How will Juventus' lineup change with Tudor at the helm?

Igor Tudor is expected to switch to a three-man defense at Juventus, relying on Dusan Vlahovic as the main striker. 

The former Croatian defender will replace Thiago Motta at the Allianz Stadium, aiming for Champions League qualification. 

Under Motta, Juventus have mainly played with a four-man defense, but Tudor will probably change the formation and opt for a three-man defense. 


Multiple media outlets, including Ilbianconero.com, claim that Federico Gatti is likely to play as a right-back in Juventus' back line, although Pierre Kalulu could also cover the same position if Gatti plays in the centre. Lloyd Kelly and Renato Veiga are the most likely options to play on the left. 

Andrea Cambiaso and Tim Weah are expected to play as full-backs, on the left and right respectively, while Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram will provide the necessary physicality in the middle of the park.

Tudor has already said that he considers Vlahovic the best striker in Serie A, so he is expected to regain his title spot as a centre-forward. 

Several players could fill the other two spots behind Vlahovic: Kenan Yildiz, Teun Koopmeiners, Weston McKennie, Randal Kolo Muani and even Samuel Mbangula. 

Juventus are expected to confirm Tudor's appointment by Monday so that the Croatian can be in charge on Saturday against Genoa at the Allianz Stadium. /Telegraph/
