Europa League
2010-03-18 - Fulham vs Juventus
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:Fulham will have a gigantic task to keep their European dreams alive when they welcome Juventus to Craven Cottage for this match. In the first leg they were well beaten 3-1 and have it all to do now.
Fulham suffered further defeat last weekend when they were thrashed by Manchester United 3-0. Juventus on the other hand could only draw with Siena 3-3 despite leading 3-0 at one stage on Sunday.
As for the team news, Fulham will give defender Brede Hangeland a late fitness test as he is doubtful with the chest injury that forced him out of their defeat at Old Trafford. Chris Smalling could start if Hangeland misses out.
Captain Danny Murphy and fellow midfielder Jonathan Greening are suspended while John Pantsil (knee) and David Elm (illness) are both injured, so Fulham will not be able to have a full squad here. In attack we will see Bobby Zamora partnering Clint Dempsey with Andy Johnson (knee) still out on the sidelines injured.
For the Old Lady of Turin, Juve manager Alberto Zaccheroni he needs to decide who will start in goal. Zaccheroni has Antonio Chimenti and Carlo Pinsoglio to choose from. He is already without the likes of first and second choices Gianluigi Buffon and Alex Manninger for this trip to England.
Veteran Alessandro Del Piero will start after scoring a brace in the 3-3 draw with Siena at the weekend. The likes of Giorgio Chiellini, Martin Caceres, Claudio Marchisio, Amauri and Michele Paolucci are all injured while Nicola Legrottaglie who scored the opening goal last week is out suspended.
Take Juventus NOT to lose this match.
Cheers and good luck,
