Juventus vs Tottenham Hotspur: A tactical overview

#3 The battle in the wings

Mario Mandzukic will have an important role to play in this fixture

Both the teams love to attack from the wings; Douglas Costa vs Sergio Aurier and Mario Mandzukic vs Danny Rose would be quite a battle to see. The whole battle depends if Aurier and Rose start ahead of Trippier and Davies. Rose and Aurier add more flair to their attack, but the other two are more defensive. The problem for the wing-backs would be to tackle with the agility of Douglas Costa.

On the other hand, Alex Sandro and Stephen Lichsteiner will have to face the swiftness of Son Heung-Min and Christian Eriksen.

The full-back options are more with Spurs, but Juventus also have squad depth in that position. Recently they have been shifting with De Sciglio and Lichsteiner on the right flank, and Sandro with Asamoah on the left

Both the teams believe a lot in crossing the ball, which makes the full-backs an integral part of their game.
