Juventus: 5 burning questions for Coppa Italia final

2. Will Arkadiusz Milik start?

On the other side, Napoli used Dries Mertens as their center forward against Inter, and he scored the team’s lone goal. However, star striker Arkadiusz Milik did enter the game as a substitute for Mertens in the 75th minute and has been a key player for Napoli in the 2019-2020 Serie A season.

Milik is squarely on Juve’s radar as a possible replacement for Gonzalo Higuain, and after PSG signed Inter man Mauro Icardi on a permanent deal, Milik looks like their best bet. If he starts, he could cause the most problems for Juventus due to his physicality in the air and ability to finish off some spectacular goals. Keep a close eye on his status for Wednesday.

3. Can the Dybala, Ronaldo connection shine?

BWRAO had a great piece about it here, but there were definitely communication issues between Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala on Friday against Milan. The two of them were not exchanging fluid passes, they didn’t seem to be on the same wavelength off the ball, and Ronaldo was often dropping deeper to the detriment of the team’s attack without a goal-scoring threat ahead of him. And when the two tried to connect on the break, they would often make a pass into empty space.

Ronaldo and Dybala are the two best attacking players in Serie A when looking at pure talent, yet the production hasn’t been where it should be. Napoli’s defense is strong on paper but vulnerable in practice, so this Coppa Italia final could be an opportunity for Ronaldo and Dybala to get things right.
