Stadio Delle Alpi
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roberto Baggio scored against his former club Inter last week and hopes to repeat the trick as he returns to Turin.
The Divine Ponytail was once a hero at the Delle Alpi and lifted the World Player of the Year Award in front of the Juventus fans. It would not be the first time that he has troubled the Bianconeri and his Brescia side is buoyed by the 2-2 draw with Inter.
Andrea Caracciolo is the other danger man with a remarkable five goals under his belt. However, the memory of losing a two-goal lead in that game will force them to rethink their defensive strategy.
Juventus also got something of a shock last Saturday, almost losing a 3-0 lead at sorry Ancona. The fightback was a little too late to take full advantage of the situation and the match ended 3-2, but not before questions were asked of the Juve team’s commitment.
Marcello Lippi continues to rotate the squad and should give Fabrizio Miccoli the support role to David Trezeguet following his two goals at the weekend. Igor Tudor and Nicola Legrottaglie return from fitness worries, while Lilian Thuram and Alessio Tacchinardi are likely to be rested.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus (probable): Buffon; Birindelli, Legrottaglie, Iuliano, Zambrotta; Camoranesi, Tudor, Davids, Nedved; Miccoli, Trezeguet
Brescia (probable): Saja; Petruzzi, Mareco, Dainelli, Martinez; Filippini, Di Biagio, Matuzalem, Bachini; Baggio, Caracciolo
