Venezia

After stunning AS Roma 3-2 followed by a narrow win over Bologna, Venezia have suffered three consecutive defeats in Serie A.

Venezia’s return to top-flight hasn’t been a pleasant ride so far, but they will look to improve things moving forward.

Despite holding a poor record against Juventus, Venezia have the potential to beat the top sides as they did against Roma a few weeks ago.

Venezia are coming off a 4-3 defeat against Verona, in which Giovanni Simeone took the game away from the former side with a stunning brace.

Possible Venezia line-up

Sergio Romero, Pasquale Mazzocchi, Mattia Caldara, Michael Svoboda, Cristian Molinaro, Sofian Kiyine, Antonio Junior Vacca, Domen Crnigoj, Bjarki Steinn Bjarkason, Dennis Johnsen, Thomas Henry

Doubtful: Arnor Sigurdsson

Suspended: Pietro Ceccaroni

Juventus

After suffering defeats against Chelsea and Atalanta, Juventus have regained their confidence by winning three straight games in a row.

It has been an on-and-off season for Max Allegri‘s side but they will look to build on their impressive form in recent weeks.

The Old Lady skipper and star forward, Paulo Dybala, has found the scoresheet in the last two Serie A games and he is looking poised for another masterclass against Venezia.

Juve are coming off a 1-0 win against Malmo in their final group stage game that confirmed their position as group leaders ahead of Chelsea.

Moise Kean could be handed a place in the starting eleven after scoring the winning goal against Malmo.

Possible Juventus line-up

Wojciech Szczesny, Juan Cuadrado, Leonardo Bonucci, Matthijs de Ligt, Alex Sandro, Adrien Rabiot, Manuel Locatelli, Federico Bernardeschi, Paulo Dybala, Moise Kean, Alvaro Morata
