Preview: Juventus vs. Siena

Juventus vs. Siena

Juventus welcome Siena to Turin tomorrow evening as they look to bounce back from last week's 1-0 defeat at Roma.

The Bianconeri could stretch their lead at the top of Serie A to seven points before Napoli face Udinese on Monday evening.

Antonio Conte blamed the defeat in Rome on fatigue, revealing frustration that his team were forced to play three times, in both domestic and European competition, in the space of a week.

However, his squad should now be fully rested and ready to take on the relegation strugglers.

The Italian coach has no new injury concerns, as Giorgio Chiellini, Simone Pepe, Paolo de Ceglie and Nicklas Bendtner continue to receive treatment.

Vincenzo Iaquinta and Jorge Martinez are still serving suspensions, while Claudio Marchisio and Mriko Vucinic are just one caution away from receiving bans.

The visitors will be without Brazilian defender Angelo for the trip. A yellow card for Ze Eduardo or Massimo Paci will see them given suspensions.

Giuseppe Iachini's men will no doubt be buoyed by their 3-0 win over Lazio on Monday.
