Juventus host Benfica on Thursday night, the Italian side hoping to overturn the 2-1 deficit from last week’s first leg. With a place in the final—to be held at their own stadium on May 14—at stake, the Bianconeri will hope to secure passage to this season’s Europa League showpiece.

That has left Antonio Conte with little chance to rotate, using eight of his first-choice team in Monday’s 3-1 win over Sassuolo.
Over the following pages is a look at what can be expected from the coach of La Madama in what is set to be a key match for the Turin giants.
