Juventus Vs. Catania, Lineups: Alessandro Del Piero Returns To The Starting XI

Juventus captain Alessandro Del Piero, out of the starting lineup for over a month due to injury, returned to action last week against Fiorentina, and will be handed the start in the last match of Serie A week 34, in which the Old Lady host Catania. That shifts Juve back to their 4-4-2, a relief to many as last week Alessandro Matri looked isolated and ineffective in the 4-3-3.

Catania will be looking to come back from a frightful performance against Lazio last weekend, in which Lazio scored three in the second half. Catania are certainly not safe from relegation, in 16th position with just one point on both Sampdoria and Lecce.

Juventus Starting XI: Buffon, Motta, Barzagli, Bonucci, Grosso, Krasic, Melo, Aquilani, Marchisio, Matri, Del Piero

Juventus Bench: Storari, Sorensen, Salihamidzic, Traore, Giandonato, Pepe, Toni

Catania Starting XI: Andujar; Alvarez, Silvestre, Spolli, Capuano; Carboni, Ledesma; Gomez, Ricchiuti, Izco; Maxi Lopez

Catania Bench: Campagnolo, Terlizzi, Marchese, Lodi, Schelotto, Bergessio, Pesce
