Juventus: 5 burning questions for Coppa Italia final

Juventus will face a tough matchup in the Coppa Italia final.

In their last head-to-head meeting with Napoli, Juventus fell 2-1 on the road with only Cristiano Ronaldo grabbing a late consolation for the Bianconeri. While Napoli have been huge disappointments in Serie A, they have looked strong in other competitions, hence their standing in the final of the Coppa Italia after drawing Inter in the second leg.

Here are five burning questions for Juve for Wednesday’s game after their own 0-0 second-leg draw with Milan.

1. Who starts in midfield?

Aaron Ramsey may not be fit for a second straight game, as he was unable to start against Milan. He also wasn’t available to come off the bench, so Maurizio Sarri had to sub in his two least effective midfielders in Adrien Rabiot and Sami Khedira.

Miralem Pjanic was able to start despite some initial doubts, but he may as well have been left on the bench. He did nothing to progress Juve forward during the match and turned in an invisible performance.

The midfield remains a huge issue for the Bianconeri, who must make more – and sustainable – upgrades in the summer transfer window. Until then, they have to make do with what they have. Only Blaise Matuidi and star man Rodrigo Bentancur are guaranteed starts.
