Preview: Juventus vs. Palermo

Juventus vs. Palermo

Juventus will be hoping to put an end to their recent unconvincing form when they host Palermo on Sunday.

Massimiliano Allegri's side did beat Roma before the international break, but a second successive defeat in the Champions League has left the Serie A champions searching for a boost in domestic action.

Allegri, whose team still lead Serie A by a point, must decide between Alvaro Morata and Fernando Llorente for a place in attack.

After a frustrating opening two months of the season, Palmero finally recorded their first triumph of the campaign last weekend against Cesena.

It appeared as though the Rosanero would go a seventh league game without a win before Giancarlo Gonzalez struck in the final seconds to help his team out of the relegation zone.

Barring any late injury issues, coach Giuseppe Iachini is likely to keep the same team for the visit to Turin.
