Juventus vs Udinese Match Analysis & Prediction
12/02/2024 10:45 pm
After their title hopes took a bitter blow in last week’s Derby d’Italia, Juventus will be looking to start another unbeaten run on Monday, when they welcome Udinese to the Allianz Stadium.
Juventus return to Turin following defeat to Scudetto rivals Inter Milan, while Serie A’s draw specialists Udinese were held goalless by Monza.
Federico Gatti’s first-half own goal decided a top-of-the-table Derby d’Italia in Inter’s favour at San Siro, opening up a four-point gap in the Nerazzurri’s favour. That advantage has since grown to seven.
After a run of five successive league victories, while also securing their spot in the Coppa Italia semi-finals, Juventus have therefore taken just one point from their last two matches.
Head coach Max Allegri has been able to prioritise Serie A this season, due to his club’s European ban. However, they have a huge task on their hands to overhaul Inter, so victory on Monday is a must, particularly as Juventus have dominated Udinese for some time now.
Soundly beaten 3-0 at home by Juventus in their opening game of the season, Udinese have also come away empty-handed from all of their last seven visits to the Allianz Stadium.
Confidence of causing an upset on this occasion cannot be high either, as Gabriele Cioffi’s struggling side simply cannot kill off opponents and secure the points needed to pull clear of Serie A’s relegation zone.
Following last week’s stalemate at home to Monza, Udinese have drawn 13 times in the league this season, and only once in their top-flight history have they recorded more at this stage of a campaign – back in 1983.
A meagre tally of 19 points from 23 matches ties Udinese’s worst such haul this century, and with just two wins to their name so far, they are long-shot outsiders to triumph on Monday.
Juventus vs. Udinese Head to head
In the 60 previous meetings between these two teams, Juventus have claimed 42 victories while Udinese have won nine, and they have drawn in nine. Udinese have scored 42 goals and conceded 117 in the process.

Juventus Team News
After scoring five goals in his last four matches, Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic may be forced to miss Monday’s game with a thigh problem.
He would potentially join Mattia De Sciglio, Moise Kean and back-up goalkeeper Mattia Perin on the sidelines, while defensive mainstay Danilo must serve a suspension.

Udinese Team News
Udinese captain Roberto Pereyra misses the trip to his former club due to a one-game ban for accumulated bookings, and either Joao Ferreira or Kingsley Ehizibue should fill in on the right flank.
Enzo Ebosse, Jaka Bijol and Gerard Deulofeu remain unavailable, but Juventus transfer target Lazar Samardzic is fit to feature in the engine room.
