Juventus FC are looking to start yet another unbeaten run in the contest, as they meet with Udinese Calcio, after suffering an unfortunate defeat. These two teams are far from each other in the league table, which is not surprising. Juventus is at the second of the league table, earning 53 points from their 23 matches. It is just unfortunate that Juventus failed to continue their unbeaten run, losing against Inter Milan on their last match. On the other hand, Udinese is struggling in the contest, which puts them at the 17th of the league table. In fact, Udinese are just with 19 points, and a place above the drop zone, a place they want to avoid. The meeting between these two teams is on February 13, 2024, at 3:45 AM (GMT+8).
Juventus FC
Juventus’ seven-match winning streak ended in January, and their first February fixture resulted in a second Serie A defeat. Inter’s victory in the Derby d’Italia at San Siro was decided by Federico Gatti’s own goal, resulting in a four-point gap in their favor. Juve have taken just one point from their last two matches and have taken just one point from their last two matches. Head coach Max Allegri has been able to prioritize Serie A this season due to his club’s European ban. However, they have a significant task to overhaul Inter, as Juve have dominated Udinese for some time. Juve has posted four league wins without conceding a goal and last dropped a point in this fixture over eight years ago.
Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic may miss Monday’s game with a thigh problem. He could potentially joining De Sciglio, Kean, and Perin on the sidelines. Alex Sandro is expected to replace Vlahovic, and Milik and Chiesa will vie for promotion from the bench.
Udinese Calcio
Udinese, who were beaten 3-0 by Juventus in their opening game, have been empty-handed in all seven of their last seven visits. Their chances of causing an upset are low, as they cannot secure the points needed to escape Serie A’s drop zone. The Friulani have drawn 13 times in the league this season, the most in their top-flight history. Udinese have squandered the most points (15) during the final 15 minutes of play, while Juventus are one of only four teams not to have dropped any. Their meager tally of 19 points from 23 games ties the Bianconeri’s worst haul this century. Additionally, they are with only two wins so far, they are long-shot outsiders to prevail on Monday evening.
Udinese captain Roberto Pereyra is out due to a one-match ban. With that, Joao Ferreira or Kingsley Ehizibue expected to replace him. Lazar Samardzic, a Juve transfer, is fit for the visitors.
