Kenan Yildiz has just signed a new and improved contract with Juventus and is expected to be the star of the attack when the Bianconeri host Lazio in Serie A on Sunday night.
Juventus defeated Parma 4-1 in the league last weekend and won four consecutive Serie A games. They have scored 13 goals in those four games and beat Napoli 3-0 in that match, but Luciano Spalletti’s side have since lost 3-0 to Atalanta in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals on Wednesday night.

The Old Lady are fourth in the Serie A table before kick-off, with 45 points from the first 23 games of the season. They have two more games than fifth-placed Roma, four less than third-placed Napoli and have played one fewer game than Antonio Conte’s side.

Kenan Yildiz officially received a new and improved contract on Saturday and is expected to start the offense Sunday night along with Fabio Miretti, Weston McKennie and Jonathan David.
Maurizio Sarri’s side will be without Mattia Zaccagni in attack but are expected to continue with the same front three from the Genoa game, with Gustaf Isaksson, Pedro and Daniel Maldini acting as a false nine.
It is expected to start at 19.45 GMT.
