Juventus coach Thiago Motta could keep the same core for the Champions League encounter against Lille, but he could still make some changes to the starting line-up which beat Udinese on Saturdaybecause Francisco Conceicao should get the green light from the start.

The Bianconeri suffered a surprising defeat to Stuttgart in their last European outing, which ruined their perfect group stage record. The Italians will therefore be keen to obtain a positive result on French soil this Tuesday.

According to IlBianconeroThere will be limited changes to Motta’s selections, as the defensive duo of Pierre Kalulu and Federico Gatti retain their roles at the heart of the backline in the absence of the injured Gleison Bremer and the suspended Danilo.

Andrea Cambiaso is now a certainty for the manager, but it remains to be seen whether he will line up as a right-back or left-back. Much will depend on Motta’s decision to keep Nicolo Savona or go back to Juan Cabal. The young Italian should be the favorite to retain his role after his exploits in Friulibut the Colombian was also reliable when called upon.

In the middle of the park, Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram both put in strong performances against the Zebrette, so they could be confirmed ahead of the Champions League competition, keeping Weston McKennie and Nicolo Fagioli on the bench.

Furthermore, Motta admitted that Teun Koopmeiners is irreplaceablewe can therefore say that the Dutchman will start in the hole behind Dusan Vlahovic who retains his role due to the lack of alternatives.

Nonetheless, the report expects at least one change on the wings, with Conceicao making his return to the starting lineup after being rested over the weekend. The source believes that the Portuguese will most likely replace Timothy Weah who has started the last three matches, Kenan Yildiz should therefore retain his starting place.

Juventus probable XI (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Savona, Gatti, Kalulu, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Thuram; Conceicao, Koopmeiners, Yildiz; Vlahovic
