🇮🇹 Igor Tudor takes over at Juventus

Juventus returns from the international break under new management and eliminated Thiago Motta for Igor Tudor on time for Saturday’s game against Genoa (1 pm et, CBS and Paramount+). Tudor is clearly responsible for rejuvenating the side after Motta’s overwhelming saying that was in charge in which they took 13 tires in the Serie A Play, just as many victories as in the competition this season. However, the big question is how Tudor will turn things around.

There are many questions, because Tudor selects his first Juventus -Line -Up, especially since it relates to his attack and midfield that it will support. The struggle of this team to win games goes hand in hand with their ability to score goals, so far only 28 goals in 29 Serie A matches this season. The attention will focus on Dusan Vlahovic and Randal Kolo Muani, who have nine and five league goals this season, but may not yet have reached their full potential as a collective. Michael Lahoud van Morning Footy argued that Motta did not get the best out of those two, but Tudor might get the best out of the pair.

• Lahoud: “The question, before Thiago Motta was fired, who was around Juventus Rent and their camp, can these two players – Randal Kolo Muani and Vlhovic – play together? Motta tried to play together, but he tried to force Kolo Muani to force Kolo Muani and his versatility.

The question of who plays behind them is just as important, especially for our national team players Weston McKennie and Timothy Weah. The couple played this season in several positions under the leadership of Motta, but although Weah has often played as a wingback, McKennie was really a kind of Swiss pocket knife for Motta. Where he lands in the structure of Tudor, although he could be a competition in midfield, his most famous position and he actually played in while Motta was still in charge.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Cup from Manchester City to lose

The Premier League is taking a rear seat this weekend while the FA Cup is being put into the spotlight for an intriguing series of quarter -final matchups. Manchester City is the only team from the traditional top six of England in the competition and the FA Cup offers the only likely opportunity for Pep Guardiola to win a trophy this season, but the field includes a group Premier League teams who have impressed in the course of the campaign -and a last lower competition in the hope in the hope of their dedite in the hope of their their dedite in the hope of their their their dedite in the department in the their their dedite in the department in the their dedite in the hope of their their dedite in the department in the their dedite in the departure in the departure.

With a place in the semi -finals in Wembley Stadium on the line, Manchester City will take on on Sunday against Bournemouth in what a crucial game will be for both parties. The pressure is of course on City, who are the favorites in this competition, despite the ups and downs of their season. That’s because they still have one of the best players in the world and will count on Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne to keep things easy, although that may be easier said than done. The Cherries were one of the teams who point out during their long Winless Run last fall during their long winless run, in which he made a 2-1 victory in the head in November that is a peak for the side. Like the rest of the field, Bournemouth can use Newcastle United as inspiration after they have become the surprise – but earned – winners of the EFL Cup and have their own impressive players to create, including Justin Kluivert in the middle of a 13 target season. This game can also be a kind of audition for manager Andoni Iraola, who has Reportedly emerged as a competition for the task of Tottenham Hotspur If they decide to say goodbye to Ange Postecoglou in the summer.

Another competition to keep an eye on this weekend is the journey from Aston Villa to Preston North End, the 14th place championship side that is the last Lower League team that has been left in the FA Cup. Villa are undoubtedly the favorites in this and can reasonably focus on silverware in an already impressive season with a berth in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League. The side of Unai Emery is perhaps one of the more formidable choices to win the FA Cup if they pass the semi -final, making the Sunday game just as important for the visitors as for the hosts.

💵 Dear bets

• NWSL: Washington Spirit vs. Bay FC, Friday 8 p.m.
  💰 The pick: Washington Spirit to Win (+130) – The NWSL season is still quite young and Bay FC started a strong start in their second season by beating Racing Louisville at home, but their journey to the capital of the country will be a difficult one. The Spirit is one of the contenders to win the competition and for a good reason, considering how deep the selection is, even when Trinity Rodman does not occur. Playing at home After he has fallen to the Stroom from Kansas City, this will be a back-back spot for the mind. – Chuck Booth
• La Liga: Real Madrid vs. LEGANES, Saturday 4 p.m.
  💰 The Pick: Real Madrid to score 2+ goals in the first half (+148) – Returning from an international break can lead to strange results in club football, but for Real Madrid they cannot afford to drop points at home. After the victory of Barcelona over Osasuna, if Los Blancos do not keep pace, they could soon be out of the race for the La Liga Crown. Nothing would be better than a quick start to prevent disappointment and with the depth of Real Madrid they can overwhelm Leganes to score early and often – Chuck Booth
