After drawing to Hellas Verona, Juventus is looking for a win in a serious way when they play Spezia as the calendar turns to March in Serie A. Juve's scudetto hopes are hanging on and the three points are needed to aid in their battle for the top spot. Pirlo is still without Chiellini and Bonucci in his defense, and he will likely change his formation from 3-5-2 to a 4-4-2. Alex Sandro looks to take Bernardeschi's spot and play on the left, with Danilo to start at right fullback.
The midfield pairing is set as Bentancur and Rabiot, as Chiesa or Ramsey could be the two wide midfielders. Ronaldo-Kulusevski in the attack will remain unchanged.
The probable starting lineup:
Juventus (4-4-2): Szczesny; Danilo, Demiral, De Ligt, Alex Sandro; Chiesa, Bentancur, Rabiot, Ramsey; Kulusevski, Ronaldo. Coach: Pirlo
The full squad list, including the expected absences of Bonucci, Chiellini and Cuadrado, while Morata returns:
Goalkeepers: Szczesny, Pinsoglio, Buffon
Defenders: De Ligt, Alex Sandro, Danilo, Demiral, Di Pardo, Dragusin, Frabotta
Midfielders: Ramsey, McKennie, Chiesa, Rabiot, Bentancur, Bernardeschi, Fagioli, Kulusevski, Peters
Forwards: Ronaldo, Morata, Aké
