Overview
After a 4-4 draw with Inter Milan, Juventus continued to share points with Parma with a score of 2-2 despite playing at home. After 10 rounds in Serie A this season, Juventus still has an unbeaten record, but has 6 draws.
Not being able to finish the match will be a disadvantage for Juventus in the long-term race in Serie A. In that context, the task of finding 3 points against the home team Udinese will be mandatory for coach Thiago Motta's team.
Dusan Vlahovic has been Juventus' main striker this season, scoring six goals in 10 Serie A matches so far. The striker also scored against Udinese last season.
As for Udinese, they surprisingly lost to bottom team Venezia despite leading 2-0. Not only did they lose, Udinese also lost Isaak Toure after receiving a red card in this match.
After 3 consecutive wins at the beginning of the season, Udinese are gradually feeling the harshness of the tournament. They have only accumulated 7 points in the next 7 rounds.
In that context, it will be difficult for Udinese to think about winning points against Juventus. In the last 10 meetings, Udinese only had 2 wins while having to accept 7 defeats.
Notably, since 2022, Udinese have only scored 1 goal against Juventus. However, that goal helped Udinese win the most recent meeting between the two teams in February.
Juventus may struggle to finish the game off, but they won't miss their chance against a side in turmoil like Udinese.
