8:54am, 7 November 2025Football

This weekend, Juventus will face Turin at home. Before the game, according to "Gazzetta dello Sport", Spalletti was very satisfied with David's performance and the Canadian forward was expected to start the Turin Derby.

Juventus and Turin will be looking for an important victory in the derby. For fans of both teams, this is one of the most anticipated games of the season. Spalletti planned to start Vlahovic, but David's performance in the Champions League also satisfied the coach.

Although he failed to achieve ideal results in the Champions League, head coach Spalletti has begun preparations for his first Turin Derby, and he may make some adjustments to the lineup. First of all, Vlahovic is in good physical condition and although he was substituted in the previous game due to adductor discomfort, he will not miss the weekend's game. Juventus' offensive line is still led by Vlahovic, but David's performance against Sporting CP also left a deep impression on Spalletti.

It is expected that the team will continue to use a three-back formation, with Kupmenas once again playing the wide position. In the midfield, due to Thuram's poor physical condition, Kostic may get the chance to start, while McKennie will serve as the core of the midfield. Yildiz was available despite some fatigue. Conceicao and Oponda will compete for the other forward spot, with the latter partnering Vlahovic on Spalletti's debut. In addition, Zheglowa may also get a chance in the game.
