Juventus will host Croton in Turin on Monday night, and a player who has spent time with both clubs is expecting a tough game.

Ilyas Zeytulaev signed for the Old Lady just before her 17th birthday, but spent his time with the club in the youth squads.

The Uzbek striker made his debut for the club in Coppa Italia, but never made his Serie A debut until he joined Reggina, and it was with this team that he joined Crotone. for a loan in 2006 where he played 13 times in Serie B, scoring three league goals.

Zeytulaev has now been asked to comment on the upcoming clash between two of his previous clubs, and he predicts that Crotone will cause problems for Juventus.

“It will not be an easy game for the Bianconeri, although the result will be in their favor,” Zeytulayev said. TuttoJuve. “The difference in personnel is enormous. Crotone plays very open football, they follow the identity of their coach a lot and don’t let themselves be intimidated. in front of a high level club.

“Stroppa’s team won’t play a defensive game like Porto sometimes did, on the other hand, we saw that with Inter and Milan, they played to the end. Indeed, with the Nerazzurri, they were good to hold out until they took the hit.

He was then asked to predict the score, which he was reluctant to do at first.

“I’m not very good at making predictions,” he added. “But for me it will end 3-0 again. Juve is obliged to win, especially not to lose the head train. Or it could end 3-1, with Crotone scoring the flag goal with Messias. “

3-0 or 3-1 would be a satisfying result to give us some confidence after a stressful vigil on Wednesday, but nothing but a win will be enough.
