Ceppitelli, Balzano; Crisetig, Conti, Ekdal; Cossu, Ibarbo, Farias
Juventus' Projected Lineup (4-3-1-2): Buffon; Evra, Ogbonna, Chiellini, Lichtsteiner; Marchisio, Pirlo, Vidal; Pereyra; Tevez, Llorente
