Comments, predictions Udinese vs Juventus: Lucky victory

After falling further behind in the race for the top of Serie A with two draws in three days, Juventus will be aiming to return to winning ways when they face Udinese on Saturday evening.

A clash between the two Bianconeri sides will see Juventus travel to Udine without a win in their last three games, while the hosts dropped three points against Venezia in their last outing.

Latest Udinese vs Juventus team information

Juventus manager Thiago Motta could make a few changes to his squad this weekend, given the busy fixture list, so Derby d'Italia star Kenan Yildiz and recovered midfielder Teun Koopmeiners could be considered for a starting spot.

While long-term absentees Bremer and Arkadiusz Milik are unlikely to feature, Nico Gonzalez is close to a return and Douglas Luiz could return after a thigh problem.

Due to a lack of alternatives, Dusan Vlahovic - Juve's top scorer in Serie A with six goals - rarely gets a rest and will continue to lead the attack.

Meanwhile, Udinese were without Florian Thauvin, Alexis Sanchez, Thomas Kristensen and Jurgen Ekkelenkamp in midweek, but the latter could return to the squad on Saturday.

Isaak Toure's sending off against Venezia resulted in a suspension, opening the door for Christian Kabasele to return to the home side's defence.

Up front, Italy striker Lorenzo Lucca, linked with Juventus, should partner Keinan Davis or Iker Bravo, while fellow attackers Sanchez and Thauvin are still nursing injuries.

Latest Udinese vs Juventus football review

Former owners of the most solid defense in Serie A, conceding just one goal in their first eight games of the season, Juventus have recently shown signs of defensive decline; leading to a marked decline in performance.

After losing 1-0 to Stuttgart in the Champions League, Juve went on to concede four goals in a dramatic Derby d'Italia draw with Inter Milan, although a brilliant second-half comeback made up for some unusual defensive errors.

In the continued absence of injured centre-back Bremer, the Bianconeri were once again exposed on Wednesday, as newly promoted Parma scored twice in Turin, requiring equalisers from US internationals Tim Weah and Weston McKennie to salvage a point.

Thiago Motta's side have now fallen seven points behind leaders Napoli, after another draw. Juventus have now drawn 16 of their 30 domestic league games in 2024 - more than any other team in Europe's top five leagues.

In fact, another draw on Saturday would see them equal the club record for draws, set back in 1956, but Motta will be determined to end this trend and take all three points.

Ahead of their final two games before the next international break - away to Lille and then home to city rivals Torino - Juve are looking to make it 14 wins in 18 meetings with Udinese over the past decade.

Udinese have lost 68 Serie A games against Juventus - more than any other opponent - but they won when the two teams last met, with a surprise 1-0 win in Turin earlier this year.

Last week's win kept the in-form side among Napoli's pursuers, level on points with Lazio, Atalanta BC and Fiorentina, but they missed a great chance to overtake Juve on points with a defeat on Wednesday.

After taking a two-goal lead against their regional rivals Venezia, thanks to early goals from Sandi Lovric and Iker Bravo, the Bianconeri saw that advantage evaporate: Isaak Toure's red card proved costly, as the hosts converted two penalties to secure a surprising 3-2 win.

Despite his team's poor fortunes at the Stadio Penzo, coach Kosta Runjaic can still be proud of the positive start to his time in Udine.

The former Legia Warsaw boss - who previously spent much of his career in Germany - inherited a squad that narrowly avoided relegation, but now find themselves just five points behind champions Inter with more than a quarter of the season remaining.
