How Juventus will play against Lecce?

Juventus head coach Igor Tudor is reportedly preparing to shake up his attacking setup for the upcoming Serie A clash with Lecce. With signs pointing toward a more aggressive lineup. That could feature Dusan Vlahovic and Randal Kolo Muani starting side by side for the first time under his management.

Offensive shift on the horizon

As per Tuesday’s update from Tuttosport, Tudor is considering a more forward-thinking approach in an effort to unlock Vlahovic’s potential up front. The Serbian striker has struggled to make an impact in his two appearances under Tudor. And registering just a single shot on target.

To address this, Tudor is expected to stick with the 3-4-2-1 formation he’s used so far, but with a tweak in personnel.

Kolo Muani and promising youngster Kenan Yildiz are both set to be positioned behind Vlahovic in a dynamic attacking trio.

Kolo Muani’s return

After a strong start to life at Juventus with five goals in his first three league outings, Kolo Muani has experienced a dip in form. And failing to score since the 1-0 win over Cagliari in late February mirroring Vlahovic’s recent dry spell.

The French forward was benched in Tudor’s debut against Genoa, a narrow 1-0 win. But made a second-half appearance in the 1-1 draw with Roma, showing signs of regaining sharpness.

Wing-back roles also evolving at Juventus

In addition to the changes up front, Tudor may also make adjustments to the wing-back roles. Reports indicate that Nico Gonzalez could be tasked with a more attack-minded position on the left. While either Andrea Cambiaso or Timothy Weah is expected to occupy the opposite flank.

With these potential shifts, Tudor seems intent on injecting more pace, creativity, and goal threat into his side as Juventus aim to boost their top-four hopes.
