A key player in this game is missing. Argentinian forward Gonzalo Higuain is not called up because he is injured. Chances for Juventus might be to use Colombian midfielder Juan Cuadrado to make a difference with forward Mario Mandzukic. Good news is to see the return of midfielders Claudio Marchisio and Miralem Pjanic.
Juventus defender Dani Alves played for Sevilla between 2002 and 2008 winning the UEFA Cup twice wth Sevilla.
