Champions League line-ups: Juventus vs. Sporting CP Kenan Yildiz returns with Dusan Vlahovic and that surprising Teun Koopmeiners deeper role as Luciano Spalletti makes his Champions League debut on the Juventus bench against Sporting CP. It kicks off at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin at 20.00 GMT. ............ Koopmeiners is there again tonight, but Kenan Yildiz has shaken off a knee issue to start in support of Vlahovic. Weston McKennie is moved into a new role too, as Khephren Thuram’s calf problem is not serious enough to keep him out of the starting XI. Lloyd Kelly, Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal still injured, but Francisco Conceicao comes in for a more attacking approach. There is no time to lose, as Juve managed only a 4-4 draw with Borussia Dortmund, 2-2 against Villarreal, and lost 1-0 at Real Madrid. ............ Sporting CP have done rather well in the Champions League so far this season, beating Kairat Almaty 4-1 and Roberto De Zerbi’s Olympique Marseille 2-1, around a tight 2-1 defeat away to Napoli. They won their last five competitive matches in a row, unbeaten since that trip to Naples on October 1. ............ Juventus vs. Sporting CP line-ups Juventus: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Gatti, Koopmeiners; McKennie, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; Francisco Conceicao, Kenan Yildiz; Vlahovic Juventus bench: Perin, Scaglia, Zhegrova, Adzic, Kostic, Openda, Miretti, Rugani, Joao Mario, David, Rouhi Sporting: Rui Silva; Vagiannidis, Diomande, Goncalo Inacio, Araujo; Joao Simoes, Hjulmand; Quenda, Trincao, Goncalves; Ioannidis Sporting bench: Joao Virginia, Matheus Reis, Morita, Catamo, Kochorashvili, Alisson Santos, Rodrigo Ribeiro, Bruno Ramos, Salvador Blopa, Eduardo Quaresma, Ricardo Mangas, Suarez Ref: Siebert (GER) .

Juventus hope Thuram fit despite conflicting reports before Sporting clash Juventus remain hopeful Khephren Thuram will be fit to face Sporting Lisbon tonight, despite Tuttosport raising concerns over a potential recurrence of his calf injury. The French midfielder had missed the recent win over Udinese with a problem in his left calf but returned to start against Cremonese, lasting 79 minutes before being substituted. ............ Thuram experienced renewed discomfort and risked losing his place in the starting XI at the Allianz Stadium. ............ If the Frenchman had been unavailable, Luciano Spalletti was reportedly prepared to drop Weston McKennie into a central midfield role, with winger Francisco Conceição taking his spot on the right. However, Thuram should be available for selection. A final decision will be taken close to kick-off. ............ .

Ligue 1 club considers taking David back to the competition Since his move to Turin in the summer, Jonathan David has struggled to make a meaningful impact on the Juventus team. The Canadian forward joined the club as a free agent after running down his contract at Lille, where he had been regarded as one of Europe’s most prolific strikers. Juventus were reportedly delighted to secure his signature, believing they had outcompeted several of the continent’s top clubs in the process. ............ David’s difficulties in making an impact have not gone unnoticed. While his talent and experience in French football were considered major assets upon his arrival, he has yet to justify the confidence placed in him by the club. Juventus supporters and management alike had hoped for a swift transition into a central role, but his underwhelming performances have limited his playing time and influence on matches. The club continues to support his development, but his current trajectory has prompted speculation regarding his future. ............ Recent reports suggest that David could be on the move sooner than expected. He has now been linked with a return to Ligue 1, with Paris FC reportedly showing interest in securing his services. The French side is seeking a striker capable of providing goals consistently, and David’s experience in the league makes him an appealing option. Paris FC could make an approach for his signature as early as the January transfer window, with the forward included on their shortlist of potential candidates to address their attacking needs. ............ .

Fabio Capello discusses Koopmeiners’ new role against Cremonese One of the biggest failures of Juventus’ last two managers has been their inability to get the best out of Teun Koopmeiners, who joined the Bianconeri in the summer of 2024. He arrived as a European champion and had been one of the standout players at Atalanta, known for his tactical intelligence and composure on the ball. Juventus viewed him as one of their most promising signings, yet he has struggled to find consistency and make the impact that was expected of him. ............ Luciano Spalletti has attempted to find the most suitable position for Koopmeiners, experimenting with his deployment on the left in a recent match against Cremonese. The intention is to identify a role that allows him to utilise his technical skills and vision effectively while contributing to the team’s overall shape. It remains uncertain whether this position will be permanent, but Spalletti’s flexibility demonstrates the ongoing effort to extract the best from a player with undeniable qualities. Finding a system that complements his natural attributes is essential for him to regain form and confidence. ............ Fabio Capello has also offered his view on Koopmeiners’ role, particularly the suggestion of using him as a defender. He said: “The idea of Koopmeiners as a centre back? It seems like an idea, not so much as a defender because he’s not Costacurta, so to speak, but he knows how to position himself well, but when he has the ball and moves forward, he can do something more and can be a surprise for opponents too. Someone who knows what to do with the ball at his feet, not like many defenders. In that role, he’s so-so…” ............ .

Champions League Preview: Juventus vs Sporting CP – Team News, Line-ups & Prediction It’s been a busy week for the Turin giants as they parted ways with underperforming boss Igor Tudor following a dreadful eight-game winless run in all competitions. Interim boss Massimo Brambilla inspired Juventus to a morale-boosting 3-1 home win over Serie A strugglers Udinese last week. Then, Spalletti enjoyed a dream touchline debut as Juventus saw off newcomers Cremonese 2-1 on the road, building a head of steam ahead of Sporting’s visit. Failure is not an option for the former Scudetto winner, as the record-time Italian champions sit outside the playoff spots before the kick-off. Indeed, the Bianconeri have only won two points in the opening three league-phase rounds (D2, L1), most recently slumping to a narrow 1-0 defeat at Real Madrid. In stark contrast, Sporting have fared reasonably well, sandwiching a 2-1 away loss to Juventus’ bitter rivals Napoli with a pair of home victories. ............ Match Preview Juventus This clash has all the makings of a ‘make or break’ contest for Juventus. With only two points to their name, Spalletti’s men desperately need a win here to reignite their pursuit of knockout qualification. With that in mind, this upcoming encounter against Sporting seems perfectly timed. For perspective, Juventus have gone unbeaten in all four historic meetings with the Portuguese powerhouse (W2, D2). It’s also worth noting that both wins arrived in Turin, albeit by narrow single-goal margins, highlighting just how closely contested these encounters have been. Maintaining their flawless home record against Sporting feels imperative, as Juventus bid to arrest a woeful four-game winless run in the Champions League (D2, L2). Ominously, that’s their worst streak at Europe’s top table since 2013. On the bright side, they’ve been formidable at the Allianz Stadium this term. Despite recent managerial shifts, Allianz remains a fortress, with Juventus avoiding defeat in their last ten home outings across all competitions (W7, D3), including a nerve-wracking 4-4 draw against Borussia Dortmund in their most recent Champions League game in Turin. Sporting CP ............ Team News Long-term absentees Juan Cabal, Gleison Bremer, and Arkadiusz Milik remain on the sidelines. Yet, Juventus can find comfort in Kenan Yildiz’s return from injury after missing out on the Cremonese game. Moreover, Lloyd Kelly could also be at Spalletti’s disposal after overcoming a minor muscle issue. ............ Juventus vs Sporting CP Potential Starting Lineups Juventus (3-5-2): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Rugani, Gatti; Cambiaso, Thuram, Locatelli, Koopmeiners, Kostic; Openda, Vlahovic. Sporting CP (4-2-3-1): Silva; Vagiannidis, Diomande, Inacio, Araujo; Hjulmand, Morita; Quenda, Trincao, Goncalves; Suarez. Juventus vs Sporting CP Prediction With Spalletti on the bench, Juventus could turn into a different beast, and this clash might mark a turning point in their dreadful Champions League campaign. Given Sporting’s embarrassing record in Italy and a well-documented travel sickness, we back the Bianconeri to get off the mark in Europe. Prediction: Juventus to Win .

Massimo Pavan insists Juventus needs a good night against Sporting Juventus are set to face Sporting Club in the Champions League tonight in what promises to be a crucial fixture for both sides. Each team will be eager to secure victory and strengthen its position in the competition. Juventus, under new manager Luciano Spalletti, approach the match with renewed energy and optimism following a recent upturn in form. ............ Sporting Club, the reigning champions of Portugal’s top division, represent a formidable opponent. Their technical ability, tactical organisation and experience in European competitions make them a dangerous side. Juventus, aware of this, will need to display discipline, control and creativity to overcome the challenge. The match provides Spalletti with another opportunity to assess how well his players are adapting to his methods and tactical expectations. As an experienced coach with a deep understanding of European football, Spalletti knows the magnitude of the task ahead. His focus will be on maintaining Juventus’s recent momentum while identifying the individuals responding most effectively to his approach. The game is also a chance for the Bianconeri to demonstrate that their recent revival is more than temporary and that they remain capable of competing with the continent’s elite. ............ Commenting on the significance of the upcoming clash, Massimo Pavan stated: “The Bianconeri are immediately faced with an important, if not decisive, match. The missteps in previous matches make a victory a must. However, judging by Sporting Lisbon’s performance against Napoli, it won’t be easy at all.” ............ .

Buffon: ‘Spalletti the best choice for Juventus – Allegri had more trust because of his record’ Gianluigi Buffon believes Juventus have made “the best possible choice” by appointing Luciano Spalletti but admits he regrets not seeing him take charge from the start of the season. ............ “They started well, but maybe not fully convinced by the project,” Buffon said. “Looking at how and when Tudor was sacked, it suggests there wasn’t complete belief from the beginning. Now they’ve made the best possible fix: Spalletti can guarantee the results the fans and club expect. The only pity is that I’d have liked to see him from the start, with pre-season and player choices, Juve could’ve been competitive until the end.” ............ Buffon also touched on Igor Tudor’s dismissal: “It seemed there were problems with empathy between him and the directors. You could sense it from his last interviews.” On Juventus’ broader situation, he added: “After ten years of success, it’s natural to go through difficulties. They need the right people in management, on the bench and on the pitch. We experienced something similar between 2009 and 2011.” On Allegri, who the former Italy international argued received more backing from the Juventus leadership than any of his successors, Buffon noted: “He had more trust because of his past.” ............ .
