At this point in the season, every game is a must-win for Juventus, who are in the thick of the race for Champions League places next season. And Juve need to make it to the Champions League for sporting, financial, and, yes, Cristiano Ronaldo reasons.

Their opponents on Sunday will be Milan, and it is especially vital that Juve win this match. They defeated another top-four contender, Napoli, a couple of weeks ago, but they then lost to Atalanta afterward. Juve defeated Milan earlier this season, but they would relinquish their head-to-head advantage with a loss at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday night.

Who will start for the Bianconeri in this vital fixture? Let’s take a look at the possible lineup Andrea Pirlo could select for Serie A’s Matchday 35 at the Allianz Stadium against the Rossoneri when third place heading into the weekend (Juve) faces fourth (Milan).

GK Wojciech Szczesny

Wojciech Szczesny is a near-lock to start for Juventus in this match, though Gianluigi Buffon has been quite good. this season, including in the most important games. But Szczesny is the No. 1 for good reason and will most likely start on Serie A’s Matchday 35. And you know how badly he wants a clean sheet right now.
