Juventus-Udinese is a match in the 24th day of Serie A and is played Monday at 8:45 p.m.: odds, predictions, TV and streaming.
After the weekend’s results, Juventus finds itself with AC Milan hot on its heels – the Rossoneri beat Napoli 1-0 and are now -1 – and seven lengths behind leading Inter (the Nerazzurri also have one game less), which in Saturday’s early match won a direct clash with Roma. Massimiliano Allegri’s team, in order to keep the Scudetto dream alive and consolidate second place, is called upon to move up the standings in the post-match match with Udinese, putting an end to a three-week winless streak.
The last time they haven’t won since the clear success in Lecce: in the next two days they collected only one point, the result of a disappointing draw (1-1) at the Stadium with Empoli, a match conditioned by Milik’s expulsion in the first half hour. Then the Lady returned empty-handed from the highly anticipated San Siro clash with Inter Milan, decided by an own goal by Gatti (1-0). A challenge that laid bare Juventus’ limitations, especially the offensive ones, with Vlahovic and his teammates rarely able to create any headaches for Simone Inzaghi’s lineup. The defeat, in fact, could have been even sharper had it not been for a great performance by goalkeeper Szczesny. The championship, however, is still long, but victory with the Friulians is a must in order not to lose further ground from the top. Udinese in 2024 has never won and in the last five rounds has scraped together 2 points losing to Lazio, Milan and Atalanta and drawing with Fiorentina and Monza. Disturbing ranking for Gabriele Cioffi’s team, currently third-last on equal points with Verona: no one has had fewer wins than Udinese (2), with the exception of Salernitana.
Juventus-Udinese: latest lineup news
Allegri in attack will rely on the unprecedented pairing of Chiesa and Milik: the Polish striker will take the place of the injured Vlahovic. Only bench for the young talent Yildiz, whom the Livorno coach will use in the running game. The other change is in defense, where Alex Sandro will replace the disqualified Danilo.
On the other side, Cioffi is expected to confirm Giannetti in the center of defense, moving Ferreira to the right out. Zemura and Kamara will compete for a shirt on the left while Thauvin will fill in for the disqualified Pereyra.
The prediction
Juventus has always beaten Udinese in the last four previous matches and has done so while also keeping its own goal unbeaten. A trend that should continue, taking into account the difficulties of the Friulani, who have been dry of goals in the last two days.
The probable lineups of Juventus-Udinese
JUVENTUS (3-5-2): Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Alex Sandro; Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Milik, Chiesa.
UDINESE (3-5-1-1): Okoye; Perez, Giannetti, Kristensen; Ferreira, Samardzic, Walace, Lovric, Zemura; Thauvin; Lucca.
