RB Leipzig
Marco Rose will continue to deploy an attacking 4-4-2 formation against Juventus. Once again, Benjamin Sesko and Lois Openda will take charge of the attacking setup. Both strikers scored at the weekend, and the manager will hope to see their names again on Wednesday.

Antonio Nusa was handed his first start in a Leipzig shirt at the weekend and did not disappoint with his display. Rose could look to replace the young Norwegian with Christoph Baumgartner’s experience on the right side of his midfield, while another goalscorer at the weekend, Xavi Simons, is best placed to take a similar role on the left side.

There are some doubts about Eljif Elmas, although he could be in contention for this one from the bench. Others, like Kevin Kampl, Assan Quedraogo, and Xaver Schlager, are all out of contention. Rose will likely bring Arthur Vermeeren back into the midfield equation at the expense of Amadou Haidara, while Nicolas Seiwald will retain his spot in the team.

Willi Orban and Castello Lukeba are the best options to marshall RB Leipzig’s central defensive pairing, with the summer signings Lutsharel Geertruida and David Raum supporting them.

Probable Lineup (4-4-2): Gulacsi; Geertruida, Orban, Lukeba, Raum; Baumgartner, Seiwald, Vermeeren, Simons; Sesko, Openda

Juventus
Thiago Motta does not have too many concerns about injuries and absentees, as Arkadiusz Milik, Timothy Weah, and Vasilije Adzic are the confirmed absentees ahead of this trip to Leipzig. Motta did rest a few of his stars from the weekend’s game, and given his bent on using many of his squad options, this game against Leipzig could see the manager field a strong lineup.

Juan Cabal could be the only change to the backline, as Jonas Jakob Rouhi, who started at left-back against Genoa, could make way. Motta will continue to experiment with his midfield, as it appears he has not found his best pairing yet. The Juventus side has seen a constant chopping and changing of that double-pivot, and this Leipzig game will see another change to the setup.

Both starters at the weekend in Weston McKennie and Nicolo Fagioli will drop out as two of Douglas Luiz, Manuel Locatelli, and Khephren Thuram could come into the lineup. On paper, Luiz and Locatelli should form the partnership in the middle, while the front four is primarily expected to stay the same.

Teun Koopmeiners will once again be tasked with the creative duties on the side, while Nico Gonzalez and Kenan Yildiz are the preferred choices for the wide roles. Dusan Vlahovic will continue to lead the line following his goalscoring performance at the weekend.

Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Danilo, Kalulu, Bremer, Cabal; Locatelli, Luiz; Gonzalez, Koopmeiners, Yildiz; Vlahovic
